[Global] Remote expands AI-powered payroll service to 100 countries

Remote has announced the expansion of its AI-driven payroll platform to support more than 100 countries, IT Brief reports.

This development will see Remote’s in-house payroll infrastructure now covering over 100 markets, accompanied by additional features aimed at serving businesses with distributed teams operating globally.

The system reportedly combines payroll, human resources, benefits, and compliance capabilities in a single platform, enabling organisations to scale into new international markets faster and with less complexity. Remote says its approach is designed to address the challenges of delays, inefficiencies, and fragmentation tied to managing multiple vendors for different payroll and HR functions.

Businesses operating internationally have traditionally depended on payroll aggregators to navigate the intricate and precise processes required for paying teams in various countries. These aggregators typically rely on a network of smaller local vendors to tackle compliance and taxation requirements specific to each jurisdiction, which can introduce delays, errors, and compliance risks.

Remote's model is intended to eliminate dependence on payroll aggregators. Instead, it has developed its own proprietary AI-powered payroll architecture that is currently operational in several key countries, including Australia, Canada, and the UK. This strategy reportedly aims to give organisations full control over payroll processing and execution, enhancing efficiency, speed, and legal compliance.

The newly expanded Remote Payroll includes several features designed to simplify payroll processes for companies with global teams. Key features include seamless integration with other Remote services - such as Recruit, Remote HRIS, Contractor Management, and Equity - removing the need for multiple vendors and facilitating unified management of a global workforce. The platform supports salaried employees worldwide and also covers hourly workers in selected major markets, broadening the types of roles organisations can retain internationally.

In addition, Remote Payroll provides options to manage multi-country benefits plans directly within the payroll system through Remote Global Benefits, while its smart bulk uploader enables companies to migrate existing employee and pay data at scale.

Job van der Voort - Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Remote - said, "The outdated, fragmented, and slow approach to multi-country payroll - still the industry standard for most providers - simply doesn't work for modern, fast-moving companies. When people don't get paid correctly or on time, it damages your employer brand and signals that your company isn't ready to operate globally.

"Remote is giving our customers an alternative by building proprietary, AI-powered calculation engines from the ground up - already in use in some of our most popular countries for hiring, with more on the way - enabling instant processing and complete flexibility in how companies pay their teams, while upholding the highest standards of accuracy and compliance."
