How does ontop handle my remote team payments?

They have these questions because of the fear of messing up and having to give up their international dream team. There are qualified workers all over the globe but with quality international people, comes its regulamentations and laws for each country. So many times a company simply doesn't know where to start from. First of all, if you end up messing up on the regulations things can get messy, so you might be looking in the wrong places to manage your hiring and following up process.

How many days does it take from payment to contractors?

First, we identify the date of the contractor payroll payment, for example, all the first of each month, then between 10 to 7 days before the invoice will appear to you and in the same platform you can make the payment through the ACH (bank transfer) this normally takes 3 to 5 days to activate, and then, for example, Payoneer takes 3 days so we send the money to the contractors 3 days before the 1st so the contractor will receive the money the exact day you choose to be paid.
