Start here: Hiring and managing international contractors with RemoFirst

RemoFirst simplifies the process of managing your global workforce. This guide provides an end-to-end overview of the client journey, from onboarding your first contractor to managing ongoing payments and offboarding.

1. Adding a Contractor

To begin, navigate to your RemoFirst dashboard and select "Add Contractor." You will need to provide basic information such as the contractor's name, email address, and country of residence. Once submitted, the contractor will receive an invitation to join the platform and complete their profile.

2. Setting up a Contract

After adding a contractor, you must define the terms of your engagement. You can use RemoFirst's compliant contract templates or upload your own. Key details to include are the scope of work, payment frequency (e.g., monthly or bi-weekly), and the agreed-upon rate in your preferred currency. Both parties must sign the contract digitally within the platform to ensure legal compliance.

3. Paying Contractors

RemoFirst handles the complexity of cross-border payments. Each billing cycle, you will receive a consolidated invoice covering all your active contractors. Once you fund the invoice, RemoFirst distributes the payments to your contractors in their local currencies, ensuring they receive the full amount without hidden bank fees.

4. Deactivating a Contractor

When an engagement ends, you can easily offboard a contractor by selecting "Deactivate" on their profile. You will be prompted to specify the final working day and any remaining pro-rated payments. RemoFirst ensures that the termination process follows local regulations and that all final records are securely stored for compliance purposes.
