Frequently asked questions
A Contractor of Record is a third party that becomes the legal counterparty to an independent contractor — taking care of contracts, compliance, invoicing and payments — rather than you engaging the contractor directly. With Remote as your COR, we assume the classification risk* and handle the admin, so your team doesn't need to become specialists in local contractor law.
An Employer of Record (EOR) is intended for people who should legally be employees. Remote hires them on your behalf and manages payroll, benefits and full employment protections. A Contractor of Record covers genuine independent contractor work — Remote becomes the contractor’s legal engager, not their employer, so there's no payroll or benefits, just compliant engagement, payments and protection against misclassification.
Contractor of Record starts at A$497 per contractor per month, which includes direct engagement, background checks, and uncapped indemnity against misclassification*. A 15% of invoice rate is also available depending on your setup.
You might choose Contractor of Record if you don’t have an entity in the contractor’s country, if your contractor program is growing faster than your internal compliance team can manage, if the engagement carries significant classification risk, or if investors or auditors expect contractors to be engaged through a compliance-first third party.
Contractor of Record often suits AI data projects that hire large numbers of annotators, reviewers and domain specialists across multiple countries, frequently on short or variable assignments. Remote becomes the legal engager for each contractor, manages local agreements and payments, and assumes the misclassification risk* associated with high-volume, task-based engagement. IP ownership transfers to you.
Yes. If the relationship should become employment, Remote can convert it to an Employer of Record engagement, so you don't have to manage the transition or the related compliance risk.
