Worksome’s multi-currency contract feature allows you to create contracts in your workers’ local currency. This simplifies administration and provides international talent with greater clarity on their earnings.
What You Can Do with Multi-Currency Contracts
Offer contracts in a worker’s local currency
View the converted pay rate during setup
Automatically apply live exchange rates
Support batch invoicing by currency
Easily switch currencies before contract acceptance
How to Create a Contract in a Worker’s Local Currency
Once a Trusted Contact has created their account, you can offer them a contract in their preferred currency.
Go to the Trusted Contacts page.
Click “Offer job” next to the worker.
Or, click “+ Hire” and select Direct Hire.
On the job creation page, when entering the rate:
You’ll see an option to “Change to worker’s local currency” if their currency differs from yours.
Once selected, the rate will update to reflect the equivalent in their currency based on the current exchange rate.
This is the amount the worker will receive
How to Edit a Contract to Use the Worker’s Currency
To update the contract:
Open the conversation with the worker.
Click “Contract details” on the right-hand side.
Next to the job rate, click “Edit”, then “Change to worker’s preferred currency.”
Once changed, all future:
Invoices
Bills
Expense reports
will be generated and expected in the contract’s currency
Note: You can only change the currency before the contract is accepted.
Supported Currencies
You can use local currencies for workers in these regions:
United Kingdom (GBP)
United States (USD)
Canada (CAD)
Eurozone countries (EUR)
United Arab Emirates (AED)
Singapore (SGD)
Australia (AUD)
Denmark (DKK)
How Exchange Rates Are Calculated
Worksome uses a third-party API to fetch exchange rates from over 15 global sources — including banks and financial data providers. Rates are updated every minute.
Multi-Currency and Batch Invoicing
If your organization uses batch invoicing, invoices will now be grouped by currency.
For example, if you have workers in the US, UK, and EU, you may receive separate invoices in USD, GBP, and EUR.
How to Turn Off Multi-Currency Contracts
Multi-currency contracts are enabled by default. You can disable them anytime in:
Hiring Settings → Contract Settings
A few things to note:
If you disable the setting, future contracts will default to your currency.
Existing contracts in another currency will not be affected.
If you manually update a contract’s currency (e.g. from EUR to USD), all future bills will be in the new currency. Previous bills will remain in the original currency.
