Remote is best known for employer of record services, but its Global Payroll product is for companies that already have their own entity in each country. Remote's pricing page lists Global Payroll from $19 per employee per month, with no setup or onboarding fees and the Remote Platform included. It calculates gross-to-net locally, remits tax filings and statutory contributions in each country, and syncs time off, timesheets and expenses. Remote says it runs payroll in 100+ countries, including the UK, and that it is a regulated payments institution in Canada, the UK and the EEA. Reports can be split by country, entity and cost center, and you can run payroll yourself or have a specialist manage it. For a business with UK staff only, the per-employee price is high next to Sage or Moneysoft and the payroll page does not spell out UK auto-enrolment handling, so ask for detail. For a group with UK and overseas entities, one provider for every country is the draw.

Who it is for
