Unified payroll for every worker type
U.S. employees, global contractors, and EOR (employer of record) hires can all be on the same payroll run. No stitching platforms together at month-end. Plane supports contractors in 240+ countries and employees in 100+ countries, including the U.S.
HRIS included for everyone
Use the same HRIS for all worker types. Onboard your whole team in one platform, see PTO for everyone at once, easily pull team data in custom reports, and more.
Get peace of mind with locally compliant agreements
Contractor agreements and employment contracts are all designed to meet local legal requirements in each jurisdiction. Compliance is built-in, not something you layer on top.
Human support for your whole team, including contractors
You don’t have to be the help desk for your team. Our Support team directly supports everyone on your team, including employees, contractors, and vendors.

Pay for what you need
Only paying one contractor in a month? Good news! We only charge for active contractors each month. Ready to hire your first employee abroad? We’ve got you. Plane scales with you as you grow and doesn’t charge you for bloatware.
Local payment rails
International payments are routed through local rails, for faster settlement, lower fees, and fewer complaints. Paying globally feels like paying domestically.
Contractor-friendly exchange rates
All contractors should be paid fairly, regardless of their location. We don’t believe in making money through exorbitant markups. Our transparent, contractor-friendly rates means happier contractors and fewer complaints for you.
No e-wallet
Global contractors receive payment directly into their bank accounts, just like their U.S. counterparts do. They keep more of what you send. You hear less about it.
