One Global Payroll Strategy: Turning Fragmentation into Advantage

Numerous​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ multinational corporations manage their payroll locally through several different providers, spreadsheets, and systems that are not connected. This disjointed method causes inefficiency, higher costs, and very limited visibility and according to the latest research, businesses that want to be accurate and compliant in cross-border environments need to move to a single, unified global payroll system.

Mercans has the technology and the knowledge to bring together scattered payroll operations into one, simplified solution.

Challenges of Fragmented Payroll

When payroll is handled independently in each country or region, it is a significant challenge to maintain the same level of service. It is quite common that each subcontractor chooses different systems, file formats, and reporting standards, which often results in mistakes, late submissions, and lack of openness.

Fragmentation also leads to a hike in running costs. Handling extra suppliers, updating and reconciling data, and checking the compliance of the different jurisdictions take up quite a lot of time and money.

Advantages of Consolidation

Integrating global payroll can make a company gain:

• Cost Efficiency: Consolidation eliminates unnecessary changes in the vendor fees and reduces overhead-related administration.
• Compliance Control: A single system guarantees that every payroll run complies with local regulations.
• Data Accuracy: Centralized data limits errors and simplifies reporting.
• Visibility: Leadership obtains real-time information regarding global labor costs as well as compliance metrics.
• Scalability: A unified solution opens up the new market without new vendor contracts.
