Contract Management is for paying true independent contractors anywhere. You own the relationship; we provide the contracts, the tax-form workflow and the payout rails.
6 questions
The basics
How much does Contract Management cost? +
Contract Management is $49 per contractor per month, dropping to $39 at 6 or more and $29 at 16 or more, cancel anytime. The fee covers the contract lifecycle (country-aware SOW, MSA, NDA and DPA templates, KYC and the compliance questionnaire), tax-form collection (W-9 for US contractors, W-8BEN for foreign individuals, W-8BEN-E for foreign entities) and the payment workflow. Payment-rail fees pass through at cost with no Omnivoo markup. See the pricing page at /pricing and the Contract Management product page at /solutions/contract-management for the full feature list.
Which countries can I pay contractors in? +
220+ countries and territories with local-currency settlement. Common destinations include India, the Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Ukraine, Poland, the UK, Germany, Canada and Spain. If your contractor is in a country not yet on the list, email us at contact@omnivoo.com and we will confirm coverage.
When should I use Contract Management vs EOR? +
Use Contract Management when the worker is a true contractor under the IRS common-law test and DOL economic-reality test, meaning independence, multiple clients, project-based work and control over how the work is done. Use EOR when the worker is effectively an employee (full-time, exclusive, integrated into your team, performing core business activities) and you need statutory benefits, payroll and compliant termination. EOR is India-only from $99 per employee per month. Start with the Misclassification Risk Self-Check at /tools/misclassification-risk-self-check, or read the contractor vs employee 2026 guide at /blog/contractor-vs-employee-2026-us-guide.
How does my contractor actually get paid? +
They choose the method. Bank transfer, ACH, SWIFT, proxy, card, wallet, mobile money and crypto are all live. See the Payouts section on this page, or the full breakdown at /solutions/payouts.
US tax and paperwork
Does Omnivoo handle US tax withholding and treaty rates for foreign contractors? +
Yes. We collect Form W-8BEN (foreign individuals) or W-8BEN-E (foreign entities) before the first payment, classify income as FDAP or ECI per IRS guidance, apply the correct withholding rate (default 30 percent under chapter 3, or a reduced treaty rate when documentation is valid) and produce the per-recipient information return for the year. Deep dives are in the US Payer Withholding hub at /us-withholding/, the NRA withholding agent obligations page at /us-withholding/nra-withholding-agent-obligations, and the 1042 vs 1042-S filing guide at /us-withholding/1042-vs-1042-s-filing-guide.
Where do I find the tax-treaty rate for a contractor's country? +
The full verified matrix is at /us-withholding/treaty-rates-by-country with a downloadable CSV. It lists the reduced withholding rate that applies to US-source income paid to a resident of each treaty country, which is what you apply once a valid W-8BEN is on file.
EOR is India-only. We become the legal employer through our own Indian entity, so you can hire full-time staff without setting up a company, and we carry payroll, statutory compliance and the legal risk.
18 questions
Getting started
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)? +
An EOR is a company that legally employs workers on your behalf in a country where you don't have your own business entity. Omnivoo acts as the legal employer for your India-based team members. They work for you day-to-day, but we handle all the legal employment, payroll, taxes and compliance.
How is Omnivoo different from other EOR providers? +
Most EOR platforms cover many countries using the same templates for every market. Omnivoo is built exclusively for India. Our system understands the specific compliance rules for each of India's 28 states, generates state-specific contracts and monitors regulatory changes. We also charge a flat 0.4% transaction fee on currency disbursement, versus 3-5% margins commonly buried in the exchange rate elsewhere.
Do I need to set up a company in India? +
No. Your employees are legally employed through our Indian entity, Dynalize Technologies Pvt Ltd. You don't need to incorporate in India, appoint a resident director, or manage any Indian registrations yourself.
How long does it take to hire my first employee? +
About 5 business days from the time you provide the employee's details. We generate the employment contract, complete all government registrations (PF, ESI, Shops & Establishment), configure payroll and have them officially onboarded.
Which Indian states does Omnivoo cover, and what do I need to start? +
Each state has different rules for Professional Tax slabs, Shops & Establishment requirements and Labour Welfare Fund contributions, and our system handles whichever state your employee is in. To get started we need the employee's full name, role, work location (state) and agreed CTC. We handle contract drafting, government registrations and payroll setup from there.
Payroll
How does monthly payroll work? +
Each month we calculate gross-to-net pay for every employee based on their state's tax rules, including PF and ESI contributions, TDS (income tax), Professional Tax and any other applicable deductions. Employees receive payslips and are paid on the scheduled date.
What currency do I pay in, and what is the fee? +
You pay Omnivoo in USD. We disburse INR to your employees' bank accounts and add a flat 0.4% transaction fee on the disbursement, locked at the time of payroll processing and visible in your dashboard. Employee salaries and statutory contributions are pass-through costs that we don't mark up.
When do employees get paid? +
Payroll runs on a fixed monthly schedule you choose during onboarding. Most companies pick the last working day of the month or the first of the following month. Employees are paid via direct bank transfer into their Indian bank account.
