Effortless Managed Payroll Services for accuracy, compliance, and peace of mind 

Your HR business partners remain the relationship owners with Zalaris experts. Zalaris takes on the operational complexity of compliance and payroll delivery - you retain transactional control of your workforce data and the people decisions that matter. 

  1. Compliance off your plate 

    Compliance off your plate 

    • Zalaris monitors legislation across all countries in scope and automatically updates statutory rules. You don't need to track regulatory changes.  
    • Robust payroll and expense management across borders ensures your organisation is protected from compliance risks. 
  2. Proven accuracy 

    Proven accuracy 

    • Payroll Control Centre and Continuous Incremental Payroll Comparison (CIPC) detect errors before payroll runs.  
    • Three validation rounds are completed before payroll is finalised, so you approve verified results.  
  3. Contractual SLA 

    Contractual SLA 

    • On-time payroll delivery is contractually guaranteed, with financial penalties if targets are missed.  
    • Critical incidents receive immediate resolution under the SLA.  
  4. Flexible scope 

    Flexible scope 

    • Start with payroll and add additional scope including travel & expense management, time & attendance, or employee help desk. 
    • Expand without a new implementation - simply adjust the scope on the same platform when you need it. 
  5. Government integrations built in 

    Government integrations built in 

    • Direct government integrations (including AltInn, Elster and HMRC) automate statutory filings, while we keep you informed of legislative updates. 
    • No manual exports or separate filing tools required.
  6. Path to full outsourcing 

    Path to full outsourcing 

    • When you're ready, extend to Comprehensive Outsourcing on the same platform.  
    • The transition is a scope change, not a provider change.
