Frequently asked questions
RemotePeople’s Contractor of Record service engages eligible independent contractors through RemotePeople’s entities and manages classification assessment, contracts, invoicing and payments. Eligibility depends on the working relationship and local requirements. The service agreement defines RemotePeople’s responsibilities and any agreed protection.
With RemotePeople contractor management, your company contracts directly with the contractor and retains responsibility for the engagement. With RemotePeople Contractor of Record, a RemotePeople entity engages an eligible contractor and manages the responsibilities agreed in the service contract. Classification still depends on the actual working arrangement and local rules.
Misclassifying employees as contractors can result in back taxes, penalties, benefits owed, and legal fees—potentially costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Different countries have different definitions, making international contractor relationships particularly risky. RemotePeople assesses contractor classification before engagement.
RemotePeople uses a worker classification questionnaire reviewed by local legal experts. We assess the relationship based on location, job description, work setup, and control factors. If the relationship doesn't qualify for COR, we'll recommend our EOR service instead.
RemotePeople can onboard eligible contractors in as little as 48 hours after the required agreements, information and classification review are complete. Local requirements or additional verification can extend the timeline, so RemotePeople confirms the expected start date for each engagement.
RemotePeople Contractor of Record starts at $199 per contractor per month for classification assessment, contract preparation, compliance monitoring, invoicing and payment processing. Contractor compensation is billed separately; RemotePeople confirms the rate and engagement terms in the proposal.
Yes. RemotePeople can facilitate optional benefits packages for contractors, including health insurance and other perks. Note that stock options are not available for COR contractors—if equity is important, consider our EOR service instead.
For fixed-rate contracts, RemotePeople requires a one-month security deposit (contractor wages plus management fee). Since we're legally obligated to pay the contractor even if you don't pay us, this protects both parties. Pay-as-you-go contracts don't require deposits.
