Managing global payroll and compliance is challenging. But when it comes time to switch providers or upgrade systems across multiple countries, implementing new systems and payroll can be a long and arduous process. If there are disparate systems and lack of integration, it can seem overwhelming to think about making a change.

If you are using different providers in each country, the coordination between vendors and your internal teams to ensure continuity in the payroll process and make sure employees are paid during the transition is key to ensuring compliance as you make a change. Some countries like Canada have similar payroll processes as in the US, but in other countries like France, payroll is much more complicated and can make implementing new payroll more challenging.

In-country benefits, pension schemes, and statutory requirements vary by country and can also affect implementation timelines. It’s important to identify the unique requirements in each country and plan for any delays that could affect your implementation timeline.
