Frequently asked questions

You can get started with Remote Contractor Management for free – onboard and manage contractors, paying only for active contractors each month. If your contractors perform billable activities such as invoicing, contract signing, or receiving payments for pending invoices, the cost is A$44 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 pay contractor invoices via wire transfer, ACH, SEPA, or by credit or debit card. Contractors receive payments straight to their nominated bank accounts through Stripe Connect.

Contractors don't pay to receive payments through Remote. Companies cover a flat-rate management fee for active contractors, plus a 3.5% service fee on credit card payments. Contractors always receive the full amount paid. When payments involve currency conversion — where the company pays in one currency and the contractor receives another — amounts depend on exchange rates, but Remote does not charge any additional currency conversion fees.

Yes! Wherever your contractors are, and however many you have, you can manage and pay them through Remote — and be set up in minutes. Simply sign up for free to access the Remote platform and add your contractors to start onboarding. You can even onboard several contractors at once using our straightforward contractor management tool, saving time and giving contractors a smooth transition.

Contractor compliance is critical. Remote has global expertise in employment and contractor classification laws, which lets us provide top-tier support for your international contractor team. Use our localised contracts to make sure your independent contractor agreements comply with local laws. If you ever need to convert a contractor to an employee, Remote can help you do that smoothly within the platform.

We're glad you're here! Whether you're already using Remote or new to the platform, you can easily onboard, offboard and manage independent contractors around the world. Remote streamlines paying your contractors in their preferred currencies, managing invoices, automating payments and keeping track of essential documentation. You only pay for active contractors on Remote, so if you stop working with a contractor for a few months, you don't need to do anything to save money. Remote automatically detects if your contractors are active and only charges you when you‌ use our services. For more information, see the Remote Fair Price Guarantee.
