WorkMotion

- Response time is the thing I notice most. Every request I've raised has come back within the promised window, and in practice usually faster. A recent example: Latvian law requires a mandatory occupational health check every three years, it's a paid service, and I had no idea how reimbursement worked. I asked and had every answer inside one working day, did the check, and got written confirmation the cost is covered. - They own the local legal complexity instead of handing it back to me. Occupational safety paperwork, health checks, expense rules — the team knows the Latvian specifics and answers from that knowledge. I've never had to research a local requirement myself and then explain it to my own provider, which is not something I could say about my previous setup. - They took responsibility for problems they inherited. When my contract moved over to a direct WorkMotion arrangement, there were unresolved items left from the previous structure. WorkMotion picked them up and covered them at their own expense, without me having to chase or escalate anything.

- The platform itself is the weakest part of the product. It's functional and does what it must — payslips, requests, documents — but the interface feels unfinished in places and there's clearly room to develop it further. It has never blocked me, but it isn't why I'd recommend the service. - Country-specific rules aren't documented anywhere I can read them. Every local question starts with a ticket, and while the answers are fast and correct, the knowledge lives with the agents rather than in the product. A short Latvia-specific knowledge base covering health checks, reimbursements and safety requirements would remove most of my requests entirely. - Less common cases don't have a defined procedure. I hit one where the obligation itself was confirmed in writing, but there was no internal process and no stated limit for it, so it turned into a back-and-forth about expected costs before anything could move. For routine things the process is clear; for edge cases it depends on who you ask and how you ask.

- It makes a cross-border role legally possible at all. The company I work for is based in Germany and has no entity in Latvia, and opening a branch here for a single engineer was never realistic. WorkMotion is the structure that lets me be employed locally under a normal Latvian contract while working for a German employer — without it this position simply wouldn't exist in this form. - It keeps me on employee status rather than a contractor workaround. Paid leave, sick leave, state social insurance and pension contributions all accrue the way they would in any ordinary local job. Most cross-border arrangements I've seen quietly trade those away for invoicing convenience, and that trade lands entirely on the person, not the company. - It removes statutory obligations from my desk. Payroll, tax withholding, occupational safety registration, mandatory health checks — all of it is somebody's actual job rather than something I have to track and remember. I get told what's required and when, which is the difference between compliance being handled and compliance being my hobby.

Als Employer of Record haben wir bereits zwei Talente über WorkMotion angestellt. Das Onboarding war in beiden Fällen schnell abgeschlossen, ohne Verzögerungen oder Rückfragen auf unserer Seite. Auch die administrative Umsetzung des gesamten Anstellungsprozesses gestaltete sich unkompliziert. Zusätzlich nutze ich WorkMotion selbst als Talent, da ich seit Kurzem in Spanien darüber angestellt bin. Aus dieser Perspektive läuft der Prozess sogar noch reibungsloser. Ich habe eine feste Ansprechpartnerin, die sich kontinuierlich um meine Anliegen kümmert und Anfragen sehr schnell beantwortet.

Da wir die Plattform als Employer erst seit rund zwei Monaten und ich persönlich als Talent erst seit zwei bis drei Wochen nutze, ist die Erfahrungsbasis noch entsprechend kurz. In dieser Zeit ist uns bislang kein substanzieller Kritikpunkt aufgefallen. Der einzige Punkt mit Verbesserungspotenzial ist das Fehlen einer Schnittstelle zu unserem HR System, wodurch Urlaubstage aktuell doppelt gepflegt werden müssen, einmal in WorkMotion und einmal im eigenen System.

Als Employer of Record ermöglicht uns WorkMotion, Talente international anzustellen, ohne den administrativen Anstellungsprozess selbst abbilden zu müssen. Bei beiden bisherigen Fällen liefen Onboarding und Vertragsabwicklung schnell und unkompliziert. Als Talent löst WorkMotion für mich das Problem, in Spanien angestellt zu sein, ohne mich selbst um die lokale arbeitsrechtliche Abwicklung kümmern zu müssen. Der Prozess von der Einstellung bis zum laufenden Betrieb war spürbar einfacher, als ich es erwartet hatte. Den größten Vorteil sehe ich in der festen Ansprechpartnerin, die sich kontinuierlich und schnell um Anliegen kümmert, das gibt sowohl auf Employer als auch auf Talent-Seite Sicherheit im Prozess.

Ich bin über WorkMotion bei meinem deutschen Arbeitgeber angestellt und nutze die Plattform daher regelmäßig aus Employee-Sicht. Das Portal ist extrem übersichtlich und modern gestaltet. Das Einreichen von Spesen (Expenses) und das Verwalten von Dokumenten wie den monatlichen Gehaltsabrechnungen funktioniert absolut intuitiv und blitzschnell. Auch das anfängliche Onboarding lief komplett digital und ohne Medienbrüche ab. Der Support reagiert bei Fragen zu lokalen Verträgen extrem schnell und kompetent.

