Get Paid On Time, Every Time.

Contractor payroll is the service of receiving and managing payments for independent professionals working across borders. It's used by contractors on fixed-term engagements, freelancers with multiple clients, and independent professionals moving between countries. Aspirock handles the contract setup, the payments, the tax work, and the ongoing compliance so the contractor can focus on the engagement.

Payment timing depends on the cadence agreed in your contract and the banking corridor between the paying entity and your receiving account. For most contractors, payments arrive within 1-3 business days of invoice approval. We agree your payment schedule upfront so you always know when funds are coming. Where your situation needs more frequent payments, we set that up at the start.

Aspirock operates across 70+ countries, covering payment origination from most major commercial markets. Funds can be received in all major currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SAR, and others. For contractors based in countries with limited banking infrastructure, we work out alternative payment routes during the initial conversation. The full corridor and currency picture is confirmed during onboarding.

Pricing depends on the contract structure, the payment frequency, the countries involved, and the currencies needed. Some contractors pay a fee per payment, others pay a percentage of contract value. There are no hidden fees and no setup charges. We share the exact figure for your situation during the initial discovery call so you know what you're committing to before signing.

Aspirock handles tax in the country where the payments are made and reports as required. We don't replace your personal tax position in your country of residence - you still file as required there. We provide the documentation you need for your own filings, and where your situation is complex we help arrange tax planning support. The goal is to make sure no tax obligation is missed and nothing comes as a surprise.

Tax residency is determined by where you live, where you work, and how long you spend in each country, not by which payroll provider you use. Aspirock won't change your tax residency. What we can do is structure your payments in a way that makes your residency position cleaner to manage. If you're moving between countries or have a complex residency picture, we'll flag the considerations during onboarding.

Yes. Aspirock supports crypto payments for contractors who want them, including major stablecoins and selected cryptocurrencies. Crypto is offered alongside conventional fiat options, so you can split your payments however suits you. We handle the conversion side and make sure the payment route is compliant with the applicable rules in your country of residence.

Yes. Aspirock supports contractors and freelancers with multiple clients running in parallel, including short engagements that only last a few weeks. We can handle invoicing and payment routing across several clients at once, with a single point of contact and a single account view. This works well for independent professionals who don't have one primary client.

Every contractor has a dedicated account manager who handles their account from onboarding through ongoing payments. You get a direct line and a direct email, not a ticket queue. For urgent issues there's 24/7 support coverage. For complex situations like tax planning or banking changes, your account manager pulls in the relevant specialists so you don't have to chase multiple contacts.

If a payment is delayed or there's a compliance issue, we flag it immediately, explain what's happened, and work on it without waiting for you to chase. Most issues resolve within hours. For anything more complex, your account manager owns the resolution and keeps you informed throughout. We track every issue so we can prevent it happening again.
