Remote

Global HR Operations

Remote’s Global HR platform (including Remote HRIS, Remote Recruit, and Remote Perform) streamlines the entire lifecycle of your global workforce. The solution allows you to source, hire, and onboard international talent quickly while ensuring your processes align with local employment standards. Remote also helps you build competitive, compliant employment packages—including localized benefits—to support diversity and inclusion globally. The platform creates a central “source of truth” for managing employee data, time off, and documentation without the administrative burden of navigating foreign labor laws.

Payroll Services for Global Employees

Unlike many competitors that rely on third-party providers, Remote operates its own local legal entities in the countries where it provides Employer of Record (EOR) services. This “owned-infrastructure” model means your global payroll is processed directly by Remote’s in-house local experts rather than outsourced to unknown vendors. This ensures higher reliability, faster support, and strict adherence to the payroll laws prevalent in each employee’s country of residence.

Compliance with Local Laws

Remote provides “ironclad” compliance by assuming the legal responsibility for your distributed workforce. Because they own their local entities, their in-house legal and tax teams have direct control over compliance management. They actively monitor changes in local tax environments and labor laws, protecting your business from fines and regulatory issues. This infrastructure also supports complex compensation needs, including Remote Equity, which simplifies the granting and reporting of stock options to global employees.

Invention and Intellectual Property Rights Protection

Remote offers Remote IP Guard, a rigorous intellectual property protection feature. In countries where you employ workers via Remote’s EOR service, this system ensures a clear, legal transfer of IP rights from the employee to Remote, and ultimately to your company. This provides you with maximum security and ownership of your business’s inventions and creative work.

Employee Relocation

The Remote Relocation service goes beyond just providing information; it actively manages the complex process of employee mobility. Remote can assess visa eligibility, handle visa sponsorship, and guide your team through local immigration and tax regulations. This service allows you to retain top talent by enabling them to move legally between countries while keeping their employment compliant.

Contractor Management

Remote allows you to onboard, manage, and pay international contractors in over 200 countries and territories with automated invoicing and flexible payment options. The platform also helps you securely store contracts and tax documents. For added security, Contractor Management Plus offers indemnity protection, defending your business against misclassification risks and potential legal penalties up to a specific coverage limit.

Streamlined Ecosystem and Partner Opportunities

Remote’s platform is designed to fit seamlessly into your existing tech stack, ensuring you don’t have to abandon the tools your team already relies on. Beyond just software connections, Remote offers a robust Partner Program for agencies, VCs, and affiliates. This allows you to generate revenue by referring clients to Remote, with options ranging from simple referral links to fully embedded white-label solutions for software platforms.

Pre-Built Integrations

Remote offers native integrations with leading HR, finance, and equity management tools to automate data flow and reduce manual entry. You can sync employee and contractor details in real-time between Remote and platforms like BambooHR, HiBob, Greenhouse, QuickBooks, Xero, and Carta. These integrations ensure that when you hire or promote an employee in your HRIS or ATS, the data automatically updates in Remote for payroll and compliance, and finance data flows back to your accounting software for reconciliation.

Remote API and Custom Workflows

For businesses with specific needs, the Remote API allows developers to build custom connections and task-specific applications. This open API enables you to programmatically manage onboarding, offboarding, and payroll data within your own internal dashboards. Furthermore, for SaaS platforms looking to offer global hiring services to their own users, Remote Embedded allows you to integrate Remote’s global employment infrastructure directly into your product’s interface via API.

Getting started is designed to be frictionless. Upon clicking ‘Sign Up,’ you simply select your primary goal: hiring an employee (EOR), managing contractors, or using the HRIS platform. The setup wizard then guides you through creating your company profile with standard details (name, email, business location).

A major factor in Remote’s ease of use is its self-service model. Once your account is active, you don’t need to manually enter every detail for your new hires. Instead, you simply enter their name and email to send an invite. The platform then guides the employee through their own onboarding process—uploading their banking details, tax forms, and ID—significantly reducing the administrative burden on your HR team.

For your employees, Remote offers a highly rated mobile app. This allows your team to view payslips, request time off, and manage expenses directly from their phones, further simplifying the user experience for your entire workforce.