Die Benachrichtigungen laufen aktuell primär über E-Mail (z. B. wenn eine neue Gehaltsabrechnung da ist). Hier würde ich mir für die Zukunft eine direkte Integration in Tools wie Slack oder Microsoft Teams wünschen, damit man den Status direkt im täglichen Workspace sieht.

WorkMotion löst das Problem von bürokratischen und rechtlichen Hürden bei der internationalen Remote-Arbeit. Für mich als Angestellter bedeutet das: Ich kann völlig sorgenfrei und rechtssicher für ein tolles Unternehmen wie trbo arbeiten, während im Hintergrund mein lokaler Arbeitsvertrag, die Steuern und die Sozialabgaben perfekt und pünktlich geregelt werden. Absoluter Gamechanger für die Work-Life-Balance!

Meine Erfahrung mit WorkMotion war durchweg sehr positiv. Das Onboarding verlief reibungslos, und ich habe mich während des gesamten Prozesses gut unterstützt gefühlt. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich den Kundenservice – schnelle Reaktionszeiten, freundlich und immer hilfsbereit bei Fragen. Die Plattform ist intuitiv aufgebaut, sodass Dinge wie Gehaltsabrechnungen und Dokumente leicht zugänglich sind. Absolut empfehlenswert!

habe nichts zu sagen. Alles is super .Aktuell habe ich keine Kritikpunkte. Kleinere Verbesserungen sind eher organisatorischer Natur und haben keinen Einfluss auf meine insgesamt sehr positive Erfahrung mit WorkMotion.

Der größte Vorteil für mich ist die Sicherheit und Transparenz: Das Onboarding lief reibungslos, Gehaltsabrechnungen sind übersichtlich und pünktlich, und alle relevanten Dokumente sind jederzeit über die Plattform verfügbar. Besonders positiv ist auch der Support – bei Fragen bekommt man schnell kompetente und freundliche Hilfe.

What I love most about WorkMotion is the freedom it gives me to work for companies from abroad, no matter where I am in the world. I didn’t have to relocate or deal with complicated legal paperwork—WorkMotion handled everything, from my contract to compliance with local labor laws. Getting paid in my local currency, with full benefits and security, gives me peace of mind. The process was smooth, and support was always there when I had questions. Thanks to WorkMotion, I get to work remotely for an amazing company while staying in the country I call home.

If I had to point out a downside, it would be that some processes, like contract approvals or payroll adjustments, can take longer than expected due to local compliance regulations. While WorkMotion handles everything smoothly, there are occasional delays that can be frustrating, especially when waiting for salary payments or document updates. Also, since everything is done through a third party, communication between my employer and WorkMotion isn’t always seamless, which can create some back-and-forth. That said, their support team is helpful, and once things are set up, it’s mostly a hassle-free experience.

WorkMotion has been a game-changer for me. The biggest benefit is that I get to work for an international company without needing to relocate or worry about visa issues. They handle all the legal and compliance aspects, ensuring that my contract aligns with local labor laws, which gives me job security and peace of mind. I also get paid in my local currency with proper benefits like health insurance and paid leave—something that’s often tricky when working remotely for a foreign company. Plus, taxes and social security contributions are handled correctly, so I don’t have to stress about paperwork.

As an employee hired through WorkMotion, I particularly appreciate the transparency and professionalism of the process. Everything went smoothly – from the contract, which complies with local labor laws, to the clear information about salary, taxes, and benefits. Additionally, I feel like I'm part of a global team without having to worry about complicated formalities. WorkMotion ensures that I can fully focus on my work.

A potential drawback for companies is the initial complexity of managing legal and tax requirements across different countries. While WorkMotion simplifies this process, it may still seem a bit overwhelming at first. However, once set up, it ensures everything is handled smoothly and in compliance with local regulations.

WorkMotion solves the challenge of managing complex legal, tax, and compliance requirements when hiring remote employees globally. By using WorkMotion, companies no longer need to navigate the complexities of different local laws and bureaucratic hurdles. The platform streamlines the entire hiring process, ensuring compliance and handling all administrative tasks. The benefit I’ve realized is that I can focus on my work without worrying about legal issues or paperwork. For companies, it saves time and resources while enabling them to build and manage a diverse, global team with ease.

The UI is simple and effective. I have also received excellent support with even very complicated topics. All in all, a very positive experience that has given me stability by allowing me to keep working for my company even after moving abroad.

Some of the features of the platform are not yet designed to take into account country-specific systems, e.g., differences in how PTO is accumulated and deducted in different countries. To my knowledge, this is being worked on.

WorkMotion has given me stability by allowing me to keep working for my company after moving abroad. This included support in moving from one country's system to another, the problems of which WorkMotion has solved well.

the software's ease of use and the quality of service, Customer service support is excellent, and the feedback is comprehensive and accurate. The website is user-friendly, clear, and has an appealing user interface.

