Multinational companies have faced many challenges over the last year. Now that the new year has begun, it’s time to look at your global payroll and identify ways to simplify the process. With new in-country regulations due to COVID, new Brexit rules, and furlough schemes in each country, payroll has gotten more complicated. How can you make sure you’re getting the most out of your global payroll in 2021 and stay ahead of new changes?

Technology

Each country has made adaptations to daily work life due to different government lockdowns and social distancing protocols. Some offices are fully remote, some are working with 50% capacity each day, and some have laid off or furloughed employees due to business conditions. Using technology to communicate and manage daily operations is a must have in this environment.

Platform

Using one platform to manage your employees across the globe is the gold standard in global payroll. Your payroll technology should have one login to manage employees in every country, provide automated updates, customized reporting across all countries and currencies, and real-time access to your payroll costs across the organization. If your payroll process isn’t running smoothly, your technology could be the problem. Having the right software that works for you is the key to simplifying payroll, reducing errors, and ensuring compliance in each country.

Expertise

One other aspect of global payroll is in-country expertise. What happens if you have a question about your payroll in India? What if the rules in India have changed and you didn’t know? Having direct access to in-country experts is another step in the right direction. You shouldn’t have to wait a week (or 2) to hear back on a simple payroll-related question. If you don’t have direct access to your payroll experts in each country, you’re missing out.
