# Is there a faster route to a person at Remote for country-specific payroll and tax questions?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I've been reading up on whether there's a faster route to a person at <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/remote/reviews">Remote</a> for country-specific payroll and tax questions, and Remote's own help centre sets one out. Support chat opens with RemoteAI, Remote's AI assistant, and marking a response as not helpful brings up three options: chat with a live agent, create a support ticket, or return to the AI. Live messaging with the Customer Care team runs Monday to Friday, and tickets can be tracked from the chat widget. From the reviews I've read, waits show up on urgent matters, such as a payroll error or a start date coming up, and on local tax or benefits detail that needs someone who knows that country.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/global-employment-platforms-gep">global employment platforms</a>, handling tax obligations across countries is the service itself, and it's one of the things people value most about Remote, alongside onboarding and employment support that's often described as quick and reliable. The setup suits routine questions going through the AI and specialist ones going straight to a person; the wait appears when a country-specific question starts in the AI queue.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What I'd like to know from people using it:</p><ul>

&lt;p&gt;For urgent country-specific payroll or tax questions, I’d prioritize a support ticket with the country, payroll period, deadline, and exact issue clearly stated upfront. I’d also request escalation to a local payroll specialist rather than general support. Chat may be faster for initial contact, but getting the right expert involved quickly matters more than the first response time.&lt;/p&gt;
