FAQ - Global Deployments & Global Payroll
Everything You Need to Know: Global Payroll
What is Global Payroll outsourcing?
Global Payroll outsourcing is the practice of delegating payroll processing, statutory contribution management, tax withholding, and payroll compliance to a third-party provider that manages those obligations in each country on behalf of the client. It allows companies to run accurate, compliant payroll across multiple jurisdictions without building in-house payroll teams in each market.
How does Global Payroll work?
Global Deployments manages the end-to-end payroll cycle in each market, receiving payroll inputs from the client, calculating gross-to-net salaries, deducting statutory contributions and income tax, disbursing payments in local currency, and filing all required statutory reports with local authorities. Clients receive consolidated payroll reporting across all active markets through one dashboard.
What is the difference between Global Payroll and Global EOR?
Global Payroll outsourcing manages payroll processing, statutory contributions, and tax compliance without changing the legal employment relationship. The client remains the legal employer. A Global EOR takes on the legal employer role entirely, absorbing full employment liability and including payroll as part of the service. Companies with an existing legal entity in a market may use Global Payroll alone. Companies without one typically use Global EOR.
Why outsource Global Payroll instead of managing it in-house?
Managing international payroll in-house requires in-country payroll specialists, local tax expertise, relationships with statutory authorities, and country-specific payroll systems in each market. The cost and complexity multiply with every new country. Global Payroll outsourcing transfers that operational burden to a provider with existing in-country infrastructure, ensuring accuracy and compliance at a fraction of the in-house cost.
Which countries does Global Deployments provide Global Payroll services in?
Global Deployments provides Global Payroll services across 160+ countries. Core markets include Mauritius, Morocco, Kenya, South Africa, and Dubai, where in-country payroll specialists manage and file all payroll directly. Additional markets are accessible through our global service network.
How are multi-currency payroll payments managed?
Global Deployments processes payroll in the local currency of each market: Mauritian Rupee (MUR), Moroccan Dirham (MAD), Kenyan Shilling (KES), South African Rand (ZAR), and UAE Dirham (AED). Each payroll run is calculated and disbursed in the market’s local currency, with all statutory deductions and contributions calculated at the applicable local rates.
How quickly can Global Deployments activate Global Payroll services?
Global Payroll services are typically activated within 48 hours of engagement. Global Deployments’ payroll infrastructure – including statutory registration, local bank relationships, and authority reporting channels – is already in place in each market, eliminating setup delays.
What statutory contributions are managed in each payroll market?
Global Deployments manages all statutory employer and employee contributions in each market: NPF and NSF (Mauritius), CNSS (approximately 21.09% employer contribution), AMO, and CIMR (Morocco), NSSF, SHIF, NITA Levy, and Housing Levy at 1.5% employer and 1.5% employee (Kenya), UIF at 2% of remuneration and SDL at 1% of payroll (South Africa), and end-of-service gratuity at 21 days basic salary per year for the first 5 years of service (Dubai).
How is income tax withholding handled across Global Payroll markets?
Income tax is withheld and remitted in compliance with local tax law in each market: IGR (Impôt sur le Revenu) in Morocco, PAYE in Kenya and South Africa, applicable income tax in Mauritius, and no personal income tax on employee salaries in Dubai. All calculations, deductions, and tax authority filings are managed by in-country payroll teams.
What payroll reporting is provided with Global Deployments' service?
Global Deployments provides consolidated payroll reporting across all active markets, including gross-to-net summaries, statutory contribution schedules, tax withholding records, headcount data, and payroll cost analysis, delivered through a unified reporting dashboard with real-time visibility across all jurisdictions.
Can Global Payroll manage payroll for both local nationals and expatriate employees?
Yes. Global Deployments manages payroll for both locally hired employees and internationally mobile expatriates in each market. Expatriate payroll requires additional considerations – including multi-jurisdiction tax management and coordination with immigration status – which our in-country payroll and mobility teams handle as part of an integrated service.
What is included in Global Deployments' Global Payroll service?
Global Payroll outsourcing with Global Deployments includes: gross-to-net payroll calculations, statutory contribution management, income tax withholding and filing, payslip generation and distribution, local currency payroll disbursement, year-end payroll reporting, and dedicated payroll account management. Enhanced benefits payrolling and expatriate payroll are scoped separately.
How is payroll data security managed?
Global Deployments manages payroll data in compliance with applicable data protection regulations in each market. Payroll data is processed within the relevant jurisdiction, stored securely, and accessible only to authorised personnel. Clients retain full visibility over their payroll data through the consolidated reporting dashboard.
Can Global Payroll be combined with EOR or PEO services?
Yes. Global Payroll is available both as a standalone service for companies with existing legal presence in our markets, and as an integrated component of Global Deployments’ EOR and PEO engagements, where payroll is fully embedded into the broader employment management service. Multi-service engagements are priced as a unified package.
What are the biggest challenges of managing global payroll?
The primary challenges of global payroll are jurisdictional complexity, regulatory change frequency, currency management, data security, and integration with existing HR systems. Each country has its own contribution rates, tax withholding rules, payroll filing deadlines, and mandatory benefit structures. These rules change regularly and non-compliance triggers financial penalties in every jurisdiction. Running payroll in local currency across multiple markets introduces foreign exchange risk and requires relationships with local banking infrastructure. Coordinating payroll data across multiple countries into a consolidated report adds an additional layer of operational complexity. Providers with in-country payroll specialists and established statutory authority relationships eliminate most of these challenges, as they absorb the compliance monitoring, filing, and currency management burden directly.
How much does global payroll outsourcing cost?
