- Are employment contracts required?
Certain countries require an employment contract between the employee and the employer of record. When you place an individual with us, any required contract is established between the employee and the agency located in the country of service.
- Are we required to pay vacation time, holiday pay and/or sick time?
Most countries outside of the U.S. have laws that require employees to be paid vacation, holiday and/or sick time. We ensure that the minimum allowance required by that country's law is provided. Clients also have the option to provide supplemental time off at their discretion.
- What benefits are provided?
Many countries outside of the U.S. have country mandated insurance plans. Plans vary by country but may include programs such as health insurance, disability insurance and retirement plans. We ensure that all required taxes/withholdings are paid to ensure the employee is eligible for those services. Certain countries may have supplemental benefits available. Please contact us for more details.
- Can I end my employee at any time?
Many, but not all countries outside of the U.S. have specific regulations regarding the amount of notice that must be given to an employee before terminating their assignment. These requirements vary greatly by country. Some countries require a contract length be established at the time of hire while others require that you give an employee a certain amount of advance notice prior to ending their work. This typically does not apply in instances when you want to transfer an employee from our payroll to yours. Please contact us directly for additional details.
- I have an employee I want to administer. What do I need to do?
Please contact our sales team to establish a service agreement. If an agreement is already in place for the country of service, submit the International Employee Requisition Form. Upon the receipt of this form, a welcome notice will be sent to the employee and a local representative based in the country of service will contact him or her directly with all necessary enrollment information and materials.
- I currently pay by net terms of 15 days or less. Can I pay electronically?
We offer the convenience of electronic fund transfer (EFT) to all of our clients in the U.S. Contact your sales representative for more information.
- How do I communicate changes in my worker's status, such as pay increases?
Please email your request stating the employee's name, current status, change requested, and any effective dates. These can be emailed to global@payrolling.com or directly to your International Services Team representative. Upon receipt, we will process and provide confirmation to you.
- How do employees submit their time?
All employees submit time using our online time and expense reporting system, TimeQ. Time approvers designated by you, the client, approve the hours at the completion of the pay period.

- I need to terminate a temporary worker. What do I do?
Please contact our International Services Team. Please be aware that certain countries require a termination notice period be adhered to. Your representative will be able to guide you through the process.
