Payroll Processing
We process payroll. You stay in full control.
Payroll calculation should not consume your team. Zalaris runs the payroll engine while your HR team keeps ownership of employee data and the decisions that matter.
Satisfied HR & Payroll customers from around the globe
Let the experts handle payroll
Payroll Processing services separates the engine from the strategy. Your HR business partners stay in control of employee data and workforce decisions. Zalaris handles the operational complexity of calculating, validating, and distributing payroll - accurately, on time, every cycle.
Payroll accuracy without the overhead
- Zalaris handles gross to net, output distribution, and pre-run validations. You stop managing payroll runs and focus on your workforce.
- Continuous Incremental Payroll Comparison (CIPC) runs 3 validation rounds before every payroll. You sign off after results are proven, not before.
Keep control of your data
- Zalaris hosts, secures, and maintains PeopleHub independently – No hassle for your IT teams
- ISO 27001:2022 certified operations, dedicated CSOC 24/7, EU data residency. 99.5% system availability SLA during business hours.
Full visibility, no surprises
- Your team retains approval rights on every payroll run. The Payroll Control Centre flags exceptions before payroll finalises. Zalaris processes; you sign off.
- Real-time dashboards, variance reports, and named points of contact. Monthly service review included as standard.
Your HR team, supported by experts
- Your HR business partners interact directly with Zalaris payroll specialists you can directly reach out to us, not an anonymous service desk.
- 3 monitoring checkpoints per day (08:00, 11:00, 14:00 CET). Smart exception handling via Zalaris CRM. Escalation path defined in your SLA.
Scales with your headcount
- Whether you have 1000 or 50,000 employees, the model works the same. No need to grow your internal payroll team as headcount grows.
- Add countries without infrastructure costs. The same PeopleHub platform and the same Zalaris team covers new markets from day one.
Step up when ready
- Move to Managed Payroll Services at any time. Same platform, adjusted scope. No new implementation.
- Most customers who expand their service level do so within 12-24 months of initial go-live. The platform is already in place - the scope just grows.
