Hire in the US: EOR and payroll in Florida
True HR is an Employer of Record (EOR) for the US: we employ your Florida team on compliant American terms, run federal and state payroll taxes, provide workers' compensation cover and benefits, and invoice you monthly. You direct the work. Your first US hire can start in weeks, without you incorporating a US entity.
Florida has become a favourite first landing for Indian companies entering the United States. There is no state personal income tax, the eastern time zone gives a working overlap with both Europe and Latin America, and Miami, Tampa and Orlando offer sales and support talent at costs below the coasts. US employment still demands precision: employment is at-will, but federal Social Security and Medicare contributions, federal and Florida unemployment taxes, workers' compensation cover and the W-2 employee versus 1099 contractor classification rules all bind from the first hire. Getting one classification wrong invites penalties and back taxes. Incorporating a US entity, opening accounts and registering for state payroll takes months. True HR's EOR employs your Florida team on compliant US terms from day one, while you focus on the market you came for.

Local compliance
What does employing in the US actually involve?
The US employment reality
US employment is at-will in Florida and the state levies no personal income tax, but employers still owe federal Social Security and Medicare contributions, federal and state unemployment taxes, and workers' compensation cover, and must classify W-2 employees versus 1099 contractors correctly. Our EOR employs your Florida team as W-2 employees with every registration and remittance handled.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a US entity to hire in Florida?
No. True HR's EOR employs your Florida team as W-2 employees, runs federal and state payroll taxes, carries workers' compensation cover and administers benefits. You direct the work and pay one monthly invoice. If you incorporate in the US later, your team transfers to your entity cleanly.
Why do companies start US hiring in Florida?
No state personal income tax, an eastern time zone that overlaps Europe and Latin America inside one working day, and salary costs in Miami, Tampa and Orlando that sit below New York and California. For sales and customer-facing teams serving the Americas, it is a practical first base.
Should my Florida hire be a W-2 employee or a 1099 contractor?
If you set the hours, provide the tools and expect ongoing work, US law generally sees an employee, and misclassifying that person as a 1099 contractor invites penalties and back taxes. Our EOR employs your team as W-2 employees, which is the safe footing for any long-term role.
