Remote Payroll includes mandatory annual service fees and several optional add-on services. This article explains what each service is, when it applies, and whether it is required.

This article covers standardized Remote Payroll services that are available across all countries. Country specific services may be supported separately based on local requirements. Please reach out to your Remote representative for more information on country specific payroll services.

Year-end payroll processing (mandatory)

The year end payroll processing fee reflects the legal, financial, and operational work required to close out a payroll year and ensure ongoing compliance across all supported countries. This includes year end payroll reconciliation, data validation, system closeout, compliance readiness, and preparation for any required employee or employer reporting, where applicable.

  • The fee applies once per fiscal year.
  • All employees who received at least one payslip during the relevant fiscal year are included, even if they left during the year.

Billing timing

  • For countries with a fiscal year ending on December 31, 2025, the fee will appear on the February 2026 service invoice, issued on March 2, 2026.
  • For countries with a different fiscal year-end, the fee will appear on the invoice aligned with that country’s fiscal calendar. For example, if the fiscal year ends in April, the year-end payroll processing fee will appear on the April service invoice, which is issued in May.
