The Global Payroll and Benefits, also known as Remote’s premium plan, features the peak of Remote’s payroll services at customized rates. In addition to the full features of the Employer of Record plan, this plan provides users with custom business reports.

This plan allows multinational companies to centralize their payroll system across multiple nations. And this centralization does not only make payroll seamless. It also reduces costs for your business and ensures that you do not flout local payroll regulations where you have entities.

Special Plans

The business also offers two specialized plans. The ‘Remote for Good’ plan is ideal for non-profits needing an affordable platform for onboarding, paying, and managing their staff and contractors.

Other Charges

One outstanding feature of Remote Global Payroll is that no hidden charges are imposed. You get charged transparently for the services you enjoy. You can choose from the monthly or annual (at 14% discount per month) billing options.

Nevertheless, in addition to your monthly/annual billing, Remote charges you a security deposit. This deposit serves to cover the cost incurred during contract termination, as well as the difference between invoice values and actual payment values for your employees. However, you will receive a refund of this amount at the end of each employee’s employment period.

Remote is a global payroll service platform that helps the business of all sizes in hiring and paying the top talent. While the majority of the benefits can be extracted by large, multinational enterprises, it offers a comprehensive range of solutions that address the need of all businesses. The company was founded in 2019 and has since then evolved into a trusted provider of global payroll management services.

Global HR Operations

The Remote HR solution helps you manage employee recruitment and assessment by ensuring that your hiring process tallies with international employment procedures.

Contractor Management

With Remote, you can manage your contractors, approve their invoices and complete their payments in a few clicks. This platform also allows you to securely store contracts and employment documents for the duration of each employee’s employment period.

Furthermore, Remote stands as an entity to defend you against false claims by contractors who either claim to be employees or are misclassified by their country’s laws and regulations.

As much as Remote provides you with premium payroll and employee management services, it also wants to ensure that your entire business process is streamlined. You don’t get to ditch the solutions and products you already love. As a result, this service enables you to integrate a wide range of other business software and products.

Remote Payroll features an intuitive and user-friendly interface that ensures that your entire payroll processes are completed seamlessly. Firstly, setting up a Remote account is as simple as opening a Facebook account, except you won’t have to upload any pictures.

Upon clicking on the ‘Get Started’ option, you’ll need to indicate the kind of service you need: to pay international employees or to pay contractors. Your selection will make your setup pretty much more streamlined for the type of service you need.

After selecting your purpose for signing up with Remote, you only need to enter your name, company email, and password.
