Frequently asked questions
Start 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 in their nominated 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 may also use our contract templates and guides to help ensure compliance with local employment laws.
While Remote does not provide legal advice, we do offer localised contractor agreements and a detailed statement of work to help you and your contractors comply with local employment 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.
Using an independent contractor management service like Remote removes repetitive admin tasks, lowers the risk of human error and lets you concentrate on strategic priorities.
Managing payroll for contractors is a key feature, but it’s only one of several to weigh. Localised contract templates, support for international payments, and handling tax withholdings and payments across countries are equally important.
It can feel overwhelming, but partnering with a trusted provider like Remote simplifies the process and reduces risk. That gives you more time to focus on your business instead of trying to master labour regulations and tax rules across multiple 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 employment laws and faster, easier global payments are just the start. Access to expert advice and support helps you make critical operational decisions quickly. With Remote’s guidance, you can navigate onboarding contractors in over 170 countries and access on-demand visa and immigration support.
Paying contractors can drain your team’s resources, particularly when you’re paying international contractors. Each new contract increases your workload. Staying compliant with relevant international laws is almost impossible for teams focused on rapid growth.
Paying independent contractors requires an accurate, scalable system before you onboard your first candidate. That includes ensuring contracts comply with labour and tax laws in every country where your contractors work. For example, in the United States you must collect and automatically generate the correct tax forms for your contractors.
When you engage contractors across multiple countries, you need an easy way to pay invoices in different currencies without steep bank fees or conversion costs. Automating payments future-proofs your process, especially during rapid hiring. Automation also saves time when managing invoices with differing payment terms.
We're glad you're here! Whether you're an existing Remote customer or new to the platform, you can easily onboard, offboard and manage independent contractors worldwide. Remote simplifies paying contractors in their preferred currencies, managing invoices, automating payments and keeping 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.
