What services are included under Global Payroll?

1. Gross to net calculation (G2N): Calculation of payroll at every cycle in accordance with the payroll and country norms, including gross-ups.

2. Payslip generation: After review and confirmation on the payroll report we provide, payslips are published for your employees each cycle. These payslips can be viewed directly through the Multiplier or your HRIS platform if you use BambooHR, Workday, or Hibob. This can also be finetuned to match your company payslip structure and stay by specific country norms.

3. Registration and de-registration of employees: We take care of onboarding and offboarding. We’ll handle benefits like your company’s social security policy or other statutory benefits required by law in your country.

4. Funds Disbursement: Where available, you can choose Multiplier to pay employees directly on your behalf. We can also handle the statutory payments required (payments to the relevant tax authorities, pension providers, and government agencies). Alternatively, You can pay employees yourself, and we will provide detailed information in a CSV file.

5. Customized Reports: Apart from standard reports such as bank files, headcount reports, YTD, etc., you can customize reports per your requirements.

6. Detailed Reporting: We’ll generate a detailed General Ledger report so you can get a full view of the expenses based on the cost center. Comparing reports across countries becomes easy, allowing you to make strategic decisions for your business.

Consolidated payroll view: We will allow you to see a consolidated view of all your G2N totals across all Countries, Entities, and Payroll cycles.How much does Global Payroll cost?

How much does Global Payroll cost?

Multiplier offers dynamic and progressive pricing based on the headcount of employees you need payroll for. The more the employee headcount, the better the pricing.

The total cost is influenced by factors such as the number of countries you need payroll in, frequency of payroll cycles, nature of service required, and other events such as onboarding and offboarding of employees.

How can I define my payroll calendar

The payroll calendar is defined while you are onboarding with Multiplier.

In the case of Multiplier making salary payments for your employees, we follow a calendar for payroll fixed for a monthly, semi-monthly, or bi-weekly payroll. You can find details of the payroll calendar here.

However, if you require only Gross to Net calculations as a service, the payroll calendar can be aligned and mutually agreed upon between Multiplier and you.

How can I view all employees across all entities?

All employees are tied to their respective legal entities, and you can view this in different tabs, allowing for a clear and crisp view. This is all hosted within the Multiplier platform.

How long does implementation take for global payroll?

The implementation process can take 1 to 3 months, depending on the number of employees and country complexity. The steps in the implementation broadly include:

• Meeting to review requirements and map out your desired "go live" date

• Data collection and migration

• Employee onboarding

• Shadow payroll

• Payroll configuration

Our implementation process also follows a wave plan methodology so that if you have payroll for multiple countries, it is phased out to optimize time.

How does Multiplier ensure compliance with tax and labor laws in different countries?

We have country-specific compliance experts with local language support. In addition, we keep the Multiplier platform proactively updated with the latest changes in any country's specific laws so that you don't have to worry about them.
