Remote

Remote is a global HR platform that makes it simple for companies to hire, pay, and manage employees and contractors in over 180 countries — including Germany. Built for the distributed work era, Remote provides the infrastructure that companies need to build international teams compliantly and efficiently.

For expats in Germany working for overseas employers, Remote’s Employer of Record (EOR) service is particularly valuable. It enables non-German companies to legally employ workers in Germany without establishing a local entity, taking care of German employment contracts, payroll, tax filings, social security contributions, and benefits administration.

Remote also provides a global payroll solution for companies with existing German entities, as well as contractor management tools for those working on a freelance or project basis. The platform’s comprehensive HRIS covers onboarding, time-off management, expense tracking, and equity administration.

For expats who are self-employed or working internationally, Remote offers tools to manage payments from multiple clients across different countries — with built-in compliance support that reduces the administrative burden of cross-border work. Remote is known for its transparency, with publicly listed pricing and a commitment to worker equity globally.
