Who should I contact if I need help as a PEO employee?
If you’re employed through Remote’s PEO model, your employer and Remote share responsibilities through a co-employment relationship. Your day-to-day employer (Remote’s client) will be your main point of contact and manages most of you HR queries, like your workload, time tracking, and general communication. Remote takes care of payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance.
This article explains who you should contact depending on the type of support you need.
In summary: contact your employer first for most day-to-day cases and only reach out to Remote directly for sensitive HR matters.

- When and how much you get paid
- Paid time off tracking or corrections

- Planning or requesting a leave
- Any questions about your employment
- Issues with your payslip
- Harassment, discrimination, or workplace misconduct
