Payroll outsourcing · Payroll administration

Your people will notice the change.

Before you decide

Almost nobody arrives looking for payroll. They arrive looking for a different one.

Every company with employees is already running it somehow. This is what changes when we run it.

It closes on time

The close lands on schedule, and with it the accounting, the payments and the reports someone is waiting for.

The numbers reconcile

And when something needs review, we find it and resolve it before it reaches your team or the employee.

Someone answers

Your team and your employees have someone to ask, and an answer.

The detail is there

You get the payroll with the detail of how every figure was reached. And so do your employees.

The four points come down to one: payroll that runs by itself. We put ourselves in your shoes and start there. Payroll that is on time, reconciled and explained is the service.

The transition

The month we run in parallel.

Your payroll is processed twice —the way it has been done and the way we would do it— and the results are compared. If something doesn't match, it shows up there, before it reaches your employees' pay.

If the company is new or just starting out

There is nothing to compare against: the implementation happens within the same month the company begins operating.

What we need from you to start

We ask for all of it up front, so we're not chasing you later.

  • The employee database
  • Payroll accumulators for the recent months
  • Pay policies and non-statutory benefits
  • The vacation ledger
  • The most recent processed runs
  • Standing payroll items in force
  • The accounting codes and the interface structure
  • The file structure your bank requires to disburse the payments

How the handover works

  • We agree on the planTimelines, communication channels and deliverables, defined with you before we begin.
  • We migrate and validateWe bring your information across and check it against what already exists.
  • We parameterizePayroll items, interfaces and the electronic payroll setup.
  • We control and reconcileThe checks that confirm the starting point is reliable.

If you don't have all of this information, we help or advise you to complete what is missing.

The recurring service

Four fronts, every month.

01 · Payroll

Processing and changes

We process changes, calculate terminations, earnings, deductions and withholding tax. We hand you the payroll for review and adjust it before final approval.

02 · Social security

Integrated contribution filing

We prepare the filing with statutory caps applied, ready to submit through any PILA operator.

03 · Integration

Banks, accounting and third parties

A flat file to pay from any bank. An automatic accounting interface into the system you already use, with every item included. And the schedule of third-party payments: payroll loans, employee funds and court-ordered garnishments.

04 · Electronic payroll

Filing with the tax authority

Generation, transmission and follow-up of the validation, until everything is confirmed as reported.

We don't ask you to change software. We fit into the bank you pay from and the accounting system you already have.

Beyond the monthly run What stops landing on your desk

Work your team does today because nobody ever decided otherwise.

The deliverables

Everything that gets produced, in your hands.

To pay and to book

Bank flat file, accounting interface, payslips and electronic payroll receipts.

To report

Integrated contribution filing, withholding tax detail, income and withholding certificates, the annual information return, and deliverables for inspection and oversight bodies.

To manage your people

Employee master file, vacation ledger, consolidated statutory benefits, third-party payment schedule, and bases for voluntary pension and AFC contributions.

The employee portal

Your employees stop asking HR.

Each person signs into the portal and looks up what's theirs whenever they need it: their payslip with the full breakdown, their employment certificate, their income and withholding certificate.

Fewer requests landing in your team's inbox, and an immediate answer for whoever asks.

No surprises

The fee depends on the size of your payroll.

We charge by employee bands: the more employees, the better the rate per person.

If you need special processes, additional reports or deliverables, particular interfaces or support with administrative activities, we agree on that with you.

It all starts with an assessment of your operation. The figure comes out of that, and we talk it through before you sign anything.
