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 into their designated 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 contractors receiving payments through Remote; we do not add service or handling charges.
Yes. You can also use our contract templates and guides to help ensure full compliance with local employment laws.
Remote doesn't provide legal advice, but we supply localised contractor agreements and a comprehensive statement of work to help you and your contractors comply with local employment 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 like Remote removes repetitive admin tasks, reduces human error and lets you concentrate on the strategic priorities.
Managing payroll for contractors is an essential feature to expect from service providers, but it’s only one of several considerations. Localised contract templates, facilitating international payments, and managing tax withholdings and payments across multiple countries are equally important.
It can feel overwhelming, but working with a trusted provider like Remote simplifies the process and lowers risk. That frees up time so you can focus on running your business rather than becoming an expert on labour regulations and tax laws across many 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 employment laws and faster, easier global payments are just the start. Access to expert advice and support helps you make operational decisions quickly. With Remote’s guidance, you can onboard 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 increases your workload, and staying compliant with applicable international laws is almost impossible for teams focused on fast growth.
Paying independent contractors requires an accurate, scalable system even before your first hire. That includes ensuring contracts comply with labour and tax laws in every country where your contractors work. For example, in the United States, you also need to collect and automatically generate the correct tax forms for contractors.
If you have contractors in multiple countries, you need an easy way to pay invoices in different currencies without high bank fees or conversion costs. Automating payments will future-proof your process, especially during rapid hiring phases. Automation also saves time when managing 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.
