Salary is one of the most confidential information in every organization that cannot be revealed to any employees. Generally, the payroll process involves and falls under the responsibility of two departments: the Human Resource (HR), and Finance. However, carrying out a payroll process can be extremely complex, as each employee has different conditions and agreement details, such as income type, over time (OT) rate, commission rate, tax calculation, social security requirements, and other expenses or deductions.
Usually, the payroll or salary calculation is completed through general calculation programs, which have a high risk of miscalculation and mistakes in payment details. In case of miscalculation and other mistakes, companies must bear the negative consequences that may follow, which might severely affect both the company and its employees. Therefore, Payroll Service and Payroll Outsourcing are the instant solutions that many organizations prefer.

FAQ
1. What is Payroll Service/Outsourcing?
ManpowerGroup offers two types of services:
1.1 Payroll Service, which is generally preferred by our clients, is the one-stop service for payroll management. ManpowerGroup will take care of all the processes, including making payment as the “employer” on behalf of the client company.
1.2 Payroll Outsourcing only includes the tax and other expenses calculation service, but the client company will directly make payment to its employees.
Both services offer salary calculation, ranging from OT rate, taxes, social security deduction, to investments in funds (see full details in Item 3). Also, ManpowerGroup will be in charge of collaborating and communicating with all stakeholders as required by the law and company policies.
