Frequently asked questions
You can start with Remote Contractor Management for free – onboard and manage contractors while paying only for active contractors each month. If contractors carry out billable activities such as invoicing, signing contracts or receiving payments for outstanding invoices, the cost is $29 per contractor per month. A 3.5% service fee applies to credit card payments, but there are no hidden fees or surprises. For further information about Remote Contractor Management and our Fair Price Guarantee on our blog.
Businesses can settle contractor invoices by wire transfer, ACH, SEPA or credit card. Contractors receive payments directly into 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 employment laws.
While Remote does not provide legal advice, we offer localised contractor agreements and a comprehensive statement of work to help you and your contractors meet local employment laws and regulations. Additionally, Remote adds 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 that want to fully outsource contractor administration, including compliance, payments, and more, Remote Contractor of Record (COR) is the ideal solution.
Using an independent contractor management service such as Remote eliminates repetitive admin tasks, reduces human error risk and lets you concentrate on the most important parts of your strategy.
Managing payroll for contractors is a core capability to expect from providers, but only one of several considerations. Localised contract templates, facilitating international payments, and managing tax withholdings and payments across multiple countries are equally vital.
It may feel daunting, yet partnering with a trusted provider such as Remote streamlines the process and lowers risk. This releases substantial time for you to concentrate on your business rather than mastering labour regulations and tax law across numerous countries. Not every solution is the same, so it pays to understand the key functions of independent contractor management and payroll services. Compliant contracts and the ability to facilitate faster, simpler global payments are only the starting point. Access to specialist advice and support enables faster operational decisions. With Remote’s guidance, you can navigate contractor onboarding across more than 170 countries and obtain on-demand visa and immigration assistance.
Processing payments to contractors can strain your team’s resources, particularly when you are paying international contractors. Each new contract increases your workload. Remaining compliant with applicable international laws is practically impossible for teams concentrating on fast growth.
Paying independent contractors requires an accurate and scalable system before you onboard your first candidate. This means ensuring contracts comply with labour and tax laws in every country where your contractors operate. For example, in the United States you must also collect and automatically generate the correct tax forms for contractors.
When you engage contractors across several countries, you need an easy method to pay invoices in multiple currencies without excessive bank fees or conversion charges. Automating payments will future-proof your operations, especially during rapid hiring. Automation also creates time-saving efficiencies when handling invoices with varying payment terms.
We're glad you're here! Whether you are already a Remote customer or new to the platform, you can easily onboard, offboard and manage independent contractors across the world. Remote makes paying contractors in their preferred currencies, managing invoices, automating payments and organising essential documentation straightforward. Remote Fair Price Guarantee.
