Shor

International payroll, built for founders

Visit Shor

Shor is a platform for hiring and paying international employees and contractors, covering contract creation, payroll runs across 100+ currencies, and employer-of-record services. It handles the process end to end, from drafting locally compliant contracts and collecting tax forms to converting funds and paying workers in their local currency on pay day.

The platform includes modules for Talent, Payroll, Contracts, People, and Finance, with contract templates for fixed-rate, hourly, milestone, and employee engagements, e-signature, W-9/W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E collection, and payroll runs with disclosed FX margins and local tax filings. It supports contractor payments in 150+ countries and employee markets in 27, with funding via wire or ACH and local payouts through methods including UPI, SEPA, and PIX.

Shor is built for founders and teams managing international workforces. It offers three engagement types: independent contractors, full-time employees through Shor's employer-of-record entity, or employees on a company's own entity with managed payroll. Pricing is per person per month, with no setup fees, minimums, or annual lock-ins; plans are month-to-month with 30-day cancellation.
