International and Global Payroll Services

Global expansion poses significant opportunities and challenges for any size of organisation. As companies expand internationally, some elect to stick with established country-specific payroll processes to ensure employees get paid on time. However, this disjointed approach often overlooks critical elements which may have a significant effect on both compliance and profitability. A global payroll service solution can offer greater efficiency and improved compliance.

Questions to consider when deciding include: What is the optimum legal entity for the employer? Are there increased taxes or social security implications in different territories? Can the employer offset tax treaties? Will the employees be subject to local union agreements which may distort the cost of market entry?
