Frequently asked questions
How does Pebl keep us compliant with local labor laws in 185+ countries?
Pebl says its regional legal teams monitor regulatory shifts, flag issues before they become problems, and keep every EOR engagement up to date. It cites backing from global employment law firm Baker McKenzie, 18 global employment licenses (including Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands), and more than 100 employment and financial audits passed.
What does Pebl cost, and does pricing vary by country?
Pebl describes one predictable monthly cost covering payroll, benefits, compliance, reporting, and workforce management, and says there are no hidden fees. It does not publish rates: pricing varies by country and is quoted after a demo or contact-form conversation, so budget a per-employee monthly fee rather than a flat platform licence.
How quickly can we onboard someone in a new country?
Pebl advertises hiring in as little as 24 hours, locally compliant contracts in 25+ languages created in minutes, and onboarding in days instead of the months required to establish a local entity. Pebl employs staff through its own entities in roughly 90% of cases, so no customer-side entity setup is needed.
Which systems does Pebl integrate with?
The integration catalogue lists 250+ apps across HCM/HRIS, ATS, accounting, and expense management, including ADP Workforce Now, BambooHR, HiBob, Dayforce, Gusto, Oracle HCM Cloud, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, SAP Concur, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Slack.
What security and compliance certifications does Pebl hold?
Pebl states it is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and has a SOC 2 Type 2 report. It cites AES-256 encryption, endpoint protection, multifactor authentication in its development lifecycle, and 24/7 on-call engineering, and says it follows GDPR principles for EU data and APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules where applicable.
