In US we do payroll. For other countries the employees are legally contractors, though still with equity and not treated any differently from anyone else on the team

We do the same, and the foreign employees take care of their own tax/benefits. We pay enough that this is worth it to them and makes the admin on the company side much more manageable.

How do you actually pay them as contractors? Do you literally just wire them USD or do you some service?

Not OP, but we are fully remote with a similar sized company and we just wire USD every month after they send us invoices. It’s pretty easy.
