#CountryRegionTimezoneDeel Coverage (verified)Employer SS CostOur PreferenceReasoning
Timezones: recomputed for all countries as an offset from CET (standard time, no DST), using each country's real UTC offset — not just reformatted from the previous ad-hoc labels, several of which had errors.
Preference logic: B2B / Contractor where employer SS is high (≥~15%) or EOR is unavailable. EOR or B2B where SS is low (<~15%) — both options are cost-viable. EOR-only countries follow Deel's restrictions.
Special case: Malta — we operate via our own legal entity, EOR only through our own structure.
