International Workforce question

Our team is 100% remote and predominantly international. Here's my question: if you employ international consultants, does your company pay ALL the fees associated with that payment? We are currently paying the fee of the company that handles the payment (Payoneer, Wise, etc.). In the past, we have also tried to compensate for currency exchanges and the fees associated with that, but that's a nightmare. However, our contractors are expecting it and it is running us up to 5% of their payment. Multiply that by 20+ contractors and it's starting to add up. I'd appreciate any and all ideas or thoughts.
