Expand your team in Kazakhstan with Remote

Remote now lets you pay contractors in Kazakhstan in select currencies (talk to a Remote expert now for further details).

When companies hire in Kazakhstan, they will usually need to either set up a local legal entity or partner with a global employment solutions provider to employ people on the company's behalf. Establishing the processes to handle payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in jurisdictions such as Kazakhstan can become complex quickly without local expertise. If you plan to begin hiring in a market like this, using a global HR platform such as Remote makes it straightforward to hire people in full compliance with local legislation. In the countries where we do offer our Employer of Record product, Remote assumes responsibility for compliance, allowing you to concentrate on hiring top talent and growing your business.

Kazakhstan, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Kazakhstan may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
