Express Global Employment

Express Global Employment is the global PEO and payroll solution operated by Acumen International. It allows companies to engage workers in countries where they have no registered business by acting as the legal employer for tax and employment purposes, covering onboarding, payroll, employee benefits, social security and statutory contributions, ongoing employment administration and offboarding.

The service is based on a co-employment model: Acumen takes on the legal employment responsibilities for the client's international staff while the client continues to direct day-to-day work. The company positions this as a way to make employment costs more predictable and to limit exposure to obligations around taxes, social security and worker compensation, without the time and cost of setting up a local subsidiary.

The offering combines workforce and compliance assessment tools, PEO services and HR operations support, and covers more than 190 countries. It is aimed at businesses that want to enter new markets, employ local or relocated talent compliantly, and manage cross-border payroll and labour law obligations without in-country infrastructure.
