Working with a freelancer or contractor in another country? RemoFirst gives you compliant contracts, automated invoicing, and local currency payouts in 150+ countries, while also managing misclassification risk for you.

Trusted by companies paying contractors worldwide

From invoice to payout,
without the spreadsheet.

This is what actually happens once you start mangaging and paying
a global contractor through RemoFirst.

A Few Minutes

Add the contractor

Name, country, role, pay. We automatically generate a contractor agreement built around local requirements.

Every Pay Cycle

They log hours, you approve

Contractors submit timesheets or invoices directly in the platform. You review and approve with a click. No manual, no spreadsheets.

Inovices
One Invoice

Everyone gets paid in their currency

You pay one invoice in your currency. Every contractor gets paid in theirs, wherever they are.

Stay Compliant

Compliant contracts that actually protect you from misclassification.

Misclassifying a contractor can get expensive fast. If the working relationship looks more like employment than independent work, it can come with costly consequences.


RemoFirst automatically generates locally compliant contractor agreements, so you can meet local requirements wherever your contractors are based.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about engaging global contractors.

What if I only have one contractor or don’t pay them every month?

That’s fine. There’s no fee to onboard or manage contractors through RemoFirst, and it costs $25/month per contractor paid through the platform. You still get the same support for compliant contracts and misclassification risk, whether you’re managing one contractor or many.

Is it cheaper to just pay a contractor directly through my bank or PayPal?

It can look cheaper upfront, but there’s more to consider than the cost of the payment itself. Misclassification can lead to fines, back taxes, and mandatory benefits owed retroactively. RemoFirst’s flat fee helps reduce that risk while simplifying contractor payments.

How do I know if my contractor relationship has misclassification risk?

Look at how the relationship works in practice, not just what the contract says. Working full-time for one company, having little control over how or when the work gets done, or being managed like an employee can all point to misclassification risk. RemoFirst helps you assess contractor relationships and identify when a worker may need to be hired as an employee.

What happens if I decide to convert a contractor to a full-time employee?

RemoFirst can help you transition them from contractor to employee and onboard them through our Employer of Record model in 185+ countries, with everything handled in the same platform.

Does RemoFirst work for both short-term projects and long-term contractors?

Yes. Whether you’re hiring a contractor for a single project or working with them long term, RemoFirst’s platform handles the agreement, onboarding, and payments.
