Ongoing Questions
What public holidays am I supposed to adhere to?
You should generally adhere to the public holidays in the location in which you are employed, although this is often handled through your company’s internal policy. Public holidays are already accounted for in Remote’s platform and do not need to be logged as a time off request. Check out our Country Explorer page to see the list of holidays in your country!
Why haven’t I received benefits information yet?
It can sometimes take several weeks for employees to receive welcome packets and detailed information from our benefits providers. If you have not received information two weeks after your onboarding, please reach out to our team and we will open an investigation with our providers.
Where do I submit expenses?
You’re able to submit expenses directly into the Remote platform. Expenses are due and must be approved by the 10th of each calendar month in order for you to receive your reimbursement in that month’s paycheck. Refer to Remote’s Help Documentation for step-by-step instructions.
How can I take time off?
You can log all your time off on the Remote platform, where your company will have direct access to approve or deny your time off requests. Refer to Remote’s Help Documentation for step-by-step instructions. To confirm your PTO balance you can reach out to our support team.
When will I be paid?
Pay day is dependent on the country you’re employed in. We process bank transfers for salaries on the last business day of each month. When you receive your salary will be dependent on the speed of the bank that is processing the payment.
Brazil, Canada, the United States, and some other countries require bi-monthly payroll, with half your salary in the first payment on the 15th of the month and the remaining salary in the second payment on the last day of the month.
Where can I find information about my probationary period?
The length of your probationary period is stipulated within your employment agreement. Currently there is no way to find this timeline within the platform, but it is a feature we are actively working on to deliver soon. If you have questions regarding the remaining duration of your probationary period, please reach out to help@remote.com.
