Frequently asked questions
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 A$44 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 funds directly into their designated bank accounts via Stripe Connect.
Contractors can receive payments in the same currency at no charge. Our payment partner may apply a 1–2% fee for currency conversions. Remote does not add any extra fees for contractors receiving payments — no service or handling charges.
Yes — you can. You can also use our contract templates and guides to help ensure compliance with local labour laws.
While Remote does not provide legal advice, we do offer localised contractor agreements and a clear statement of work to help you and your contractors comply with local labour laws and regulations. Additionally, Remote provides an extra layer of protection against misclassification risks through our Contractor Management Plus. This add-on not only helps ensure contractor compliance but also offers indemnity coverage in the event of misclassification. For businesses that want to fully outsource contractor administration, including compliance, payments and more, Remote Contractor of Record (COR) is the ideal solution.
Using an independent contractor management service like Remote removes repetitive admin tasks, cuts the risk of human error and lets you focus on core strategic priorities.
Managing payroll for contractors is an essential feature to expect from service providers, but it’s just one of many features to consider. Localised 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. That frees up time for you to focus on your business rather than becoming an expert in labour regulations and tax rules across many countries. Not all solutions are the same, so it’s important to understand the key features of independent contractor management and payroll services. Contracts that comply with local labour laws and faster, easier global payments are just the start. Access to expert advice and support helps you make operational decisions quickly. With Remote’s guidance, you can navigate 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, and staying compliant with relevant international laws is nearly impossible for teams focused on rapid growth.
Paying independent contractors requires an accurate, scalable system even before you onboard your first candidate. That includes ensuring contracts comply with labour and tax laws in each country where your contractors work. For example, in the United States, you also need to collect and automatically generate the correct tax forms for your contractors.
If you hire contractors across several countries, you need an easy way to pay invoices in different currencies without large bank fees or conversion charges. Automating payments will future-proof your workflow, especially during rapid growth, and saves time when handling invoices with varying payment terms.
We're glad 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 paying your contractors in their preferred currencies, managing invoices, automating payments and keeping essential documentation organised. You only pay for active contractors on Remote — if you stop working with a contractor for a few months, you don’t need to do anything to save money. Remote automatically detects activity and only charges you when you use our services. For more information, see the Remote Fair Price Guarantee.
