Plane Overview

What is Plane?

Plane is a comprehensive payroll and HR solution that enables US-based companies to hire, onboard, and pay US and international employees and contractors. Our platform simplifies global payroll processes, ensuring that businesses can efficiently and compliantly manage their workforce across borders. With the ability to send payments to contractors in over 240 countries at optimal exchange rates, Plane ensures that international contractors receive a payroll experience comparable to that of US employees. Contractors are paid directly to their bank accounts, eliminating the need for e-wallets and associated withdrawal fees. For companies considering hiring full-time employees, Plane offers a seamless Employer of Record (EOR) solution. Hire employees in more than 100 countries without having to set up your own local entities. Plane takes care of essential employment paperwork, tax withholding, and compliance requirements, allowing companies to focus on their core operations. The transparent pricing model, featuring a flat monthly fee with no startup, cancellation, or hidden costs, further distinguishes Plane from many EOR services. Plane also supports payroll and HR for US (W2) employees. With Unified Payroll, use one platform to hire and pay your entire global team — employees and contractors, in the US and worldwide. One of the standout features of Plane is its dual support for both employee and contractor hiring. Plane has fully supported both options from day one. Our expert team is available to provide guidance on whether to classify a new hire as an employee or a contractor, ensuring that businesses make informed decisions without any bias or hidden agendas. Plane’s world-class support team also provides direct customer support to your contractors and employees, so that you don’t have to act as a go-between. In summary, Plane is designed to simplify the complexities of payroll, HR, and compliance for US-based companies operating in a global market. By offering a secure, user-friendly platform that supports both contractors and employees, Plane addresses the diverse needs of modern businesses while maintaining a focus on efficiency.

Our customer support team answers questions from your contractors and employees directly, so you don’t have to be a go-between.

Plane has fully supported hiring both employees and contractors from day one. This enables our team to give unbiased advice on worker classification.

Security and compliance are taken very seriously at Plane. Plane is money transfer compliant in all 50 US states.

Plane strongly believes your international team members should have the same payments experience as that of your US team.

Plane sends funds in your company's name, and the funds never touch Plane's corporate accounts. This means your funds remain yours, until your contractors receive them.
