FAQs
No. Most teams run a mix โ Individual Contractor for established, lower-risk relationships, and Contractor of Record for roles where the classification line is less clear or the country carries more regulatory scrutiny. You can set this per contractor, not per account.
The name on the contract. Under Individual Contractor, you sign directly with the contractor and carry the classification call yourself. Under Contractor of Record, Aspire, powered by Deel, is the contracting party instead of you, which means an audit or dispute over classification lands with us.
Individual Contractor starts at USD $49 per contractor per month. Contractor of Record starts at USD $399 per contractor per month or 15% of salary โ whichever is higher. The exact rate moves with contract volume. Talk to us if you're planning a larger rollout.
You can migrate existing contractors to Aspire, though switching providers does require a new contractor agreement to be set up. Get in touch and the team can walk you through the process.
Classification gets checked against the rules of the contractor's specific country at the point you bring them on, not assumed from a template. If something about the engagement starts to look more like employment, that gets flagged before it becomes a regulatory problem rather than after.
Payments go out in the next payment run cycle, converted into the contractor's local currency at the point of payout โ no separate transfer needs to be initiated per contractor.
Moving a contractor to a full-time role requires a new contract to be set up โ it can't be converted directly. If you're looking to hire them full-time, Aspire EOR can get them employed in 150+ countries without a local entity.
Contractors have their own portal where they can view their earnings history, update their documents, and track what's been paid โ reducing back-and-forth with your team.
