Managed payroll is the outsourcing of payroll administration to a specialist provider which handles the entire payroll process on behalf of a company.
This includes calculating salaries, managing tax withholdings, ensuring compliance with local labour laws, and distributing payments to employees.
For growing businesses and multinational organisations, managed payroll reduces the administrative burden, minimises compliance risks, and ensures employees are paid accurately and on time.
Managed payroll providers oversee end-to-end payroll operations, typically covering:
Data collection: gathering employee details, contracts, time, and attendance records.
Salary calculations: computing gross and net pay, tax withholdings, and statutory contributions.
Compliance assurance: ensuring payroll aligns with local employment and tax regulations.
Payment processing: handling direct deposits, payslips, and third-party deductions.
Reporting: providing real-time payroll analytics and compliance reporting.
Accuracy: reduces payroll errors and compliance risks.
Time savings: frees up HR teams from repetitive administrative tasks.
Compliance confidence: ensures alignment with changing local and international payroll laws.
Cost efficiency: avoids in-house payroll infrastructure and reduces administrative overheads.
Scalability: supports workforce growth across multiple jurisdictions.
Employee satisfaction: builds trust by ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time.
In-house payroll: managed internally by HR or finance teams, requiring software, staff, and compliance expertise.
Managed payroll: fully outsourced to a provider, reducing internal workload and compliance risks.
