What are global payroll solutions?
Global payroll solutions ensure that employees and contractors are paid correctly in every country in the world.
​
Difema Global supports global payroll as part of its global Professional Employer Organization (Global PEO) solution. Through this solution, also known as 'Employer of Record' or 'EOR', Difema Global becomes the legal employer of the employees of a client company worldwide.
We administer payroll, deduct required taxes and social security contributions, and act as an "employer of record" for tax authorities and other regulatory bodies.
What is the payment solution for freelancers?
Sometimes companies prefer to hire international subcontractors instead of having employees on the payroll. For these cases, Difema Global offers a payment service for freelancers.
​
With our contractor payment solution, we make sure that all contractors are paid efficiently and in full compliance with the law. We take care of currency issues and make sure billing complies with local tax laws.
​
We also advise whether the employment of a contractor could be considered a misclassification of an employee ("employee misclassification") under local tax and employment laws.
Advantages of using Difema Global's global payroll solutions
Using a global payroll solution to pay your international team offers a number of benefits. These include:
1. One partner for global payroll
If your teams are spread across multiple countries, or if you want them to be, your business will typically need to deploy payroll staff to each location.
​
With global payroll solutions, you have a single partner to manage and distribute payroll and benefits for all international locations. You pay a single monthly bill, while we make all payments to international employees.
2. Legally Compliant Employee Benefits and Payroll Administration
Strict laws and regulations apply to employee payroll. Also, these laws vary significantly from country to country. For example, there is no standard method for withholding payroll taxes and social contributions, and each country takes a slightly different approach.
​
With Difema Global's payroll solution, you can ensure that the administration of payroll and employee benefits is done in full compliance with local laws.
​
A global payroll solution from Difema Global is the best way to ensure you don't get back taxes, interest and penalties from regulators for non-compliance.
3. Cost reductions
Managing payroll and benefits is a specialized task. This means that in most cases it is cheaper to hire a specialist like Difema Global than to manage payroll yourself.
​
With Difema Global, our global payroll and PEO outsourcing solutions save you up to 85 percent of the cost.
4. Competitive fringe benefits
A key component of global payroll, in addition to distributing payments to employees and contractors, is managing employee fringe benefits such as health insurance and pension funds.
​
As a payroll expert, Difema Global has access to competitive fringe benefits not normally available to foreign companies.
5. Optimized financial planning
Payroll laws generally require employees to be paid in their local currency according to established pay periods (for example, bi-weekly or monthly).
​
For international companies, managing payments in multiple countries at different times becomes a problem due to currency fluctuations. With our global payroll solutions, you make a payment in one currency each month and Difema Global takes care of the rest.
Step by step payroll guide
When you choose a global payroll solution with Difema Global, the process is usually as follows.
1. Confirm payroll strategy
Difema Global will discuss with you the best payroll approach for your company. Typically this will be part of a global PEO/EOR solution where Difema Global becomes the legal employer for your international employees.
2. Sign contract
Your company and Difema Global enter into a contract that specifies the terms and conditions of the proposed service.
3. We onboard employees and implement the payroll solution
After onboarding employees with qualifying employment contracts, we collect basic payroll information for each employee, such as personal information and tax identification numbers, as well as desired payment methods.
4. We manage the payroll
Payslips are sent to all employees on a regular basis and according to an agreed schedule. All significant social security contributions and taxes are recorded and withheld as appropriate.
5. We keep in touch with the authorities
We submit the required reports and declarations to the tax and labor authorities of each country where you are.
6. We process payroll for departing employees
We make sure that final pay, benefits, vacation entitlements, and taxes are accounted for correctly for all departing employees, regardless of whether it's a termination or voluntary departure.
