Frequently ask questions

What are the different ways to engage international talent, and how do they compare in terms of compliance, classification, and management?
  • EOR (Employer of Record): An EOR like RemoFirst can compliantly manage, pay, and support your global contractors or freelancers — handling payroll and ongoing compliance so you avoid misclassification risks and simplify administration. And if you ever decide to convert a contractor into a full-time employee, that can be done easily within the same platform.
  • COR (Contractor of Record): You work with the contractor directly, while the service provider you choose manages the legal engagement, onboarding, localized contracts, and payments to ensure compliance in their country.
  • Direct contractor hire: You engage and pay the contractor on your own, without a third-party compliance partner. This offers flexibility but may introduce misclassification or compliance risks depending on the country’s rules. Contractors handle their own taxes and benefits and can typically work with multiple clients.
When should I use RemoFirst’s contractor service instead of hiring full-time or setting up a local entity?

RemoFirst’s contractor solution is ideal when:

  • You need to hire someone quickly for a short-term or project-based role
  • You want to stay flexible while testing new markets
  • You’re not ready to set up a legal entity or commit to full-time employment

It’s also a great option when your contractor prefers to remain independent, but you still want to ensure compliant payments and contracts.

What compliance, tax or classification risks does RemoFirst manage for international contractors?

Hiring contractors directly can expose your business to misclassification risks, especially if local authorities determine the worker should be treated as an employee.

RemoFirst helps reduce that risk by:

  • Creating locally compliant contracts
  • Handling tax documentation where applicable
  • Following local laws around contractor engagement

We monitor classification risks so you can focus on working with the contractor — without getting caught in legal or tax issues down the line.

How do payments, invoicing, and currency conversion work when using RemoFirst to manage contractors?

With RemoFirst, you can:

  • Pay contractors in their local currency
  • Avoid surprises from fluctuating FX rates
  • Approve invoices directly in the platform
  • Maintain a clear audit trail for reporting and compliance

Contractors submit invoices, you approve them, and we handle the rest — including local payout rules, tax forms, and cross-border compliance.

Can I transition a contractor to a full-time employee later using RemoFirst?

Yes. If you're ready to convert a contractor into a full-time employee, RemoFirst can help with that transition. We’ll:

  • Review local employment laws
  • Help you determine classification requirements
  • Onboard the person through our Employer-of-Record (EOR) model (available in 185+ countries)

This gives you a seamless way to retain talent long-term without needing a local entity.

What does RemoFirst handle vs. what does my company need to manage when engaging contractors?

RemoFirst handles:

  • Contractor onboarding and contracts
  • Local compliance checks
  • Payments and currency conversion
  • Tax documentation and classification risk management

Your company remains responsible for:

  • Project scoping and deliverables
  • Performance oversight
  • Day-to-day communication with the contractor

It’s a true partnership — we handle the admin and compliance, you manage the work.
