About Payoneer Workforce Management

Payoneer Workforce Management is a global hiring platform built on the former Skuad product, letting businesses employ staff and engage contractors across 160+ countries without local entities, through Employer of Record, Agent of Record, and a contractor management system. For the UK it is used as EOR or contractor management rather than as standalone own-entity UK payroll software, with quote-led pricing positioned below Deel and Remote. Under EOR it handles UK PAYE, pension auto-enrolment, and statutory pay through its local entity, with contractor management priced per contractor in USD.

Payoneer Workforce Management was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in New York, USA.

Common questions about Payoneer Workforce Management

The same questions UK merchants ask before signing up.

  • Payoneer Workforce Management does not publish a standard UK payroll price; both the per-employee rate and monthly base fee are quote-based. Its Employer of Record service, for hiring UK staff without a local entity, is priced from £149/emp/mo per employee per month, notably cheaper than most competing EOR platforms in this comparison.

  • Payoneer handles HMRC recognition, RTI reporting, and pension auto-enrolment via its Employer of Record service rather than as standalone own-entity payroll software, since it acts as the legal employer on your behalf. There is no dedicated CIS support for construction subcontractors, so businesses needing CIS reporting should look elsewhere.

  • Payoneer's Employer of Record (EOR) service, built on the former Skuad platform it acquired in 2024, lets a business hire full-time staff in the UK or over 160 other countries without setting up a local legal entity. Payoneer becomes the legal employer and handles contracts, payroll, tax, and statutory benefits on your behalf.

  • Payoneer is a direct competitor to Deel and Remote for cross-border hiring. Its main advantage is price: its Employer of Record rate sits well below the typical Deel and Remote EOR cost. The trade-off is that it is a newer brand post-acquisition, and unlike Deel it does not offer a standalone own-entity UK payroll product.

  • Yes. Payoneer includes misclassification protection through its Agent of Record service, along with immigration support and a contractor-to-employee conversion path for cross-border hires. These features are aimed at businesses hiring or paying people outside their home country rather than running domestic UK-only payroll.

  • No. Payoneer Workforce Management is built for cross-border hiring through Employer of Record and contractor payment services, not for running domestic UK payroll on your own entity. Rated 4.6 out of 5 on G2 from 130+ reviews, it earns its place when you are hiring or paying people outside the UK.
