Each person you hire through RemotePass needs a contract, which sets out their role, pay and terms and triggers their payments once it's signed.
To get started, go to People and click Add New. Then choose whether you're hiring a contractor or an employee.
Contractors are independent workers or businesses who invoice you for their work.
Employees are hired either through RemotePass as your Employer of Record, or directly under your own entity.
Adding a contractor
1. Choose the contract type
Type | How they're paid |
Fixed | A fixed rate paid weekly, bi-weekly or monthly |
Pay as you go | Paid per day or per hour, based on timesheets |
Milestones | Paid as each milestone is completed |
2. Add the contract details
Add the contract information, such as their role and scope of work.
Add the payment details, including the start and end date, the amount and how often they're paid. You can pay weekly, every other week, twice a month or monthly.
3. Complete the compliance step
Choose how you want to finalise the contract:
Use RemotePass's template: our legally compliant contract template
Upload my contract: upload your own signed contract (PDF only)
Use your templates: select one of your saved templates
You can also add a notice period, vacation allowance and other benefits, such as health insurance.
4. Invite your contractor
Once the contract is finalised, click Invite contractor and enter their email address. You can edit the invitation email before you send it.
Pro tip: Edit the default invitation email and save it as your template. Every contract you send after that will use the same message.
Adding an employee
Select Employee, then choose the employment type:
Employment type | What it means |
EOR | RemotePass hires the employee on your behalf in their country of residence and handles local taxes |
Direct Employee (new) | Onboard an employee under your own entity and manage them through RemotePass |

Click Invite worker to send them their invitation.
Hiring a direct employee

Complete the compliance step by uploading their contract and adding their probation period and vacation allowance.
