Questions Teams Usually Ask Before Moving Contractor Operations to Selfwork
Large payroll and HR platforms are powerful, but they are often built for companies with full HR departments, predictable headcount, and complex enterprise processes.
Selfwork is built for companies that work with international contractors and need a cleaner way to manage agreements, invoices, approvals, payouts, and records — without adding unnecessary operational weight.
You get one contractor workflow: onboard the contractor, document the relationship, approve the work, and send the payout.

Client funds are held in segregated accounts, in our case with a major Swiss financial institution, PostFinance, separately from the company’s operating funds.
Our model, at 3–5.5%, is more cost-effective for companies where contractor payouts are below $6,000 per contractor per month. For example, if you have 10 contractors earning $2,000 each, you would pay us approximately $700-1,100, while competitors charging a fixed fee of $325 per contractor would charge $3,250.
SEPA payouts take 1 business day, SWIFT payouts take 1-3 business days, and stablecoin payouts in USDT/USDC are processed within minutes. We define these timelines in our SLA and take responsibility for meeting them.
We guarantee a response from a real human, not a bot, within one hour, while clients of larger platforms often wait several days or even weeks for a response. This is critical in payroll, where any payment delay creates stress for employees and contractors.
Working with a Swiss structure as a Contractor-of-Record (CoR) provides an additional layer of protection against misclassification, since Swiss jurisdiction is not directly connected to US employment law. This helps reduce the risk of contractors being reclassified as employees. In addition, Switzerland has a strong financial reputation and political stability, making it a reliable partner for finance directors.
The United States and Switzerland have had a tax treaty in place since 1996. Under this treaty, when a W-8BEN-E form is provided, the withholding tax rate on business profits and royalties is 0%. We provide each client with a full documentation package, which removes the need for you to calculate and withhold this tax.
