What is total cost of employment (TCE) and how do you calculate it?

Many countries require social security or other contributions and costs in proportion to the gross salary awarded to an employee. The TCE is the sum of these contributions and the gross salary of the employee. 

For example: in 🇵🇹 Portugal, every employer is required to pay an amount equivalent to 23.75% of the gross salary to social security, contribute the equivalent of 1% of gross salary to a mandatory compensation fund, provide labour accident insurance, bi-annual work medicine appointments, and 40 hours of training. These statutory requirements are included in the TCE for employees in Portugal.

How much does Contractor Management cost?

This service is free of charge. You can facilitate contractor payments and management through Remote.com

How much do you charge per employee?

Remote.com services range from $299-$599 per month per employee when billed annually based on country selection, and $349-$699 if billed monthly. If you sign up for an annual plan, you get the first employee free of charge for 12 months! The first employee free offer is not available for monthly billing.

Canada, UK, and Ireland are $299 per employee per month when billed annually and $349 when billed monthly. All other countries are $599 per employee per month when billed annually and $699 when billed monthly.

The management fee is on top of total cost of employment (TCE) for each employee you employ through the Employer of Record service, which is the total cost of social programs mandated by the local government. In many countries, there will also be costs associated with core benefits such as healthcare or collectively bargained agreements. Because Remote.com is able to benefit from large group plans, we are able to offer competitive rates on more comprehensive coverage for your employees. They do not add a markup on any benefits premiums or administration costs!

Because Remote is the employer of record, it’s important for them to offer the same core benefits to all employees in a country to ensure fair equity and non-discriminatory hiring practices, which protects your business and theirs.

How does Contractor Management work?

After you sign up, you can invite contractors to join the Remote platform. After your contractors register, they can upload their invoices and send them for approval. Invoices will appear in your dashboard to be reviewed and approved. With one click, you can approve invoices for payment. We do the rest! Upon receiving the funds, Remote.com ensure your contractors receive their payments in their bank accounts.

Are there any onboarding or setup fees?

Remote.com don't charge onboarding or setup fees: what you see is what you get. In summary:

• Monthly reservations: $0
• Monthly fee: $299-599 per month per employee if billed yearly, $349-699 if billed month-to-month
