We spoke to Marisol Jimenez, Head of People at Reverse Tech, to explore how strategic partnerships can resolve significant business challenges and drive success in a globalised economy.

Reverse Tech's full migration to Remote for EOR, contractor management and payroll was fundamentally driven by the need to scale their operations globally while ensuring full compliance with international labour laws.

The complexity of managing a global workforce required a robust solution that could handle diverse regulatory environments without compromising operational efficiency. The previous contractor setup presented challenges relating to legal compliance and the potential risk of contractor misclassification, especially in jurisdictions like France with stringent labour laws. 

To address these challenges, Reverse Tech partnered with Remote, specialising in global employment and payroll solutions. This partnership allowed Reverse Tech to leverage Remote’s expertise in navigating the complex landscape of international labour laws and payroll systems.

The support provided by Remote's team was crucial the ensure a smooth transition from the previous EOR and Contractor Management provider. At this time, a full workforce compliance audit was carried out to uncover potential misclassification risks. Reverse Tech valued Remote’s responsiveness and expertise, viewing them as an extension of their own team.  

Having all employees and contractors on a single platform allowed for better management and coordination. Remote’s in-house expertise in different locales was particularly beneficial, allowing the company to handle employment regulations and requirements in various countries effectively.

The smooth transition and integration process ensured that employee satisfaction remained high, with Remote providing the necessary tools and support to help Reverse Tech’s workforce achieve its goal of improving health and wellness globally.

In the case of Reverse Tech, the partnership with Remote payroll significantly enhanced the finance manager's ability to efficiently manage and run payroll for employees and contractors across multiple countries. 

This system streamlined the payroll management process, allowing the finance manager to handle payroll obligations with greater accuracy and less time expenditure.

Overall, the collaboration with Remote provided an intuitive and straightforward payroll system that was easy to integrate and use. Remote's continuous improvements to their platform ensured that Reverse Tech could rely on up-to-date and compliant processes, ensuring operational excellence in managing a global workforce.

1. Enhanced Compliance: Remote’s expertise in local and international labour laws significantly mitigated the risk of legal non-compliance and employee misclassification. This assurance allowed Reverse Tech to focus on its core business objectives without the overhead of legal uncertainties.

2. Operational Efficiency: The simplification of payroll processes for both contractors and employees streamlined operations, reducing the administrative burden and allowing for better resource allocation toward strategic initiatives.

3. Scalability: With Remote’s scalable solutions, Reverse Tech was well-equipped to expand its operations into new markets without the need for extensive groundwork on understanding local employment laws and payroll management.

4. Employee Satisfaction: The efficiency and reliability of the payroll system improved overall employee satisfaction, contributing to higher retention rates and attracting top talent who were assured of compliant and timely remuneration.

Encouraged by the success of the partnership, Reverse Tech plans to expand its use of Remote’s services by integrating the US payroll system for their legal entity in the United States.
