What is Remote
Remote is a global employment platform that provides employer-of-record (EOR) services, contractor management, and multi-country payroll to help companies hire and pay workers in multiple countries. It supports onboarding, localized employment contracts, benefits administration, and compliant payroll processing, with workflows aimed at HR and finance teams. The product also includes tools for managing international contractors and running consolidated reporting across countries.
Broad global hiring coverage
Remote supports hiring employees via EOR and engaging contractors across many countries from a single platform. It centralizes onboarding steps such as document collection, contract generation, and worker profile management. This reduces the need to coordinate multiple local providers when expanding internationally.
Integrated payroll and payments
The platform combines multi-country payroll operations with contractor invoicing and payment workflows. It helps finance teams manage pay schedules, payment status tracking, and worker cost visibility in one system. Consolidated workflows can reduce manual handoffs between HR, payroll, and accounts payable processes.
Compliance-oriented HR workflows
Remote is designed around country-specific employment requirements, including localized contracts and statutory benefits handling through EOR arrangements. It provides structured processes for onboarding and ongoing employment changes that typically require local expertise. This is particularly relevant for companies without in-house international HR and legal resources.
Not a full HCM suite
Remote focuses on global employment, payroll, and contractor operations rather than end-to-end talent management. Organizations may still need separate systems for recruiting, performance management, learning, and broader workforce planning. This can increase integration and data-governance work for HR teams.
Country-level variability in benefits
Benefits availability and administration details can vary significantly by country due to local regulations and insurer/provider ecosystems. As a result, the depth of benefits options and employee experience may differ across locations. Companies with highly standardized global benefits expectations may need additional coordination.
Complex pricing and cost allocation
EOR and global payroll costs typically depend on worker type, country, and service scope, which can make forecasting and internal chargebacks more complex. Fees may be less predictable than running payroll in a single country. Finance teams often need additional reporting and controls to allocate costs accurately.
