Zero-deposit Employer of Record
Dataset as of August 2026 · Independent procurement analysis
I would pick Remote. It lists 0 months of deposit and a $599 seat. Deel lists the same seat and 1 to 1.5 months. The question on this page is the cash locked before the first payroll, not the lowest seat.
Deposit and seat
| Vendor | Deposit | EOR from |
|---|---|---|
| Remote | 0 months | $599 |
| Multiplier | 1 month | $459 |
| Deel | 1 to 1.5 months | $599 |
| Rippling | 1 to 2 months | from $499 |
| Oyster Global | 2 months | $699 |
Rippling also lists an $8 platform fee. Confirm that 0 months applies to this company and this hire country.
What zero deposit changes
Remote lists the same $599 seat as Deel, without the upfront reserve. On a hire whose monthly employment cost is $8,000, one month locked is $8,000. That figure is an example, not a listed deposit. Multiplier lists about 1 month. Deel lists 1 to 1.5 months. Rippling lists 1 to 2 months. Oyster Global lists 2 months. Five hires at that example cost is $40,000 before the first payroll if the deposit is one month. Remote lists none of that lockup.
What the quote should name
- Whether 0 months applies to this company and this hire country.
- Whether any country still requires a local float or statutory pre-funding.
- Whether a raise, or a later change in pay, can create a deposit.
- Whether notice, unused leave, or statutory severance is invoiced at termination, since no reserve is already held.

Frequently asked questions
Can zero deposit be withdrawn after we sign?
That is not published. Ask whether 0 months is a credit approval for this company, whether a missed invoice, a new country, or a raise can put a deposit back on the contract, and whether that change needs written notice.
If we terminate with no reserve held, when do notice and severance hit cash?
Those amounts are not listed as prepaid. Confirm the invoice date for notice, unused leave, and statutory severance, and whether payroll must be funded before the last day. With no deposit already at the vendor, that invoice is new cash, not a release of money already locked.
Does the first invoice still collect salary before the person is paid?
Zero deposit is not the same as paying payroll in arrears. Confirm whether the seat, the first salary, and statutory employer costs are billed before, on, or after the local pay date.
Is there an amount collected up front that is not called a deposit?
None is listed. Ask for any setup amount, last-month hold, or offboarding fee collected before the first payroll or held until the person leaves. If it sits with the vendor, it is locked cash under another name.
