Frequently asked questions
A Contractor of Record is a third party that becomes the legal counterparty to an independent contractor — taking on the contract, compliance, invoicing and payments — rather than you engaging them directly. With Remote as your COR, we assume the classification risk* and handle the administration, so your team need not become specialists in local contractor law.
An Employer of Record (EOR) applies where workers should legally be employees. Remote hires them on your behalf, managing payroll, benefits and full employment protections. A Contractor of Record covers genuine independent contractor arrangements. Remote becomes the contractor’s legal engager, not their employer, so there is no payroll or benefits — only compliant engagement, payments and protection against misclassification.
Contractor of Record starts at S$436 per contractor per month, which includes direct engagement, background checks, and uncapped indemnity against misclassification*. A 15% of invoice rate is also available depending on your setup.
Consider Contractor of Record if you lack an entity in the contractor’s country, if your contractor programme is scaling faster than your internal compliance team can manage, if the engagement carries genuine classification risk, or if investors or auditors expect contractors engaged via a compliance-first third party.
Contractor of Record often suits AI data work, where teams engage large pools of annotators, reviewers and domain specialists across many countries, frequently for short or variable projects. Remote becomes the legal engager for each contractor, manages local agreements and payments, and assumes the misclassification risk* associated with high‑volume, task‑based engagements. IP ownership transfers to you.
Yes! If the relationship needs to become employment, Remote can convert it to an Employer of Record engagement, so you're not managing that transition or the compliance risk that comes with it.
