International payroll services, handled by local specialists

Q: Do I need a legal entity in each country to use your payroll service?

Yes. Payroll services assume you're already the legal employer in that country - registered, with the entity in place. If you don't have an entity yet and want to hire compliantly without registering one, EOR is the right starting point →.

Q: Which countries do you cover?

We have owned entities and in-country specialists across 17+ markets: Belgium, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, UAE, and UK. For markets outside this list, contact us - our reach extends beyond our core 13.

Q: How do I submit payroll data - do I need to use a specific system?

No. You submit data in whatever format you already use - a spreadsheet, an HRIS export, a payroll input template. We don't require you to adopt a new platform, learn a new portal, or change your existing workflow. That's specifically one of the reasons companies choose Jackson & Frank over SaaS payroll platforms.

Q: What payroll systems do you use?

We run payroll on leading local payroll platforms in each market - systems built specifically for that country's statutory requirements. In the Netherlands, for example, we use Nmbrs, which is widely used by Dutch employers and integrates with local tax authority reporting. Our wider financial infrastructure runs on NetSuite. Your team doesn't interact with any of these systems directly.

Q: How is payroll pricing structured?

We don't use a flat per-employee rate. Payroll cost depends on your markets, employee count, and the complexity of each country's requirements - French payroll carries different overhead than Netherlands payroll, for example. We'll quote based on your specific situation, and the quote comes within 24 hours of your request.

Q: What happens when local tax laws or employment rules change?

Regulatory monitoring is part of the service. Your Jackson & Frank specialist tracks legislative changes in their market - contribution rate updates, new statutory entitlements, reporting requirement changes - and updates your payroll accordingly. If a change requires input from you (a new benefit category, an employment contract update), we'll flag it proactively.

Q: Can you manage payroll across multiple countries at once?

Yes. Multi-country payroll is the core use case. You submit data; we manage the local complexity in each country and report back in a consistent summary format. Clients running payroll in 3–10 countries simultaneously is typical.

Q: How long does payroll onboarding take?

For most clients, we're running the first live payroll cycle within 2–4 weeks of engagement. The timeline depends on the number of countries, the complexity of your current setup, and whether any local registrations need to be completed. We'll confirm a realistic timeline as part of your quote.

For companies with legal entities in Europe and Asia. You submit payroll data. A Jackson & Frank specialist in your market handles calculations, tax filings, statutory contributions, and payments - every cycle, every country.

Is payroll the right service for you?

Payroll services and EOR are both for international employment - but they're for different situations. Two minutes here saves both of us time.

Payroll is right if

You already have a legal entity in the country
You want to remain the employer on record
You need someone to handle payroll calculations, tax filings, and statutory payments
You're running payroll across multiple countries and the complexity is building

You might need EOR instead if

You don't have a local entity yet
You want to hire compliantly in a new market without registering a company first
You need to get someone started quickly without setting up a legal structure

Why companies choose Jackson & Frank for international payroll

Specialists in your markets - not a rules engine

Jackson & Frank holds legal entities and employs in-country payroll specialists across 17+ markets. Your payroll in Germany is handled by someone who processes German payroll every month - a person who knows when the BVG contribution rates change, when a collective agreement updates, and what the local tax authority expects.

No new system for your team to learn

SaaS payroll platforms create work before they remove any. New portal. New login credentials. Integration with your HRIS. Your HR team learning new workflows. That onboarding effort is real - and it comes before you've processed a single payroll run.

With Jackson & Frank, your team keeps working the way they already do. Submit payroll data in the format that works for you - a spreadsheet, an HRIS export, whatever your current process produces. We take it from there.

In the background, we run payroll on leading local systems in each market - platforms built specifically for that country's statutory requirements. Your team never has to touch them.

"This is consistently one of the main reasons companies move to Jackson & Frank from Multiplier or Deel: not dissatisfaction with the product, but with the overhead of being a product user."

Pricing that reflects your actual situation

A flat per-employee SaaS rate sounds simple. In practice, it penalises straightforward payrolls and underprices complex ones. Payroll cost is genuinely different for five employees in the Netherlands versus twenty across Germany, France, and Spain.

We quote based on your specific markets, employee count, and payroll complexity. The quote comes within 24 hours. No commitment required.

Our payroll specialists operate where you do

Real entities. In-country specialists. Not a local partner network - we hold our own entities and employ our own people in each market.
