Here’s why we’re consistently rated as a top global payroll platform:

1. One Platform, 150+ Countries

RR Global Payroll integrates seamlessly with:

  • RR HRIS: Employee records flow automatically into payroll
  • RR EOR: Unified payroll for EOR employees
  • RR Contractor: Run contractor payments alongside employee payroll
  • Your existing HR tools: via API

The RR Global Payroll Process: How It Works

Ready to simplify your global payroll? Here’s how our platform works:

Step 1: Connect Your Workforce

Option A: You already have employees in multiple countries

  • Set up payroll schedules for each country

Option B: You’re hiring through RR EOR

  • Your EOR employees are already in the system
  • Payroll runs automatically based on employment terms

Step 2: Configure Country Settings

For each country, we set up:

  • Tax rules: Rates, bands, allowances
  • Social security: Employer/employee contributions

  • Filing calendars: Deadlines for each authority
  • Payslip format: Local requirements

One-time setup. Ongoing automation.

Step 3: Run Payroll (One Click)
