Can you pay employees and subcontractors in the same payroll?

Yes. Direct employees on PAYE, subcontractors under schemes such as CIS, off-payroll/IR35 workers, and agency labour all run in one payroll, each engaged and taxed correctly, so worker status stays defensible.

Can you allocate labour cost to our projects?

Yes. Time and pay are allocated to the right project or WBS element, so project costing is accurate and auditable - and it integrates with SAP where you run it.

Do you handle site allowances, travel, and rates that vary by site?

Yes. Site and travel allowances, subsistence, site-specific rates, overtime and standby are all applied automatically, with retroactive recalculation when rates or agreements change.

What about crews working across borders?

Posted-worker rules, cross-border tax, and travel and expense are handled as crews move between countries - and Employer of Record can employ people where you have no legal entity yet.

Does it fit with our field workforce management?

Yes. Zalaris reads schedules and captured hours from your field workforce management and turns them into pay. If you prefer, PeopleHub can capture site time itself, on the same platform as payroll.

Can you keep pay running as projects start and finish?

Yes. Zalaris stands crews up at mobilisation and winds them down or redeploys them at close-out without pay gaps - and can run HR and payroll through carve-outs, as at Yunex Traffic.

Who we serve - Infrastructure

HR and payroll for infrastructure - one payroll for every worker, on every project

Infrastructure work is organised by project and delivered by employees, subcontractors, and agency crews, on pay that shifts by site and job. Zalaris pays everyone compliantly, allocates cost to the project, and stays accurate as crews cross sites and borders - software, co-managed, or fully managed.

Employees, subcontractors, agency - one compliant payroll

On an infrastructure programme, the person next to you might be your employee, a subcontractor, or agency labour - and each is engaged, paid, and taxed differently. Getting the classification wrong is where the exposure sits. Zalaris runs them all in one payroll, each handled correctly:

Service Category	Services Covered
Direct employees	PAYE, with agreements, allowances, and pensions applied
Payroll processing & compliance	Verified and paid under schemes such as CIS, with correct deductions and returns
Off-payroll / IR35	Assessed and paid compliantly, so worker status is defensible
Agency & labour supply	Paid in the same run, with clean cost data back to the project
Workers in new countries	Employed through Employer of Record where you have no legal entity yet

Pay, allowances, and cost that move with the job

Infrastructure pay is not a flat monthly salary - it moves with the project: site and travel allowances, rates that vary by site, overtime and standby, and labour cost that has to land against the right project or WBS element. Zalaris keeps pace across a project’s life:

Stand up the site
Set up crews, site rates, and allowances for a new project - people paid correctly from the first shift.
Capture, apply, allocate
Turn site time into pay, apply allowances and premiums, and allocate labour cost to the project or WBS.
Wind down or redeploy
Close out or move crews to the next project - no pay gaps, no orphaned cost.

What happens when enterprises choose Zalaris

What we delivered:

Complete platform implementation. Managed payroll services. System integration. 22-month rollout across all countries.

Results:

Successful separation from parent company systems. Global solution covering entire employee lifecycle. On-time delivery despite complexity. Local compliance maintained across all markets.

For crews that cross sites - and borders

Infrastructure teams rarely sit still. Pay has to follow them between sites and across jurisdictions, with the travel and compliance that entails.

Mobile & field time
Capture time on site or on mobile, and feed it straight into pay - no paper timesheets waiting for someone to key them in.
Travel & expense
Per diems, mileage, and subsistence for dispersed crews, processed with pay rather than in a separate, disconnected tool.
Cross-border compliance
Posted-worker rules and cross-border tax handled as crews move between countries, on one standard - with EoR where you have no entity.