What is CTC, and do employees get payslips and Form 16? +
CTC (Cost to Company) is the total annual cost of employing someone: base salary, employer PF and ESI contributions, gratuity and allowances. Take-home pay is lower than CTC because it includes employer-side costs and tax deductions, and we provide a full breakdown before you confirm a hire. Every employee gets a detailed monthly payslip, and at financial year-end (March) we generate Form 16, the annual tax certificate needed for filing returns.
Compliance and legal
What are PF, ESI, and TDS? +
PF (Provident Fund) is a retirement savings scheme where both employer and employee contribute 12% of basic salary. ESI (Employee State Insurance) provides medical and disability benefits for employees earning below ₹21,000/month. TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is income tax withheld from salary before payment. Omnivoo calculates, deposits and files all three every month.
What is Professional Tax, and what is Shops & Establishment registration? +
Professional Tax is a state-level tax on employment income, with rates and slabs that vary by state (Maharashtra charges up to ₹2,500/year; some states don't levy it at all). Shops & Establishment is a state-level registration every employer must obtain in each state where they have employees, covering working hours, leave and employment conditions. We handle registration, deduction and renewals based on the employee's work location.
What happens when Indian labour law changes? +
We monitor government gazettes and regulatory announcements continuously. When laws change, we update contracts, payroll calculations and filing procedures before your next payroll run, and notify you explaining what changed and how it affects your team.
Who carries the legal risk? +
Omnivoo does. As the legal employer of record, compliance liability sits with us. If there's a filing error or missed registration, it's our responsibility to fix it. Your employees are employed by Dynalize Technologies Pvt Ltd (our Indian entity), and all statutory obligations are in our name.
Pricing and billing
How much does EOR cost? +
Monthly per-employee fees start at $99 and vary with the employee's CTC and your team size. Teams of 10-24 get up to 20% off and 25+ get up to 40% off, down to $59 at volume. The fee covers contracts, payroll, all tax filings (PF, ESI, TDS, Professional Tax), compliance monitoring and support. There is a $0 setup fee; the only add-on is the flat 0.4% disbursement fee.
Are there setup or onboarding fees, and can I cancel anytime? +
There is no setup or onboarding fee, and no minimum contract length. The monthly per-employee fee covers everything, and salaries and statutory contributions are pass-through costs we don't mark up. You can offboard employees at any time, subject to standard Indian labour-law notice periods (typically 1-3 months depending on the contract), which we help you navigate.
Do you offer annual billing and volume discounts? +
Yes. Annual billing saves 15% versus monthly. Volume pricing adjusts automatically: 1-9 employees is the base rate, 10-24 gets about 13% off per employee, and 25+ gets about 27% off or a custom plan with dedicated support. We also offer partner discounts for VC firms and accelerators.
Data and security
How does Omnivoo protect employee data, and where is it stored? +
We follow India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. Employee personal information is encrypted at rest and in transit, access is role-restricted, and we keep audit logs of all data access. Data is held on secure cloud infrastructure that complies with international security standards, and statutory documents are retained per Indian record-keeping requirements. We do not share employee data with third parties except as required for statutory filings with Indian government authorities.
Can employees access their own information? +
Yes. Employees can view payslips, tax documents, leave balances and employment details through the self-service portal, and download Form 16 and other tax certificates directly.
Eight payout methods, all live across 220+ countries and territories. The contractor picks how the money reaches them; the exact fee and arrival date are shown before every withdrawal.
6 questions
The methods
What are the eight payout methods? +
Bank transfer (local rails, in the contractor's own currency), ACH (US domestic), SWIFT (USD or EUR wire, reaching 180+ countries), proxy (pay to an ID like a Pix key in Brazil), card, wallet (instant transfers between Omnivoo wallets), mobile money (M-Pesa, MTN and GCash) and crypto (BTC, USDC and ETH). All eight are live. The full breakdown, method by method, is at /solutions/payouts.
Do I need a bank account to get paid? +
Not necessarily. Mobile money pays to a phone number and crypto pays to a wallet address you control, both aimed at exactly this situation. In Brazil you can also be paid to a Pix key without entering account details, even though the money lands in a bank.
Can I split a payout across several methods? +
Yes. A balance does not have to leave by one route. Send part to your bank and the rest to a card, a wallet or crypto, and change the mix whenever you like. Each part is priced on its own method.
Fees, speed and coverage
What does a payout cost? +
The bank or network cost for the method you choose passes through at cost, with no markup from us. That cost is set per corridor, so it varies by country, currency and method, and some corridors carry no transfer fee at all. Currency conversion uses a rate that is locked and shown before you confirm. Our own contractor pricing is published at /pricing.
How fast does each method land? +
There is no single number, because delivery times are set per corridor and quoted in business days. You see the estimated arrival date for your own withdrawal before you confirm it. As a rule of shape: proxy rails like Pix are instant, wallet transfers between Omnivoo accounts are immediate, local bank transfers take a day or two in most corridors, and SWIFT is the slowest because it passes through correspondent banks.
Which countries are covered? +
Local bank rails reach 100+ countries in local currency and SWIFT reaches 180+ in USD and EUR, for 220+ countries and territories supported in total. Check your own country on the coverage page at /coverage before you rely on it.
