Frequently Asked Questions
Managing payroll across multiple countries is complex. Each employee must be paid according to local laws and regulations.
How you organise it depends on:
✔ Resources available to manage payroll
✔ Need for a central overview of headcount and costs
✔ Whether you want to keep trusted local partners
Finding the right approach for your business shouldn't be guesswork. Let's discuss your global payroll needs—book a free consultation today.
Hiring abroad often requires a local entity—but not always. Employer of Record (EOR) services make global hiring simple and compliant. Through our partnership with Globalisation Partners, you can hire fast without setting up a legal entity. We handle payroll compliance while G-P supports the EOR lifecycle.
Not necessarily. Many businesses expanding abroad don’t have local payroll teams. Partnering with SD Worx means your central team can manage global payroll efficiently and compliantly—without the complexity.
All data is securely hosted in Europe, meeting strict data protection standards. Your sensitive information is safeguarded to the highest level.
According to several Global Payroll Complexity Indexes, which apply different criteria to assess complexity,France, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and Poland rank among the most challenging.
Our latest research, HR & Payroll Pulse 2025, shows that more than one in three employers in Italy, France, and Belgium cite “ensuring payroll accuracy and managing payroll errors” as their biggest challenge. The UK and Croatia face similar issues: over one-third of employers struggle not only with payroll accuracy but also with compliance and adapting to evolving labor laws.
If you operate in just a few countries, local software might work, but it’s not scalable. Our global platform integrates with local engines, automates data flow, and ensures compliance without juggling multiple systems.
In most cases, a national insurance number will be required—but this varies by country and situation. Our guide Hiring Abroad provides a step-by-step plan for each country. To ensure full compliance and avoid costly mistakes, we recommend partnering with a global payroll provider like SD Worx.
The right payroll provider depends on your specific needs, such as countries in scope, workforce size, and pay specifications.
Key questions to consider:
- Will you work with one global provider or several regional ones?
- Do they need proprietary payroll engines, or can they partner locally?
- Should you opt for a single global engine or local integrations?
There’s a lot to consider, but we can guide you in the right direction. Book a free consultation today.
