Remote allows you to easily manage your entire global team in one place no matter where, when, or how they work.

An employee hired by your company is someone you employ through your own legal entity and manage using Remote HR software — as opposed to using Remote as the Employer of Record (EOR).

In this article, we cover the following:

How to add and invite employees hired by your company individually

  1. From your dashboard, go to the Team tab, click Team overview.
  2. Click on the Add new button then Add new hire.
  3. You will be asked a few questions. For employees hired by your company employees, make sure to choose the My company’s entity option.

  4. You will also be asked how you will handle payroll; if you have your own payroll provider outside of Remote, choose that option.
  5. If you have set up multiple entities, you will be ask choose which entity this employee will be assigned to.
  6. You will be prompted to fill out details of this employee. At this time, you can also assign them to a department and manager. You can choose to invite them immediately or at a later time. Click on Continue to proceed to the next step.
  7. Before sending the invite out, review the employee's details to ensure they're accurate, then click on Invite now. You can also decide to invite later.

How to bulk invite multiple employees hired by your company

If you're managing multiple team members, you can now save time by using the bulk invite feature on your HR platform. This feature allows you to invite multiple team members (hired by and paid by your organization) at once by uploading a pre-filled template.

  1. From your dashboard, go to the Team overview tab, click on Add new, and Add multiple hires.
  2. You will be asked a few simple questions. For employees hired by your company, make sure to choose the My company’s entity option.
  3. You will also be asked how you will handle payroll; if you have your own payroll provider outside of Remote, choose that option.
  4. You will be prompted to fill out details of these employees. Click the Generate your template link, which will open in a new tab.

  5. Click Generate CSV, and it will automatically download to your device. Simply open the CSV file and fill out the information about the employees you want to add and invite in bulk.
    • Ensure the following formatting requirements are met to avoid upload errors:
      • Currency: Enter the salary as an integer without decimals (e.g., 30000).
      • Date: Use the format YYYY-MM-DD (e.g., 2025-01-01)
  6. When you’re done filling out the CSV file, go back to the add employee flow and upload the CSV file.
  7. If there are any errors or missing information, we will tell you. You can decide to move forward with the employees who are ready to be invited, or you can choose to fix the errors of the employees not ready to be invited.
