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 NZ$48 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 payments 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 ensure full compliance with local labour 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 meet local labour 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 wanting to fully hand over contractor administration — including compliance, payments and more — Remote Contractor of Record (COR) is the ideal solution.
Working with an independent contractor management service like Remote eliminates repetitive admin tasks, reduces human error and lets you focus on the most important parts of your strategy.
Managing payroll for contractors is an essential capability from providers, but only one among many. Localised contract templates, facilitation of international payments, and handling tax withholdings and payments across countries are just as important.
It can feel overwhelming, but partnering with a trusted provider like Remote streamlines the process and reduces risk. That frees up time for you to focus on the business instead of becoming an expert in 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 labour laws and quicker, easier global payments are just the start. Access to expert advice and support helps you make operational decisions promptly. With Remote’s guidance, you can navigate onboarding contractors in over 170 countries and access on-demand visa and immigration support.
Making payments to contractors can drain your team's resources, especially when you’re paying international contractors. Each new contract adds to your workload. Staying compliant with relevant international laws is nearly impossible for teams focused on rapid growth.
Paying independent contractors requires an accurate and scalable system even before you onboard your first candidate. This includes ensuring contracts are compliant with labour and tax laws in each country where your contractors work. For instance, in the United States, you must also collect and automatically generate the appropriate tax forms for your contractors.
If 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 will future-proof your process, especially during rapid hiring, and saves time 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.
