The duration of the payroll implementation process typically ranges from 1 to 3 months, with various factors influencing the timeline. These factors include the number of employees being onboarded and the complexity of the countries involved in the payroll setup. The implementation process involves several key steps to ensure a seamless transition to the new payroll system:
1. Meeting with Stakeholders: The process begins with a meeting involving key stakeholders to review requirements, discuss expectations, and align on the desired "go-live" date for the new payroll system.
2. Data Collection and Migration: This step involves gathering all relevant payroll data from existing systems, ensuring its accuracy and migrating it to the new payroll platform.
3. Employee Onboarding: Employees are onboarded onto the new payroll system, including setting up their profiles, tax information and payment details.
4. Shadow Payroll: A shadow payroll may be run in parallel with the existing system to validate the accuracy of calculations and ensure a smooth transition.
5. Payroll Configuration: The payroll system is configured to meet the specific needs of the organization, including setting up tax calculations, deductions and compliance requirements.
Helios differentiates itself by handling global payroll services directly in over 125 countries, without customers need to engage local third-party providers. This streamlined approach significantly accelerates the implementation process compared to other providers, ensuring a quicker and more efficient transition to the new payroll system. By eliminating the complexities associated with third-party involvement, Helios can expedite the implementation timeline and deliver a seamless payroll solution tailored to the unique requirements of each client.
Ensuring the security of personal employee data is a top priority for Helios. To achieve this, we implement robust security measures, including state-of-the-art protocols like SSL encryption, two-factor authentication, ISO 27001 certification, GDPR compliance, and are actively working towards obtaining our SOC 2 certifications. Furthermore, our dedicated security team maintains round-the-clock vigilance to monitor our systems for any potential threats or vulnerabilities.
Helios maintains compliance with tax and labor laws across various countries by leveraging a team of local specialists spanning over 125 countries. These experts continuously monitor and stay abreast of local laws and regulations to guarantee adherence. As an added layer of assurance, our local experts conduct payroll and tax compliance reviews concurrently with the filing of your local payroll tax returns. Moreover, all tax returns filed on your behalf are uploaded into your payments module for your convenient access and review.
With Helios, you have the flexibility to run payroll on a monthly, semi-monthly, or bi-weekly basis, and you can initiate off-cycle pay runs as required. Unlike some other payroll services, the frequency of payroll runs is determined by you, the client, as long as it aligns with local regulations, which Helios is equipped to help you comply with.
While traditional payroll companies typically handle payroll processing before passing it on to an external third party, Helios is actively engaged in every aspect of the payroll process, closely monitoring payroll data throughout the entire cycle.
This deep involvement enables us to conduct comprehensive simulations of payment delivery, identifying and addressing any potential obstacles that could otherwise increase costs or lead to delays.

Establishing payment processes for international contractors involves distinguishing between traditional employee payroll methods and contractor payment procedures. While employees are typically paid through payroll systems, contractors are external vendors, and their payments are akin to standard vendor invoices. When engaging international contractors, organizations can utilize various payment methods such as bank wires, credit cards, money transfer services and freelance platforms to facilitate timely and secure payments.
It is essential to correctly classify international contractors and adhere to the local regulations of the country in which they are located in to avoid potential compliance issues. Partnering with a third-party provider specializing in global payment solutions helps organizations to select the most suitable payment method for international contractors and ensure accurate and compliant payment processing.
By leveraging expert guidance and tailored payment solutions, organizations can streamline the payment process for international contractors, maintain regulatory compliance and foster positive relationships with their global workforce.

Helios takes charge of all payroll processing and management tasks for their clients. This encompasses everything from calculating employee wages and taxes to processing payroll, producing pay stubs, and submitting tax forms to the relevant authorities. In contrast, standard payroll processing usually involves the employer carrying out most, if not all, of these responsibilities internally, using either manual or automated systems.
The fundamental distinction between fully managed payroll and standard payroll processing lies in the extent of employer involvement and accountability. With fully managed payroll, the employer can delegate the entire payroll process to the payroll service provider, which oversees every aspect from initiation to completion. This arrangement can free up valuable time and resources for the employer to concentrate on other facets of their business operations.

To process global payroll, you need to have a system in place that accounts for local regulations, employee compensation and benefits, and cultural considerations. Normally, the easiest way to handle all this is by outsourcing these tasks to a third-party provider with the necessary expertise in place. One way to verify this expertise is by working with an intermediary provider that can accurately vet and analyze the provider’s performance.
When setting up payroll for global employees, organizations must weigh the options of establishing a local entity in a new jurisdiction or leveraging Employer of Record (EOR) services based on factors such as expansion budget, operational efficiencies and compliance requirements. Additionally, considerations around foreign exchange rates, tax implications, and regulatory nuances in each country should be part of the decision-making process.
By strategically evaluating these factors and leveraging the right payroll solutions, businesses can effectively manage global payroll operations, foster employee satisfaction, and support sustainable expansion into new markets.

Protecting against international payroll fraud necessitates implementing stringent security measures. To safeguard your payroll operations, it is crucial to train employees on data security best practices, restrict access to sensitive information, segregate payroll duties within your team and implement robust cloud security protocols. Additionally, outsourcing payroll functions to a reputable software provider, such as Helios, can enhance security and efficiency.
Before entrusting your payroll processes to a third-party provider, you need to ensure the platform meets stringent compliance standards, offers robust audit trail capabilities, employs data encryption protocols and holds relevant certifications to safeguard private payroll data.
At Helios, stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) processes are in place for all customers, including billing entities, owners, executives, contractors receiving payments through the platform, local directors and entities involved in payroll processing.
