No visibility
Your Finance team cannot tell you what payroll costs globally. Every country reports differently. Consolidating the numbers takes weeks.
Global Payroll & HR Services
Global Payroll & HR Services - one standard across every country you operate
Fragmented payroll across markets means no visibility, no control, and no way to scale. Zalaris delivers global HR and payroll across 150+ countries on one contract, one platform, and one reporting standard - with local compliance managed for you.
Satisfied customers from around the globe
Global payroll gets complicated fast
Most organisations running payroll across multiple countries face the same three problems.
Weekly Monthly No control
When legislation changes in one of your markets, you find out late, or not at all. Compliance depends on whoever you happen to have locally.
Quarterly No scalability
Every new country means a new vendor, a new contract, and a new implementation project. Growth and acquisitions wait on payroll, instead of the other way round.

CEO Zalaris
What every global HR leader needs
Your central HR and Finance team gets one reporting standard and one governance cadence across every country. You stop depending on whoever happens to be running payroll locally. Country teams stop operating as independent payroll islands.
When you enter a new market - or acquire one overnight - you do not start from scratch. You extend what is already running.
Legislation changes constantly in every market. Zalaris monitors and adapts to regulations in every country in scope, so your team is never the one tracking regulatory change.
What makes Global Payroll & HR complex?
Local complexity. Central control. Every country has its own rules, reporting obligations, statutory requirements, and collective agreements. Zalaris manages compliance across all your key markets.

150+countries covered
One platform. A consistent experience across every country.
PeopleHub is Zalaris' platform for global employee management.
Wherever your employees are in the world, they use the same PeopleHub, with the same self-service portal and payslip access, backed by AI support. Central HR and Finance teams see it from the other side: one set of dashboards, one reporting structure, across every market you run.
The delivery model behind each country may draw on different expertise and local knowledge. The platform your people use is always PeopleHub.
A structured path to global payroll
Zalaris deploys global payroll in structured waves, starting with your most complex or highest-priority countries and expanding systematically from there. Each country rollout reuses proven templates, so each additional market takes less effort than the last.
Before any country goes live, parallel run testing validates that payroll results are accurate. You approve results, not promises. Your sign-off comes after proof, not before.
Once live, governance runs on a defined cadence, regular reviews, SLA reporting and compliance monitoring, handled by Zalaris rather than left to chance.
150+ countries.
One contract
