Frequently asked questions

You can begin using Remote Contractor Management at no cost — onboard and manage contractors while only paying for active contractors each month. If contractors carry out billable tasks like invoicing, signing contracts or receiving payments for pending invoices, the fee is A$44 per contractor per month. A 3.5% service fee applies to credit card payments, and there are no hidden charges. For more details about Remote Contractor Management and our Fair Price Guarantee on our blog.

Businesses can pay contractor invoices via wire transfer, ACH, SEPA or credit card. Contractors receive payments directly into their nominated bank accounts through Stripe Connect.

Contractors can receive payments in the same currency for free. Our payment partner may charge 1–2% for currency conversions. There are no extra fees for contractors receiving payments through Remote, and we do not add service or handling charges.

Yes. You can also use our contract templates and guides to help ensure compliance with local employment laws.

Remote does not provide legal advice, but we offer localised contractor agreements and a detailed 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.

Working with an independent contractor management service like Remote removes repetitive admin, lowers the chance of human error and lets you concentrate on the most important parts of your strategy.

Managing payroll for contractors is an essential feature to expect from service providers, but it’s just one of many features to consider. Localised contract templates, facilitation of international payments, and handling tax withholdings and payments in multiple countries are equally important.

It might seem overwhelming, but working with a trusted service provider like Remote simplifies the process and reduces risks. This frees up a lot of time for you to focus on your business instead of becoming an expert on labour regulations and tax laws across multiple countries. Not all solutions are created equal, so it's important to learn about the key features of independent contractor management and payroll services. Contracts that comply with local employment laws and facilitating faster, easier global payments are just the beginning. Access to expert advice and support helps you make critical operational decisions swiftly. With Remote’s guidance, you can understand the intricacies of onboarding contractors in over 170 countries and access on-demand visa and immigration support.

Making payments to contractors can sap your team’s resources, particularly when you’re paying international contractors. Each new contract increases your workload. Staying compliant with international laws is almost impossible for teams focused on rapid growth.

Paying independent contractors requires an accurate and scalable system even before you onboard your first candidate. This includes ensuring contracts are compliant with labour and tax laws in each country where your contractors work. For instance, in the United States, you must also collect and automatically generate the appropriate tax forms for your contractors.

If you employ contractors in multiple countries, you need a simple way to pay invoices in various currencies without hefty bank fees or conversion costs. Automating payments will future-proof your process, particularly if you're in a growth phase and hiring quickly. Automation also introduces time-saving efficiencies when managing invoices with different payment terms.

We're glad you're here. Whether you're already a Remote customer or new to the platform, you can easily onboard, offboard and manage independent contractors worldwide. Remote streamlines paying contractors in their preferred currencies, managing invoices, automating payments and tracking essential documentation. You only pay for active contractors on Remote, so if you pause work with a contractor for months, you don't need to take extra steps to save money. Remote automatically detects active contractors and only charges you when you‌ use our services. For more information, see the Remote Fair Price Guarantee.
