What is payroll, really? for expats.

Payrolling for expats is becoming a more popular solution for employers every day. After all, employing expats generally involves a lot when you, as an entrepreneur, have to arrange it all yourself.

You have to think about a bit of administration, several legal aspects and the right knowledge of business (which is also up-to-date).

At first glance, an external, all-in-one HR department would then seem to offer an ideal solution.

How payroll works for expatriates

Payrolling for expats is a way of outsourcing the employment of your staff to an external payroll company. You then manage the expats yourself on a daily basis, but you further outsource all the 'arrangement work'. Think about: 

  • Payroll administration
  • Wage payments
  • Contract management
  • Different employer obligations

So, as a company looking for staff, you take on the recruitment, after which the payroller (e.g. Payse) does the rest.

Basically, a few points can clearly show how exactly this works: 

  • You transfer legal employer status: As a company looking for expats and working through a payrolling construction, you transfer the legal employer status to the payroller. All payments, remittances and details surrounding the contract are therefore no longer your concern as an employer. This also means that you no longer have to think about issues such as sick leave and proper handling of any dismissal.

     

  • Focus on daily management: It is important to note that you do remain fully responsible for the day-to-day management of the staff. So that means you assess the expats yourself, make work schedules for them and give them a clear idea of what is expected of them on a daily basis. A payroller focuses purely on the administrative and legal side.

     

  • Complete payroll relief: As already briefly mentioned, you no longer have to worry about the entire payroll. Payrolling for expats, for example, means that all pay slips, premiums, contracts and also annual statements are all arranged externally. This saves you a lot of administrative hassle as a company and leaves you more time for more important matters. 

So, all in all, as a company, you can definitely speak of a win-win situation.

Benefits for employers of payrolling for expats

To paint an even clearer picture of why payrolling is such an ideal solution for expats, we briefly list the main benefits for you: 

  • Fewer employer risks: Since you transfer legal employer status through this arrangement, you automatically run fewer risks that normally apply to employers. The main examples are laws and regulations concerning illness and dismissal.

     

  • Super-simple payroll: Something that many companies see as the single biggest advantage of payrolling is how easy it makes payroll administration. Just think of all the headaches you are spared when you leave payroll to an external HR party. You can be sure that all salary payments, the correct payment of premiums and the handling of tax matters are all taken care of to perfection.

     

  • Huge time savings: As a company, you probably prefer to devote more time and attention to growing your business. Administration and all the regulatory work around staff generally feels like a block. It takes a lot of time and effort to get it in order, when you would much rather spend this time on ways to take the business to the next level.

     

  • Access to appropriate expertise: On top of that, it is also simply a lot more efficient when you outsource something to a real expert. Payroll companies like Payse deal with everything involved in payrolling for expats on a daily basis. As a result, we know in detail about processes surrounding immigration, residence applications and, for example, the 30% regulation. As a result, everything runs faster, smoother and you, as a company, can be sure that everything is arranged properly in one go.

     

  • Easier to attract foreign 'talent': There is a certain feeling among many companies that it is all very difficult to attract foreign workers. On a legal level, for instance. It comes in handy when payrolling for expats seriously facilitates this process. It gives you easy access to all kinds of foreign talent. Your company will most likely reap the benefits in both the short and long term. 

Thus, there are plenty of reasons for companies to at least consider giving payrolling for expats a chance. Do you have certain questions and/or are you curious about what exactly is currently possible? Then Payse is ready to help you immediately!

  • Knowledge migrants must earn a market-based minimum salary (set by the government)
  • You must offer an expat salary conditions at least equivalent to permanent employees
  • Using knowledge migrant scheme vs going through application process recognised sponsorship