The only challenge I have had is a slight delay in receiving feedback at times.

They helped me during the onboarding process, guided me through the documentation I needed to provide, and gave me advice.

- A dedicated onboarding contact who replies quickly and proactively - A clear process: data entry on the platform, contract draft for review, e-signature via DocuSign - Good knowledge of French specifics (portage salarial, France Travail paperwork) - Clean platform with a ticket system that keeps every exchange in one place

- Some steps depend on the client company's signature, which can add a few days - It's too early for me to rate payroll and expense handling

WorkMotion lets me work from France for a company based in Germany that has no French entity. They act as my employer of record, which handles the French contract, compliance and admin side, so neither I nor my employer has to set any of that up. The benefits so far are speed and less admin hassle. My contract was drafted, reviewed and signed within a few days, and the team took care of French specifics I'd otherwise have had to sort out myself, such as how the portage salarial reserve is paid and an employer form for France Travail, which they returned the same day. Payroll hasn't started yet, so for now I can only speak to onboarding.

The staff were so friendly and helpful when I was pregnant and needed to send through paperwork for mat leave and apply for maternity pay. It was easy to work with them and they helped manage everything smoothly.

Everything has been really positive so far. There has been nothing that has caused me any issues.

Applying for maternity leave and statutory pay via HMRC was really smooth as the team have been so friendly and happy to help and answer any questions. Any leave applications and updates of passports have been really easy and the staff have always been super professional and efficient.

WorkMotion nimmt uns den enormen administrativen Aufwand ab, der normalerweise mit internationalen Einstellungen und der Gehaltsabrechnung verbunden ist. Zudem schätzen wir die hohe rechtliche Sicherheit, da die Plattform die lokale Compliance in den jeweiligen Ländern zuverlässig als Employer of Record gewährleistet. Darüber hinaus ist die Benutzeroberfläche sehr übersichtlich gestaltet, was die Einarbeitung neuer HR-Mitarbeiter und das Management der globalen Teams deutlich beschleunigt.

Ein Aspekt mit Verbesserungspotenzial ist die Transparenz der Preisstruktur bei speziellen Zusatzleistungen, die manchmal nicht auf Anhieb zu durchschauen ist. Zudem könnte der Customer Support bei sehr komplexen, länderspezifischen Detailfragen zur Gesetzgebung noch etwas schneller mit einer finalen Lösung reagieren. Schließlich wäre es wünschenswert, wenn es mehr individuelle Anpassungsmöglichkeiten für das Dashboard gäbe, um die für unser Unternehmen wichtigsten Metriken direkt auf einen Blick zu sehen.

WorkMotion löst für uns das grundlegende Problem, lokale Tochtergesellschaften in neuen Märkten gründen zu müssen, da sie als zuverlässiger Employer of Record die volle rechtliche Verantwortung übernehmen. Ein weiterer großer Vorteil ist der reibungslose Onboarding-Prozess, der es uns ermöglicht, globale Top-Talente ohne monatelange bürokratische Verzögerungen effizient einzustellen. Schließlich wird der komplexe Prozess der internationalen Gehaltsabrechnung zentral über die Plattform abgewickelt, was unsere interne Personalabteilung massiv entlastet und zeitintensive Fehlerquellen minimiert.

They provide rapid ticket response and helpful resolutions. There is easy flexibility in using as much or as little of their services as you need - from full named employer services to just a payroll provider, which is the service I use.

Documentation targeting other usage packages can be confusing at times (only using for payroll). Have had no other significant issues so far.

Used as a payroll provider for alternative countries by my company which is based in Germany. I am an employee in the UK, and our previous provider no longer worked for the company. Getting started using the new system was quick and easy and has led to no further issues in payroll services.

Easy process and good support team. I can access all the details in portal and track my expenses and PTO. Onboarding documentation porcess also completed within 3 days.

I don’t have any problem so far. Onboaring process was so smooth and easy. One suggestion, they can maintain a catelog kind of to do everything in portal.

Workmotion handles my payroll every month. The entire process is effortless and organized.And quick support has been provided

Everything is clear and visible on the platform, from my contract to my documents. The hiring process was smooth and easy, with no problems at all.

Nothing so far. The process has been smooth and I haven't had any problems with the platform."

WorkMotion takes care of the legal and admin side of my employment: contract, payroll and compliance. I don't have to deal with any of that, and I can see everything on the platform.

I’ve been employed through WorkMotion for just over a year now and my experience has been very positive. The whole process has been straightforward and, importantly, I rarely have to think about the fact that my employment is being managed through a third party.

To be honest, it’s all good. Onboarding was smooth, salary and expenses have always been handled reliably, and the platform makes it easy to access the information and documents I need. On the occasions I’ve needed support, the team has been responsive and helpful.

For me, the best thing about WorkMotion is simply that it works in the background. It allows me to work for an international company without the employment arrangements feeling complicated or getting in the way of my actual job.
