Payoneer Workforce Management (formerly Skuad) handles hiring, payroll, and compliance for employees and contractors across more than 160 countries. That fits two shapes of Moroccopreneur reader directly: a Moroccan startup hiring international remote talent, and a diaspora entrepreneur running a team split between Morocco and another country.
Key features
- Employer of Record (EOR) services for hiring full-time employees in countries where you have no legal entity
- Contractor management with compliant payments in 70 currencies
- Localized contracts and legal compliance support across 160-plus countries
- Benefits administration, timesheets, and expense management in one system
- An Agent of Record (AOR) option for managing existing contractor relationships at scale
Pricing
As of September 2026, per Payoneer’s own workforce management pages, Employer of Record services start at $199 per employee per month, and Contractor Management starts at $19 per contractor per month, both with no setup or offboarding fees. Agent of Record pricing is quoted individually based on contractor volume and country mix. These platform fees sit on top of the employee’s actual salary plus local employer taxes and statutory contributions, which typically add another 20 to 50 percent depending on the country. Confirm current fees on Payoneer‘s site before budgeting a hire.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Removes the need to set up a legal entity abroad just to hire one person | The $199-a-month EOR fee is on top of full salary and local taxes, which adds up for more than one or two hires |
| Contractor Management at $19 a month is affordable for smaller diaspora-linked teams | Total employment cost still requires understanding each target country’s tax and labor rules, which the platform explains but doesn’t eliminate |
Who it’s for
Moroccan startups hiring remote employees or contractors abroad, and diaspora entrepreneurs running a team split between Morocco and another country, who want compliant payroll without setting up a foreign legal entity.
Who should skip it
A team hiring only within Morocco has no need for cross-border EOR or contractor compliance services built for a different problem.

FAQ
What’s the difference between the EOR and Contractor Management options?
EOR is for hiring someone as a full employee in a country where you have no legal entity. Contractor Management is for paying independent contractors compliantly, which is typically cheaper and has fewer statutory obligations attached.
Can I use this to hire someone based in Morocco?
The platform covers 160-plus countries, so Morocco is very likely included, but confirm directly with Payoneer for your specific hiring scenario before assuming coverage.
