Global payroll intelligence at your fingertips

With our secure online technology solution, you receive control, visibility and compliance across your global payroll operations.

With our cloud-based solution, you get:

  • Accounting for local language and currency, for operations involving workforces that range from just one to thousands of employees.
  • Visibility and control of each local payroll and head office. We provide a single, secure application that enables multinational businesses to view, exchange and report on payroll consistently and efficiently.
  • Agile and flexible processes. Our solution contains cloud-based workflows, calendars, dashboards and reports that pull real-time data from across your organisation.
  • Manage and report effectively on payroll performance and improve business decisions by drawing on consistent, up-to-date information on global employment costs and trends.
  • Strike the perfect balance between secure technology and local regulatory payroll expertise, ensuring accurate, timely and compliant payroll.

Failsafe prompts for managers and maximised process visibility

Our technology solution takes the heavy lifting out of delivering payroll accurately, compliantly and on time.

You can even use mobile devices to check your business’s cross-country payroll status and provide authorisations on the move. Don’t let moving between meetings stop you or your senior stakeholders accessing real-time analytical information on your payroll financial and employee data.

Nothing falls between the cracks. What if one of your offices hasn’t entered its required payroll data on time? In this situation, our system produces an email prompt and, if needed, escalates the issue to senior company management and the local TMF Group office.

Secure access to documentation and online support for employees.

You get an intuitive, consistent, web-enabled experience.

Your employees can access payroll-related information securely from any device - computer, smartphone or tablet - fully confident that it is a secure location for payslips and other confidential information.

At the same time, they can interact with your company or TMF Group payroll experts to resolve queries or problems in their time zones and native languages.

How we process your payroll

We’ve developed our payroll middleware to exchange, process and manage global payroll data between TMF Group and your company’s managers, payroll teams and employees.

It is system agnostic, able to interface with almost any leading Human Capital Management (HCM) system or time and attendance software.

Our governance reaches throughout our local offices, which allows us to adapt payroll go-lives to your needs as much as possible.

During onboarding, we work with you to create the interfaces, workflows, reports, roles and permissions needed on the application.

Step 1. Data input

When the payroll cycle begins, our application takes in the relevant payroll period data - including hours worked, changes and updates (new hires and leavers, bonus, commission, salary and absences) - either automatically from an interface with your HCM software or manually using data templates.

 

Step 2. Payroll processing

Once the data is loaded into the local payroll system for processing and trial outputs, these are automatically sent within the application for review, approval, or reprocessing based on your specific feedback.

 

Step 3. Data output

After the approval is received, the application produces final reports, uploads bank files and summaries, fulfils statutory and check payments, and generates the final general ledger for upload to your company’s accounting system. Consecutively, emails are sent to your employees to alert them to new payslips.
