What is Horizons’ annual upfront pricing model?
Horizons offers an Annual Upfront Pricing model designed for companies that value financial predictability, simplified billing, and uninterrupted global employment services. Instead of paying service fees monthly, you can prepay for 12 months of Employer of Record (EOR) services per employee, and receive a 10% discount on those fees.
This model is ideal for fast-scaling businesses, finance teams managing fixed budgets, or anyone looking to reduce administrative overhead.
Key Benefits of Annual Upfront Pricing
✔ No Monthly Invoicing or Payment Approvals
With one annual payment, you avoid the hassle of monthly billing cycles and recurring approvals.
✔ Predictable, Stable Budgeting
You’ll know exactly what to expect for the year ahead—no surprises or mid-year fee changes.
✔ Locked-In Pricing for 12 Months
Your EOR service fees are protected from increases during the subscription period.
✔ Free Employee Replacement
If an employee leaves or is terminated during the 12-month term, you can replace them at no additional EOR service fee. We’ll even help source a new hire if needed.
✔ No Service Interruptions
Prepaid service means you won’t face disruptions due to billing delays or missed payments.
What Else Should I Know?
The 12-month payment is non-refundable. This commitment is in exchange for a 10% discount on our core EOR service fees.
Unused service credits can still be applied within your contract term, even if an employee leaves or you pause hiring temporarily.
If you cancel early or reduce headcount, the service credit remains available for the full term, but no refunds are issued.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if an employee leaves before the year ends?
You can replace them with a new hire at no extra service fee during your 12-month term. We’re also happy to assist with sourcing new talent.
Can I get a refund if I cancel early or reduce headcount?
No, the payment is non-refundable. However, the service credit remains available for the rest of your term.
What’s included in the 10% discount?
The discount applies to Horizons' core EOR service fees. Local employment costs like statutory benefits or taxes are billed separately.
How does this help with my budgeting and approvals?
You’ll only need to approve one payment per year, which simplifies planning and keeps operations smooth and predictable.
Will I be reminded when it’s time to renew?
Yes, your Customer Success Manager will reach out well in advance to help plan your renewal and any changes needed.
Can I switch back to monthly payments later?
Absolutely. After your 12-month term ends, you can choose to renew annually or return to monthly billing.
Does the annual payment cover all employees or just specific ones?
It’s flexible—you can opt in some or all of your EOR employees.
Can I add new employees under the same annual pricing agreement?
Yes, for the first 90 days of your contract, we offer prorated annual pricing for new hires to align with your term. After that, they’ll be invoiced separately under a new annual agreement.