Global payroll outsourcing is priced on a per-employee-per-month (PEPM) basis, with additional fees for complexity factors such as the number of payroll runs per month, the volume of statutory filings required, and whether expatriate or multi-jurisdiction payroll management is included. Costs vary significantly by market: payroll in markets with complex statutory frameworks and multiple contribution schemes (such as Morocco with CNSS, AMO, and CIMR, or Kenya with NSSF, SHIF, NITA Levy, and Housing Levy) is priced higher than payroll in simpler tax environments. Multi-country packages managed under a single engagement are typically priced more favourably than individual per-country arrangements. Global Deployments provides fully custom pricing based on the specific markets, headcount, and payroll complexity of each client.
What is the difference between global payroll software and global payroll outsourcing?
Global payroll software is a technology platform that assists payroll teams in calculating, processing, and filing payroll across multiple countries. The client’s internal team still manages the payroll function and remains responsible for compliance in each jurisdiction. Global payroll outsourcing transfers the payroll function entirely to a third-party provider whose in-country specialists manage calculations, filings, currency disbursements, and statutory authority relationships on the client’s behalf. For companies without in-house payroll expertise in each target market, outsourcing eliminates the compliance risk that payroll software tools alone cannot address. Software is a tool; outsourcing is a managed service with provider accountability for accuracy and compliance.
What is the difference between a global payroll aggregator and a fully managed global payroll model?
A global payroll aggregator connects a central technology platform to multiple local payroll providers in each country, creating a unified interface for the client while subcontracting the actual payroll processing to third parties in each market. The aggregator coordinates the data flow but does not necessarily employ or directly manage the local providers. A fully managed global payroll model involves a single provider with its own in-country payroll infrastructure, directly managing all payroll runs, statutory filings, and compliance obligations in each jurisdiction. The fully managed model offers stronger compliance accountability and a single contractual relationship covering all markets. Aggregator models can introduce inconsistency in service quality depending on which local partner is used in each country.
How does global payroll handle currency fluctuations and exchange rates?
Global payroll providers manage currency by disbursing salaries in the local currency of each market rather than converting from a single base currency at the point of payment. Employee salaries are contracted and paid in the local denomination, for example Mauritian Rupee, Kenyan Shilling, South African Rand, Moroccan Dirham, or UAE Dirham, with employer statutory contributions calculated and remitted in the same local currency. This approach eliminates employee exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. The client company typically funds payroll in a base currency (commonly USD or EUR) and the payroll provider manages the in-country disbursement. Exchange rate risk on the funding side is a commercial matter negotiated between the client and the provider.
How does global payroll ensure compliance when local payroll regulations change?
Statutory payroll rates and regulations change regularly across markets. Contribution rates are updated by government decree, new levies are introduced, and tax thresholds shift on annual or biannual cycles. A global payroll provider with in-country specialists monitors regulatory changes in each jurisdiction as they are published, updates payroll calculations automatically before the effective date, and notifies clients of any changes that affect payroll cost or employee net pay. Global Deployments’ in-country payroll teams in each core market maintain direct relationships with local statutory authorities, enabling real-time awareness of regulatory updates. Clients do not carry the burden of monitoring regulatory change in each country they operate in.
What is the difference between global payroll and international payroll?
The two terms are largely interchangeable in industry usage, both describing payroll management for employees based in multiple countries. Some providers use “international payroll” to describe payroll for a single foreign market (typically one country beyond the company’s home market) and reserve “global payroll” for coordinated multi-country operations. In practice, the distinction is semantic. The underlying operational requirements are the same: in-country statutory compliance, multi-currency payroll processing, local tax withholding, and consolidated reporting across jurisdictions. What distinguishes providers is not the term they use but whether they operate through in-country infrastructure or manage international payroll remotely through aggregated local partners.
How does global payroll manage year-end reporting and annual reconciliation?
Year-end payroll processing involves producing annual statutory reports for each jurisdiction, including employee income tax reconciliations, final contribution schedules, and any required annual returns to local tax and social security authorities. The requirements vary by market: South Africa requires IRP5 and IT3(a) tax certificates, Kenya requires P9A annual tax returns, Morocco requires annual salary declarations to the CNSS and Direction Générale des Impôts, and Mauritius requires NPF and NSF annual reconciliation returns. Global Deployments’ in-country payroll teams manage all year-end filings and reconciliations in each market, producing consolidated annual payroll reports for the client covering all active jurisdictions under one engagement.
Can global payroll integrate with existing HRIS or ERP systems?
Yes. Most global payroll providers support data integration with major HRIS and ERP platforms including SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Oracle HCM, BambooHR, and others. Integration typically works through API connections or structured data file exchanges that transfer employee master data, compensation changes, and headcount updates from the HRIS into the payroll system. For clients using enterprise-level systems, custom integration scoping is required to align data flows, ensure payroll calculation accuracy, and maintain consolidated workforce reporting across the two systems. Global Deployments supports structured payroll data integration and provides consolidated payroll reporting compatible with clients’ existing workforce management infrastructure.
How do gross-to-net payroll calculations differ across countries?
Gross-to-net payroll calculation, the process of determining an employee’s net take-home pay from gross salary, differs by jurisdiction because the statutory deductions, contribution schemes, and tax rates applied vary in each market. In Morocco, deductions include CNSS employee contribution (4.48% of gross), AMO employee contribution (2.26%), and IGR income tax calculated on a progressive scale. In Kenya, deductions include NSSF employee contribution, SHIF (Social Health Insurance Fund), Housing Levy at 1.5% of gross, and PAYE income tax on a progressive band. In South Africa, UIF at 1% of remuneration and PAYE on a progressive scale apply. In Dubai, no income tax or employee social security contributions are deducted. Each market’s gross-to-net formula is unique, and in-country payroll specialists ensure each calculation is applied correctly in accordance with current local rates.
