As the new year begins, it’s a great time to look at what has been successful over the last year and what can be improved. When it comes to global payroll, there are many pain points that can hinder your global expansion plans and operations. Solving common pain points in your global payroll process can be a great new year’s resolution and improve your organization. Here are some common pain points that many organizations face and how you can solve them in 2022.

Software and Vendor Limitations
If you have employees across multiple countries, you may be facing a common problem in your global payroll process: too many vendors and systems. How did you get there? Most likely it started with global expansion into one country using a local vendor, but as the company expanded into new countries, the process was repeated time and again. Now you have employees in 10 countries and you’re using 10 different vendors and systems. This is a common issue for companies with employees across several countries.

Reporting
If you have multiple vendors and systems processing your payroll, your payroll reporting is probably not ideal. You may receive different reports and numbers from each vendor, or a lack of data in one country – there is never consistency when you have too many sources for payroll data. If you can’t view payroll in real time across all countries and currencies, it is impossible to keep track of costs, view trends, and identify issues.

Compliance
Each country has different compliance regulations and payroll requirements that are constantly changing. If your organization is using different vendors and systems in each country, compliance only gets more complicated. There can be significant penalties for non-compliance when it comes to payroll and tax filings, so it’s vital to get compliance under control in every country to avoid audits and fines.
