Benefits of International Payroll Compliance & Processing

Decrease liability

Companies must continuously stay ahead on compliance. An international payroll service knows what rules and regulations apply to keep you secure.

Increase organizational efficiency

By handing over the heavy lifting of international payroll services to a third-party, your HR team can focus on mission-critical, employee-related tasks that build brand equity and loyalty.

Scale with ease

Payroll is the largest company expense. Working internationally causes a particularly volatile situation where wages can be hard to determine based on currency fluctuations. A partner can help minimize risks to give you a more transparent view of payroll and help you grow more seamlessly.

Avoid costly mistakes and penalties

Being late on payroll or missing it altogether can put you at legal risk. That’s even more true when working in multiple countries. By effectively executing payroll in real time, across countries, you’ll never be late.

Visualize your processes in one interface

With a clear plan in place, an outsourced international payroll provider can plan, track, execute, and report all of your processes and data in one location.

Let’s address your complex HR challenges together.

How should you choose an international payroll provider?

Good international payroll outsourcing companies tend to have one thing in common: they boast on-time success rate in an impressive amount of countries. But the best providers also offer the human element. Here are some key attributes to look for when picking an international payroll provider.

Can they fully manage the entire payroll process for you, not just the processing ?

Corban OneSource can manage the entire payroll lifecycle from closing out time and attendance to funds distribution in over 140 countries. Oust the entire headache of international payroll, not just some of it.

Can you get a human on the phone?


We offer a customer service model based on exceptional care. We pride ourselves on our communication. You get to talk to a real person, really fast, sometimes even our CEO.

Do they have a customizable approach?


We customize a solution based on your needs, so that you aren’t changing your processes to adapt to ours. Instead we offer a nimble team that can supplement yours and develop and implement best practices for increased efficiency.

Are they working in more than a few countries?

While some global payroll processors specialize in one country, we work in over 140 countries. We find this important if you already operate in more than one country or plan to grow in the future. Some regulations apply across country lines, but some will be specific to that country.

Are they well-versed in international compliance issues?


Rules and regulations become much more complex when working in multiple countries. Look for a provider that understands local laws to keep your business safe.

Payroll administration is the least strategic and most time consuming part of my team’s responsibilities; it was the perfect place to start outsourcing.

2. Compliance:

A third study found that compliance is an ever-increasing complex challenge for international business leaders and countries the world over are starting to tighten up on compliance failures.

3. Technology:

Another recent study found that businesses are looking for ways to reduce complexity and integrating AI and ML solutions that impact how business gets done. Companies are moving towards a single source of truth and want all their payroll processing done on a single, cloud-based interface, regardless of location.

Onboarding Process for International Payroll Services

Our team will conduct an audit to understand your unique payroll challenges. From there, we’ll give you a roadmap with clearly-defined expectations and milestones. Your team will approve the action plan, we’ll connect you with your staff member(s) and we will take over your international payroll function, offering assuredness to you and your employees. We’ll develop site-specific SOPs and employ a streamlined approach that ensures your employees get paid on time, every time.
Our payroll processing process follows a few steps: we’ll integrate our proprietary software with your companies information. We’ll set up your bank account and your employees bank accounts for direct deposit. We’ll conduct the necessary new hire paperwork on your behalf, with a focus on compliance. We’ll take a look at how you currently track time and either propose a new solution or integrate your existing one. We confirm that hours worked are correct. When we process your payroll, we’ll pay special attention to pre- and post-tax reductions. Next, we’ll pay your employees in the way they choose — either direct deposit or mailed checks. Finally, we’ll pay all taxes and insurance when due. We alert you on any changes in rules and regulations so that you have the necessary details to stay compliant with payroll tax and employment regulations. We provide full reporting and visibility along the way. We can often accomplish all of this in a more efficient and cost effective manner than internal solutions.
