Payroll should feel like a button, not a boss fight. Approve the work, press pay, and move on. That’s the experience Flexhire builds: global, simple, and audit-proof.

Flexhire pricing is direct: $100 per active contractor per month. You choose the schedule, the rails, and the approval rules. We keep the records tidy and the audits boring.

Why teams go with Flexhire

• Pay your entire team painlessly with flexible payroll schedules and single-click payroll
• 1099 forms, payslips, and taxes handled
• Fast payments in over 100 countries

What’s in the $100

• Work tracking and approvals
• Expenses
• Bonuses
• Global payment processing
• Automated 1099 taxation (US)

How it works: Contractors submit hours or invoices. Approvals route automatically. Expenses get filed and paid with receipts attached. Bonuses flow in seamlessly. Payouts travel through global rails with proof attached. For US contractors, 1099-NEC is auto-generated from the same dataset. No January archaeology.

Payroll on your schedule

Not every team works on the same rhythm. Flexhire supports weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly payroll.

• Weekly if speed matters
• Bi-weekly for the familiar “every other Friday”
• Semi-monthly to align with accounting closes
• Monthly if Finance sets the tempo

You can even mix: engineering bi-weekly, design monthly, finance semi-monthly. Same system, same exports.

Global rails that actually work

Money doesn’t move the same way everywhere. Flexhire lets you pay through Wise, Stripe, Payoneer, or crypto.

Send GBP via Faster Payments in the UK, EUR with SEPA in Germany, INR over UPI in India, BRL through Pix in Brazil, or use crypto where banks crawl. Whatever the corridor, every transfer comes with proof tied to the approved invoice.

How a pay cycle works

1. Intake – Contractors submit invoices and hours. Templates keep data clean.
2. Approvals – Managers approve; second approver if needed. Every action logged.
3. Payouts – Choose your rail, batch, hit pay. Proofs attach automatically.
4. Records – Finance exports one file with all references, memos, and proofs.
5. Year-end – For US contractors, 1099-NEC is generated instantly.

Global payroll realities you need to know

FX spreads and hidden costs

Headline fees can look cheap, but FX spreads silently eat 1–3% per payout. A $2,000 invoice routed wrong? That’s $20–60 lost. Flexhire lets you pick rails so you manage corridors, not guess them.

Country payment rails

ACH runs the US. SEPA rules Europe. Faster Payments clears UK transfers in minutes. India’s UPI and Brazil’s Pix process billions instantly. Every rail is different, but Flexhire normalizes them: one ledger, one export, all proofs attached.

Taxes and reporting by geography

US contractors need 1099-NEC. German freelancers issue VAT invoices. Brazil requires notas fiscais. Finance headaches come from mismatched fields, not big misses. Flexhire bakes the right forms into intake and keeps receipts linked.

Schedules and culture

Weekly pay wins hearts in engineering. Monthly is normal in Europe. Semi-monthly keeps accountants happy. Flexhire supports all four payroll schedules so you can balance culture with control.

Growth scenarios

Five contractors in two countries? Your bill: 5 × $100.

Forty in seven countries? Same math, just bigger volume.

Two hundred in fifteen countries? Flexhire’s exports, corridor testing, and approvals scale without changing the close.

How this works in practice

Imagine a 24-contractor team across five countries — United States (USD, ACH), United Kingdom (GBP, Faster Payments), Germany (EUR, SEPA), India (INR, UPI/bank transfer), and Brazil (BRL, Pix). Engineering runs bi-weekly; Design and Marketing run monthly. You group payouts by currency and require a two-step approval for anything above your set threshold.

• Invoices arrive on schedule with hours, expenses, and bonuses
• Approvals lock at 17:00 local time
• Payouts go out the next business day across Wise, Stripe, Payoneer, and one crypto rail
• Finance downloads one export with references and proofs
• Any bank change is logged inside the same transaction trail

Common questions about payroll services pricing

How much do payroll services cost globally in 2025?

Most services stack fees: per-contractor, per-payout, FX spreads. Flexhire charges $100 per active contractor per month, covering approvals, expenses, bonuses, payouts, and US tax forms.

What payment methods can I use for contractors?

Flexhire supports Wise, Stripe, Payoneer, and crypto. Mix rails by country. Finance still exports one clean ledger.

Can I set different payroll schedules by team?

Yes. Weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly. Teams can run at different pay cycles without breaking Finance exports.

Do payroll services handle taxes and year-end forms?

Yes. Flexhire prepares 1099-NEC for US contractors automatically and stores data for payslips and regional reporting elsewhere.

What’s the best way to budget global payroll?

Multiply active contractors by $100. Add a small buffer for FX depending on rails. Forecasting stays simple even as you scale.
