Papaya helps businesses of all sized to improve their workforce management, payroll and employee payments whether in the world they are. The automated end-to-end solution that covers onboarding through to on-going management and to cross-border payments.
Papaya Global founder Eynat Guez said, “Global Payroll is an exciting industry that is relevant to each one of us as employees and to any organization and industry, especially those planning global expansion.
“At the same time, the global payroll process is extremely complicated. It requires working with multiple local suppliers, sorting through all types of reporting styles, and dealing with the nuances of local compliance. Most organizations, big and small, still manage payroll manually, requiring payroll managers to work five times harder when calculating the salary of a global employee.”
