No visibility
Your Finance team cannot tell you what payroll costs globally. Every country reports differently. Consolidating the numbers takes weeks.
Global HR & Payroll services
You operate in more than one country. Each country has its own payroll rules.
Zalaris consolidates your HR and payroll: a single vendor and complete accountability for every country you operate in.
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 becomes its own project, with its own vendor and its own contract. Expansion that should take weeks takes months.

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, Zalaris already has the platform and the local expertise in place. You do not start from scratch. You extend what is already running.
Zalaris monitors local payroll requirements in every country covered by your service. When a requirement changes, we update the relevant payroll configuration and alert your team to any action needed. Your team does not have to track changes market by market.
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
Zalaris supports global and international payroll delivery across 150+ countries. Whether through our own operations or our network of trusted local partners, your employees log into the same PeopleHub either way, with no visible difference in what they see or how they're supported.
