Frequently asked questions
You can start with Remote Contractor Management for free – onboard and manage contractors, paying only for active contractors each month. If your contractors carry out billable tasks such as invoicing, contract signing, or receiving payments for pending 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 more details about Remote Contractor Management and our Fair Price Guarantee on our blog.
Businesses can settle contractor invoices via wire transfer, ACH, SEPA or credit card. Contractors receive payments straight into their nominated bank accounts through Stripe Connect.
Contractors can receive payments in the same currency at no charge. However, our payment partner may apply a 1–2% fee for currency conversion. There are no extra charges for contractors receiving payments 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.
Remote does not provide legal advice, but we supply localised contractor agreements and a comprehensive statement of work to support compliance with 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 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 such as Remote removes repetitive admin tasks, reduces the risk of human error and lets you concentrate on the most strategic priorities.
Managing payroll for contractors is an essential feature to expect from service providers, but it is only one of several considerations. Localised contract templates, facilitation of international payments and handling tax withholdings and payments across multiple countries are equally important.
It can feel daunting, but partnering with a trusted provider like Remote simplifies the process and lowers risk. This releases time for you to focus on growing your business rather than becoming an expert in labour regulations and tax laws across many countries. Not all providers offer the same capabilities, so it is important to understand the core features of independent contractor management and payroll services. Contracts that comply with local labour laws and tools that enable faster, simpler global payments are just the start. Access to expert advice and support enables faster operational decisions. With Remote’s guidance, you gain clarity on onboarding contractors in over 170 countries and access on‑demand visa and immigration support.
Making payments to contractors can strain your team’s resources, particularly when you are paying international contractors. Each new contract increases your workload. Keeping pace with international legal requirements is almost impossible for teams concentrating on rapid growth.
Paying independent contractors requires an accurate and scalable system even before you onboard your first candidate. That includes ensuring contracts comply with labour and tax laws in every country where your contractors operate. For example, in the United States, you must collect and automatically generate the correct tax forms for your contractors.
If you engage contractors across multiple countries, you need a straightforward method to pay invoices in different currencies without excessive bank fees or conversion costs. Automating payments future-proofs your process, especially during rapid hiring phases. Automation also saves time when handling invoices that carry varied payment terms.
We're glad you're here! Whether you are an existing Remote customer or new to our platform, you can onboard, offboard and manage independent contractors worldwide with ease. Remote makes it simpler to pay contractors in their preferred currencies, handle invoices, automate payments and maintain essential documentation. You only pay for active contractors on Remote, so if you stop working with a contractor for a few months, you need do nothing to save money. Remote automatically detects when contractors are active and only charges you when you use our services. For more information, see the Remote Fair Price Guarantee.
