Global Payroll

What Is Global Payroll?

STEP BY STEP

What Does Providing Payroll for Your Global Employees Entail?

Successfully managing payroll functions for your staff around the world requires following a complex set of steps:

1

Getting familiar with all relevant aspects of local law, tax law, and payroll regulations

2

Establishing a local legal entity to employ your staff

3

Compile your employee data

4

Storing and protecting your employees’ data

5

Paying and managing taxes for your employees

Knowing the functions you need to manage depends on the local labor laws and requirements. Errors can mean potentially significant fines or penalties, as well as delays to your business operations.
Setting up and incorporating a new company in your target market can be a challenging procedure by itself. Still, to provide payroll for your team, you first need to be able to employ your workers and pay them in that country.
This means keeping meticulous records of your employees’ personal, work, and bank details and knowing each individual’s tax and social security information.
You will need to set up and manage a payroll system for storing employee data mergeable with data from your offices in every country you work in. This data will also need to be stored securely to abide by appropriate data privacy laws.
Paying your employees means more than simply transferring money. As the employer, you must ensure that payments are made following all local tax and social security procedures.
