How do you pay workers in other countries?

You can set up legal entities to run payroll directly, but this can be time-consuming, expensive and prone to error. Outsourcing to a third party, either using a PEO or EOR, removes much of the complexity, as well as reducing the risk of holding the legal entity yourself.

When should you move to a global payroll service?

The best time to move to a global payroll service is when you're planning expansion into new countries, have many different sub-offices around the world that need managing, or if you're operating in a country where there are special tax rules for international business operations.

What are the benefits of international payroll services?

These services give you better visibility and transparency of your payroll across all the countries where you do business. As a result, it's much easier to spot areas where improvements can be made, helping you cut costs and improve employee experiences.

Which services are provided by top international payroll service providers?

A good global payroll service will encompass every single duty and responsibility related to your payroll, from initial implementation through to payroll processing and tax remittance. You'll also be able to monitor payroll performance at any time.

Which country's laws apply to foreign workers?

Payroll regulations vary from country to country. Additionally, some countries apply their own rules to international employees, while others don't. Keeping track of all the different regulations can be complex, which is where a global payroll partner can be so useful.

What is an EOR?

An employer of record (EOR) is an organisation that can hire and pay employees on behalf of another business, whether nationally or internationally. The Employer of Record is responsible for all HR tasks, such as immigration, payroll and employment, ensuring compliance and efficiency are achieved without a business setting up a local entity in a new territory.

Keeping in mind that employment regulations vary drastically from country to country, our role as the EOR service provider is to take on the responsibility of everything to do with officially employing you — from tax and payroll to compliance with local and national laws.

On paper, we act as your primary employer, but you’ll still complete your day-to-day activities for our client. In short, you’ll be like any of their other employees, delivering your job responsibilities to the business.

What can we do for you?

We are a global organisation, so wherever you are in the world, we can ensure you have a compliant employment contract, receive all of your statutory benefits, and pay your salary and tax in line with local regulations.

In addition, we work with you and our client to ensure the offer you receive is the best fit for you. In most cases, we will be able to offer medical and dental packages, other additional benefits and compliant bonus and commission solutions.

What does onboarding look like?

Once we have been given the go-ahead from our client, we will reach out to you to introduce ourselves and a dedicated member of our global support team who will guide you through your onboarding. You will also be given access to our bespoke HRIS Portico EOR portal and asked to provide a few documents to get started.

We will also work with our client on the initial draft of your contract, and once that is complete, it will be shared with you for review and comment or signature.

Once you have signed your contract, our global support team will guide you through the remaining steps of your onboarding by requesting any final documentation, registering your employment with the local authorities (labour, social security, etc.), and setting up any additional benefits.

When your onboarding is complete, we will arrange a final call with you to answer any outstanding queries you might have and advise you on our processes going forwards.
