The Path Forward For payroll professionals, this transformation presents an additional opportunity to evolve from transaction processors to strategic workforce orchestrators. Payroll remains the heart of this new EOR/AOR model, but it’s no longer just about managing compliance and payments -- it’s about managing an entire talent ecosystem. The EORs that embrace this evolution will design the workforce of the future. They will deliver fast, high-quality, and low-cost talent management that is legal and compliant across all worker categories. This transformation isn’t optional - it’s an inevitable shift in the market. The question is not whether this will happen, but which EORs will lead the way and which will fall behind. The future of work is being written now, and

Implementation Roadmap To lean into this evolution, progressive EORs are taking three key steps:

compliance reports to providing forward- looking workforce intelligence, including cost savings and workforce optimization. Operations : Client services must adapt to manage the complexity structures. Workforce Orchestration : Moving from passive of different worker types and contract processing to proactive demand routing across all worker types is key. Cannabilizing Existing EOR Revenue Model : Shifting from the predominantly higher- cost EOR to the lower- cost AOR model for exponential growth in the untapped market that seeks compliant IC/freelancer/consultant payments. This evolution also requires unifying fragmented systems and workflows to create an integrated solution. Most EORs struggle with this today.

Services Model Evolution : EORs are shifting from purely compliance management to agile advisory teams that offer visibility and optimization recommendations

across previously opaque spending categories. Technology Enablement : By developing or partnering for AI-enabled talent orchestration platforms, EORs are moving beyond basic compliance tools and integrations. Advanced Analytics : Leveraging global predictive analytics, EORs are capturing and managing contingent workforce spend across categories, providing actionable insights and opportunities for optimization.

EORs are in a prime position to shape it.
