What you get

COMPLEX PAYROLL ADMINISTRATION

When calculating payments, we factor in everything, including hazard pay, compensation, shift work, hourly wages, sick pay, holiday pay and business trip expenses according to company policies. If your business has several legal entities, we will calculate and prepare regulatory reporting for each of them.

DATA CONFIDENTIALITY

Full security and confidentiality are guaranteed - we never disclose information on employee salaries. We carefully select, screen, and assess our payroll administration specialists. In addition to standard non-disclosure agreements, we will sign a corporate code of ethics that specifically relates to your business if requested.

COMMUNICATION WITH REGULATORS

We carry out regular payroll reconciliation, prepare mandatory reporting and take full responsibility for interacting with regulatory authorities, including migration authorities and the Federal Tax Service. If needed, we call on our tax practice specialists to resolve complex situations.

PAYROLL CONTINUITY

We provide a team to manage payroll calculations, which minimises the risks associated with sick leave, maternity leave or departure of a full-time employee. Our specialists undergo regular training to ensure that calculations are fully compliant with legal requirements. We work both remotely and on-site, on an hourly or permanent basis.

ELECTRONIC PAY SLIPS

With the help of an in-house developed add-on module, we automatically email pay slips to employees. Confidential payroll information is kept safe with an individual password. All processes are automated, eliminating the risk of sending the wrong pay slip by mistake. Employees can direct queries about pay slips and payments to our team of payroll specialists.

UPDATED RECORDS SYSTEM

We can customise and adjust your records system or migrate to a new system as needed. We examine how calculations are currently made and assess the accuracy of your tax register and other parameters to ensure a smooth transition. Our payroll administration solution is integrated with electronic HR document management systems, including our in-house developed Client Login online platform, to reduce labour costs throughout your HR department.
