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 £23 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 nominated bank accounts via Stripe Connect.
Contractors can receive payments in the same currency free of charge. However, our payment partner may levy a 1–2% fee for currency conversions. There are no extra charges for contractors receiving payments through Remote, and we do not add service or handling fees.
Yes, you can. You can also opt to use our contract templates and guides to ensure full compliance with local labour 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.
Using an independent contractor management service such as Remote removes repetitive administrative tasks, reduces the risk of human error and lets you concentrate on the most 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. This frees up a lot of time for you to focus on your business instead of becoming an expert on labour 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 labour 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, particularly when you are paying international contractors. Each new contract increases your workload. Remaining compliant with relevant international laws is almost impossible for teams prioritising fast growth.
Paying independent contractors requires an accurate, scalable system even before onboarding your first hire. That system must ensure contracts comply with labour and tax laws in every country where your contractors operate. For example, in the United States you must also collect and auto-generate the correct tax forms for your contractors.
If you engage contractors across several countries, you need an easy method to pay invoices in multiple currencies without steep bank fees or conversion costs. Automating payments will future-proof your process, especially during periods of rapid hiring. Automation also introduces time-saving efficiencies when handling invoices with varying 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.
