Average tool, very good service!

What did you like?

- 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.

What did you not like?

- 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.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

- 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.

Überzeugend aus beiden Perspektiven: als Employer und als Talent

What did you like?

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.

What did you not like?

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.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

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.

Perfektes Tool für das Employee-Self-Service im globalen Remote-Work!

What did you like?

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.

What did you not like?

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.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

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!

Reibungsloser Ablauf & Support

What did you like?

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!

What did you not like?

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.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

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.

Connect us from abroad

What did you like?

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.

What did you not like?

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.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

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.

Efficient solution with WorkMotion

What did you like?

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.

What did you not like?

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.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

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.

WorkMotion makes global onboarding and remote HR simple

What did you like?

The UI is very clean and intuitive for global onboarding. Support is highly responsive when answering contract questions. I also appreciate the new AI intelligence tools that help clarify local compliance rules quickly.

What did you not like?

The platform's performance can occasionally lag during peak payroll days. While it saves time, the pricing and ROI for smaller teams feels steep, and navigating complex integrations with custom internal tools is tricky.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

It simplifies remote employment compliance. By handling administrative tasks automatically, our engineering team can stay strictly focused on application performance monitoring and infrastructure observability pipelines.

Incredible support & great seamless onboarding

What did you like?

The onboarding has been nothing but phenomenal so far, with very quick replies and solutions. The UI of the platform is intiuitive and easy to learn and integrate. It's very quick to set up new talents and have them working for us. They are very caring in the support and make sure the onboarding is very clear to both employer and talent.

What did you not like?

So far there were no downsides with them. We're still implementing and the talent will start working for us in the next 2 weeks, so we're eager to see how the full set up will work.

Great onboarding and personal support

What did you like?

I had a really good onboarding experience with WorkMotion. The info sessions and guides were helpful, and the platform itself was easy to navigate and well organized. What I appreciated most, though, was the personal support from my contact person. They regularly checked in with me, kept me updated, and helped me navigate each step of the process. My case involved a lot of back and forth, but everything was handled in a very constructive and solution-oriented way.

What did you not like?

A clearer overview of outstanding documents outside the chat would be helpful. We also would have appreciated more transparency regarding changes to contractual matters.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

WorkMotion allows me to continue working for the same company after moving to another country, making the transition much easier.

Efficient, Reliable, and Easy-to-Use Ticketing System

What did you like?

WorkMotion's ticketing system has been exceptional. It is user-friendly, highly effective, and provides timely reminders that help keep tasks moving and prevent unnecessary delays. The overall user experience is smooth and intuitive.

What did you not like?

While the platform's visual design could be further enhanced, it remains a very reliable and efficient tool to work with.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

WorkMotion helps us hire and manage employees internationally while ensuring local compliance. This saves us time, reduces administrative effort, and gives us confidence that we are meeting local employment requirements.

Easy Handling, guter Support

What did you like?

Workmotion hat sich über die Jahre sehr weiterentwickelt. Es gibt sehr viele Self-Service Tools (AI), um sich über eine Anstellung im Ausland zu informieren. Das Onboarding von neuen Mitarbeitern ist einfach und der Support ist jederzeit verfügbar und unterstützt v.a. in den arbeitsrechtlich sehr länderspezifischen Themen hervorragend.

What did you not like?

Die Verifizierung bei jedem Login per gesendetem Code - da könnte man sicherlich auch eine andere Lösung finden.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Mitarbeiter die in anderen Ländern arbeiten werden über Workmotion EOR angestellt.

Intuitives Tool mit erstklassigem Kundenservice

What did you like?

Ich arbeite seit sechs Monaten mit WorkMotion und bin sehr zufrieden. Die Plattform ist sehr benutzerfreundlich und macht es mir leicht, meine Daten, Kontaktdaten, Arbeitsverträge und mehr zu bearbeiten und zu aktualisieren. Ich kann auch problemlos auf alle meine Lohnabrechnungen zugreifen, und das Übermitteln meiner Arbeitszeiten dauert nur zwei Klicks, was besonders hilfreich ist, wenn ich viele Tage hintereinander eingeben muss. Ich hatte einmal ein Problem mit meiner Krankenversicherung, und der Support von WorkMotion war extrem schnell und hilfreich. Ein besonderer Dank geht an die Support-Analystin: Sie war sehr freundlich und hat hervorragende Unterstützung geleistet. Sie hat sich direkt mit der Versicherung in Verbindung gesetzt, alles in ihrer Macht Stehende getan, um zu helfen, und ist sogar noch einen Schritt weiter gegangen, indem sie mir klare, präzise Anweisungen für das weitere Vorgehen gegeben hat, damit das Problem so schnell wie möglich gelöst werden konnte. Ich war wirklich beeindruckt, und das Ergebnis hat mich noch glücklicher und zufriedener mit dem Support gemacht.

What did you not like?

Der einzige Nachteil, den ich erwähnen kann – und das meine ich als konstruktives Feedback –, ist, dass Überstunden beim Erfassen meiner Arbeitszeiten nicht berücksichtigt werden. Jeden Monat muss ich mich an meinen Vorgesetzten wenden, um sicherzustellen, dass sie korrekt ausgezahlt werden. Abgesehen davon habe ich absolut nichts zu bemängeln und kann WorkMotion sehr empfehlen.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Mit WorkMotion kann ich meine vertraglichen und persönlichen Daten sowie Arbeitsverträge zentral und unkompliziert an einem Ort verwalten und aktualisieren. Die Plattform ermöglicht mir einen schnellen und problemlosen Zugriff auf meine Lohnabrechnungen sowie eine extrem einfache Zeiterfassung mit nur zwei Klicks. Zudem löst der Support auftretende Probleme – wie etwa mit der Krankenversicherung – sehr schnell, kompetent und mit klaren Handlungsanweisungen.

experiance working for remote company with payroll handled by workmotion

What did you like?

My company is based outside India, and WorkMotion makes it possible for them to employ me here as a full-time, permanent employee without setting up a local entity. They handle the things that would otherwise be complicated: monthly payroll, tax deductions, PF and other statutory compliance, and the employment paperwork. For me, that means I get paid correctly and on time every month, and I don’t have to worry about whether my taxes or contributions are being handled properly. When I do have a question, I can raise a ticket in a couple of minutes and usually get a quick response and a fast fix. The dashboard keeps everything in one place, so finding a payslip or document takes seconds.

What did you not like?

1. The tax benefits that are given by the workmtion could be better . 2. also there should be complementary health insurance benifits

Which problems are you solving with the product?

WorkMotion solves the challenge of being employed full-time in India by a company based abroad. My employer doesn’t need its own entity in India, because WorkMotion takes care of payroll, tax deductions, PF and other statutory compliance, and my employment contract and documents. The main advantages for me: Reliable payroll: My salary is paid correctly and on time every month, with taxes and contributions handled properly. Easy support: Opening a ticket is quick and simple, and the team responds fast. Fast resolution: Issues get fixed quickly, usually without back-and-forth. Good dashboard: Payslips, documents and requests are all in one place and easy to find.

Effective UI & excellent support

What did you like?

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.

What did you not like?

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.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

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.
