Can Direct employees request paid time off on Remote?

Yes. As part of Remote’s Direct employee offering — which allows customers to onboard and manage employees hired through their company’s own entity — Direct employees can request paid time off on the Remote platform. For a Direct employee to request paid time off, the Company Admin must fill out the employee's contract details and also assign a People Manager to the Employee.

How does Remote calculate a Direct employee’s time off balance?

• In countries without a paid time off policy, a standard calculation will be used: The amount allotted in their contract minus time already used.
• In countries with a paid time off policy, a country-specific calculation will be used that will account for: the amount allotted in their contract, country requirements, and time already used.

Both EOR and Direct employees follow the same time off request and approval process.
