A new chapter for Remote Payroll: More control, flexibility, and opportunity to scale

In 2025, managing global payroll really shouldn’t be complicated. But for many businesses, it still is. Fragmented tools, inconsistent processes, and the constant pressure to stay compliant across borders can slow your team down and put growth at risk.

At Remote, we believe payroll should be a strategic advantage — not a source of friction. Which is why we’re introducing a major expansion to our in-house payroll infrastructure, with a host of powerful new updates to our platform.

What’s new?

Remote is consolidating payroll, HR, benefits, and compliance into one platform, letting you break into new markets at speed and with total confidence.

At its core is our proprietary, AI-powered payroll engine. Because it’s built in-house — with no third-party processors in sight — it runs calculations instantly, keeps every data point under your control, and adapts to local rules as your headcount grows.

Owning every layer of the stack also means we can react faster when regulations shift. When paired with our on-the-ground experts in more than 100 countries, you get a payroll experience that’s precise, reliable, and ready to scale alongside your ambitions.

Who is it for?

If you're building (or planning to build) a global business, then this solution is for you — regardless of your size or location.

Whether you’re:

• a high-growth company scaling quickly into new markets;

• a distributed or hybrid team with talent across multiple regions;

• a company with complex payroll needs that span currencies, time zones, and labor laws; or 

• an HR, finance, or operations team looking for a reliable, streamlined solution…

…Remote Payroll is designed to help move you forward.

How does it help your business?

Remote Payroll enables you and your team to:

Get time back with smarter workflows

Our Smart Bulk Uploader lets you bring all your payroll data into Remote quickly and easily. There’s no more juggling spreadsheets, switching between tools, or worrying about data loss; everything is fast, simple, and built for scale.

This allows you to spend less time on manual inputs, and more time focusing on what matters.

Expand confidently with wider workforce support

We now provide increased support for hourly wage workers in the US, UK, Canada, and Ireland. You can run payroll for more roles, in more places, without needing additional systems or workarounds.

This enables you to tap into new talent pools and workforce models, without adding extra complexity to your operations.

Centralize everything with integrated benefits

With expert benefits support through SimplyInsured (for the US) and Kota (for other countries), you can now manage your payroll and benefits together in one place. That means less fragmentation, fewer vendors, and a smoother experience for your team.

This means a better employee experience, reduced administrative work, and improved compliance with local laws — all in one platform.

Trust in accuracy with our homegrown engine

Our proprietary payroll engines — built by our in-house experts — have been deliberately designed to boost payroll accuracy across key markets.

This helps eliminate the risk of costly errors, and allows you to sleep better at night knowing payroll is taken care of.

Manage all your HR functions in one place

Remote Payroll integrates seamlessly with our other global HR and employment tools, including Recruit, Remote HRIS, Contractor Management, Remote Equity, and more.

This eliminates the need for multiple vendors and data sources, and enables you to manage your global workforce easily and efficiently.

Go further with value-added payroll services

In addition to core payroll processing, Remote offers a growing suite of value-added services that support your evolving needs, such as off-cycle payroll runs, custom payroll reports, and built-in year end processing.

These services help reduce overhead, simplify compliance across borders, and give your team greater flexibility in managing complex payroll scenarios — all backed by the same powerful infrastructure and local expertise you trust.

"The outdated, fragmented, and slow approach to multi-country payroll simply doesn't work for modern, fast-moving companies. We’re giving our customers an alternative by building proprietary, AI-powered calculation engines from the ground up, enabling instant processing and complete flexibility in how you pay your teams — and upholding the highest standards of accuracy and compliance."
