Remote has a large team of global benefits and legal experts in regions all over the world. They bring a deep understanding of what benefits are competitive and compliant in every market, and are continuously updating our plans to meet market needs. We also work with best-in-class providers to administer benefits that match employee needs in every country.

Remote leverages our strong relationships with global providers combined with our large headcount to offer competitive large-group pricing to our customers. We also don't charge a premium on our benefits or add extra costs for benefits management. Our customers and their employees receive the same great deals we get for our own team members.

At Remote, we manage every part of the benefits administration process — from researching local norms and laws, establishing relationships with top vendors, negotiating deals, administering benefits, handling employee enrollment, offering continuous employee support, dealing with annual renewals, and much more — so you can give your team the best without the hassle.

At Remote, we’re leading the way in practicing fair equity, which means making sure our customers can offer the statutory and supplemental benefits that all their employees need to thrive — no matter where they live.

Yes, compliance is our top priority. Our team of legal and benefits experts work to ensure that our benefits plans are fully compliant in every country we hire in, even as laws change.

Yes. In most markets we are able to offer multiple options, like standard and premium packages for health plans. In some of our larger markets, like the US, Canada, UK, and others, we are able to offer an even greater number of plan types and flexibility. In many countries we are also able to offer the ability for customers to decide whether or not they wish to offer our benefits to their employees. We are also always improving and adding to our offerings to increase customer and employee flexibility while remaining fully compliant with local labor laws.

The short answer is — it depends. There are some countries where for legal and/or social reasons, we are required to offer basic benefits (such as healthcare) to all employees hired through Remote. In these cases, we offer low-cost options that will work for our customer’s budgets. In many other markets, we do not require customers to offer benefits outside of standard payroll deductions for statutory social programs. You will see the benefits options when onboarding your employee and can reach out to our team with any questions.

In our employee dashboard, employees will be able to click on the “benefits” tab to easily see what benefits are available to them, along with instructions on how to enroll, how to use their coverage, how to add dependents, and more. Our team of benefits specialists are also available to help with any questions or concerns they may have. Along with benefits management, we provide continuous support throughout their journey.
