Making sure that work is being done remotely is not much different than in the office, unless it's something physical like making pies which you can see. I can see updates in a repo as easily 1000 miles away as sitting next to the person doing the work. I also don't care about 8 hours per day, I care about outcomes. I also am happy to pay by the hour or the day or whatever is appropriate. In fact I am nominally the only person in my current business nominally doing 8h per day, and it really doesn't matter as long as the right goals are achieved.
