About Remote

Remote hires workers in countries where a customer has no legal entity, using its employer of record service, and it runs local payroll that the site says is paid on time. Its contractor product handles contracts, invoices and payments for independent workers, and its PEO product takes on complex employment tasks. The site also lists entity setup, background checks, device management, benefits and mobility services, so one vendor covers several parts of hiring abroad.

The pricing page lists global payroll at $29 per employee a month, employer of record at $699 per employee a month, and contractor management at $29 per contractor a month. Each product sends visitors to a demo request. Remote suits companies that hire across many countries without setting up entities. A company with staff in a single country will pay for coverage it does not need.
