How you get paid depends on whether you’re a contractor or an employee. This page covers how your base pay is processed (plus invoices/expenses where relevant).
- Contractors submit a monthly invoice to get paid (and can submit expenses alongside it).
- Employees are paid automatically through payroll, based on their employment contract.
If you’re on the Sales or Customer Success team, you’ll also have a variable component to your pay. Make sure to review: ‣ for details on commissions and variable pay.
If you live outside the USA, you’re most likely a contractor. If you’re unsure which group you belong to, please review your contract and follow the applicable process below.
🌍 Contractor process
Submit your monthly invoice to remote.com by the 3rd of the following month.
- Example: submit your invoice for June 1–30 by July 3.
- Sarah processes invoices on the 4th of every month (or earlier if the 4th falls on a weekend).
- We pay into whichever account you select as your withdrawal method in Remote.com during your setup.
How to create your Invoice 🧾

Invoice requirements ✅ :

If you are new to the team and haven’t worked a full month, you will charge a pro-rated amount on your first month’s invoice. The Ops team will reach out to you during your onboarding to provide these calculations.
