Pay and manage contractors anywhere in the world

You can get started with Remote Contractor Management for free – onboard and manage contractors, paying only for active contractors each month. If your contractors perform billable activities such as invoicing, contract signing, or receiving payments for pending invoices, the cost is $29 per contractor per month. A 3.5% service fee applies to credit card payments, but there are no hidden fees or surprises. For more details about Remote Contractor Management and our Fair Price Guarantee on our blog.

Businesses can pay contractor invoices by wire transfer, ACH, SEPA, or credit card. Contractors receive payments directly in their designated bank accounts via Stripe Connect.

Contractors can receive payments in the same currency for free. However, our payment partner may charge a 1-2% fee for currency conversions. There are no additional fees for receiving payments as a contractor through Remote, and we do not add any service or handling fees.

Yes, you can. You can also choose to use our contract templates and guides to ensure full compliance with local labor laws.

While Remote does not provide legal advice, we do offer localized contractor agreements and a detailed statement of work to help you and your contractors comply with local labor laws and regulations. Additionally, Remote provides an extra layer of protection against misclassification risks through our Contractor Management Plus. This add-on not only ensures compliance for contractors but also offers indemnity coverage in case of misclassification. For businesses looking to fully hand over contractor administration, including compliance, payments, and more, Remote Contractor of Record (COR) is the ideal solution.

Working with an independent contractor management service like Remote allows you to eliminate repetitive administrative tasks, reduce the risk of human error, and focus on the most critical aspects of your strategy.

Managing payroll for contractors is an essential feature to expect from service providers, but it’s just one of many features to consider. Localized contract templates, facilitation of international payments, and handling tax withholdings and payments in multiple countries are equally important.

It might seem overwhelming, but working with a trusted service provider like Remote simplifies the process and reduces risks. This frees up a lot of time for you to focus on your business instead of becoming an expert on labor regulations and tax laws across multiple countries. Not all solutions are created equal, so it's important to learn about the key features of independent contractor management and payroll services. Contracts that comply with local labor laws and facilitating faster, easier global payments are just the beginning. Access to expert advice and support helps you make critical operational decisions swiftly. With Remote’s guidance, you can understand the intricacies of onboarding contractors in over 170 countries and access on-demand visa and immigration support.

Making payments to contractors can drain your team’s resources, especially when you’re paying international contractors. Each new contract adds to your workload. Staying compliant with relevant international laws is nearly impossible for teams focused on rapid growth.

Paying independent contractors requires an accurate and scalable system even before you onboard your first candidate. This includes ensuring contracts are compliant with labor and tax laws in each country where your contractors work. For instance, in the United States, you must also collect and automatically generate the appropriate tax forms for your contractors.

If you employ contractors in multiple countries, you need a simple way to pay invoices in various currencies without hefty bank fees or conversion costs. Automating payments will future-proof your process, particularly if you're in a growth phase and hiring quickly. Automation also introduces time-saving efficiencies when managing invoices with different payment terms.

We're happy to have you! Whether you're already a Remote customer or new to our platform, you can easily onboard, offboard, and manage independent contractors worldwide. Remote simplifies the process of paying your contractors in their preferred currencies, managing invoices, automating payments, and keeping track of essential documentation. You only pay for active contractors on Remote, so if you stop working with a contractor for a few months, you don't need to do anything to save money. Remote automatically detects if your contractors are active and only charges you when you‌ use our services. For more information, see the Remote Fair Price Guarantee.
