How to End an Employee's Contract on Global Payroll

Step-by-step guide to ending an employee's contract on Global Payroll, and how timing affects the payroll cycle.

Because your entity, not Remote People, is the legal employer on Global Payroll, ending a contract is a lightweight action you complete directly on the platform, rather than a formal offboarding process we manage on your behalf.

How to end a contract

  1. Open the employee's profile

  2. Click Actions in the top-right corner

  3. Select End Contract

  4. Enter the required termination details: target end date, offboarding type, and reason for termination

  5. Confirm the action to finalize

This can't be undone. Confirming sends an offboarding submission to Remote People, and the action cannot be changed afterward. Double-check the end date, offboarding type, and reason before confirming.

Timing matters

Terminations submitted after the input due date may not be processed in the current payroll cycle. If you're ending a contract close to your cutoff, check your payroll calendar first so the change lands in the cycle you expect.

Ending multiple contracts at once

If you need to end contracts for several employees in the same payroll at the same time, this can also be submitted through Bulk Changes rather than one employee profile at a time.
