GLOBAL WORKFORCE SERVICES

From the first hire to everyday operations.

Bring HR, finance, and technology into the same conversation. Select the services you need, with local delivery and responsibilities defined for your engagement.

01 / EMPLOYER OF RECORD

A local employment route for your international team.

Assess a local-employer arrangement where you do not have an employing entity. Define the contract, payroll, statutory benefits, and employee-support responsibilities before the hire starts.

02 / GLOBAL PAYROLL

A coordinated payroll operation across locations.

Bring payroll calendars, approved inputs, funding, reconciliation, and reporting into a shared process. For your own entities, payroll administration supports the employer responsibilities you retain.

Discuss global payroll ↗
03 / CONTRACTOR ENGAGEMENT

A considered approach to independent work.

Review the engagement model, statement of work, onboarding requirements, invoice approvals, and payment process. Classification depends on the working relationship and local rules, not just the agreement’s title.

04 / BENEFITS & EMPLOYEE SUPPORT

Make the employment experience easier to navigate.

Coordinate statutory requirements and available supplementary benefits, leave processes, employee questions, and escalation routes. Confirm eligibility, provider options, and renewal responsibilities by location.

05 / ONBOARDING & TRANSITIONS

Plan the handoffs around every employee move.

Align offer acceptance, documentation, start-date readiness, payroll entry, and access provisioning. For transfers or exits, define the approvals, employee communications, final-pay inputs, and local review needed.

Discuss onboarding & transitions ↗
06 / WORKFORCE SYSTEMS & INTEGRATION

Connect people operations with enterprise technology.

Scope the links between HR, finance, identity, service desks, and payroll providers. Agree the source of truth, data fields, access boundaries, change ownership, and exception handling for each interface.

START WITH THE RIGHT MODEL

Employment, payroll, or independent work?

The right route starts with your entity footprint and the actual working relationship. A service name alone does not determine the legal arrangement.

THE NAXT DELIVERY APPROACH

Clarity at every handoff.

A workforce engagement needs an operating plan as well as a contract. Our approach connects the decisions made before a hire with the work required after their start date.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Country, role, working model

    Map hiring locations, headcount, compensation, desired start dates, and your existing entities. Separate employment needs from payroll-only requirements.

  2. 02

    Validate

    Local feasibility & responsibilities

    Confirm the proposed employing entity, partner involvement, engagement restrictions, right-to-work requirements, and the division of responsibilities.

  3. 03

    Prepare

    Commercials & employee readiness

    Agree the service scope, cost breakdown, contracts, documentation, benefits, payroll calendar, funding arrangements, and onboarding dependencies.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Payroll & employee support

    Run agreed input checks, approvals, query handling, reporting, and change control. Assign named owners for routine work and exceptions.

  5. 05

    Evolve

    Growth, changes & transitions

    Review performance and capacity as the team changes. Plan role changes, location moves, provider transitions, and exits with the appropriate local review.

What the engagement plan should make clear

  • Named employing or payroll entity and partner responsibilities
  • Service scope, exclusions, owners, and escalation paths
  • Country-specific onboarding and payroll dependencies
  • Data access, reporting, service measures, and exit arrangements

PAYROLL OPERATIONS

A repeatable process behind every pay cycle.

Good payroll operations depend on approved inputs, clear deadlines, and traceable decisions. Align the local processing requirements with the way your finance team works.

01

Collect & validate

Capture agreed salary changes, variable pay, leave, and expense inputs. Identify missing approvals and exceptions before the cut-off.

02

Review & approve

Assign responsibility for payroll review, variance checks, local calculations, and final authorization.

03

Fund & process

Agree funding deadlines, payment responsibilities, currencies, and banking dependencies with the designated provider.

04

Reconcile & report

Check the processing outcome, resolve discrepancies, and provide the agreed finance and workforce reports.

Filing obligations, statutory payments, payslips, exchange-rate treatment, and correction procedures are allocated explicitly in the service agreement.

WHERE NAXT ADDS VALUE

Workforce operations connected to your enterprise.

Global teams create handoffs between people systems and business systems. We bring NAXT’s enterprise engineering perspective to those connections, so the workforce service fits the way your organization operates.

Employer costs
Applicable contributions, taxes, and mandatory provisions.
Benefits
Statutory requirements and selected additional benefits.
Service fees
EOR, payroll, or coordination fees for the agreed scope.
Funding & currency

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Make the next decision with confidence.

These are general service explanations. The proposal and country-specific review establish the arrangements for your team.

What is an Employer of Record?

An Employer of Record, or EOR, is the legal employer under an agreed local employment arrangement. It typically administers employment contracts, payroll, and statutory employment obligations, while the client directs day-to-day work. The exact responsibilities and permitted model depend on local requirements and the contract.

How does NAXT deliver these services?

NAXT works with global partners to shape and coordinate the engagement. Before onboarding, we confirm the local employing or payroll entity, partner roles, support arrangements, and contractual responsibilities. The delivery model is documented for the countries and services selected.

Which countries can NAXT support?

Share the countries, roles, headcount, and intended start dates in your enquiry. We confirm current service availability and local delivery arrangements before providing a proposal. Support for one country or service does not imply that every workforce service is available there.

What is the difference between EOR and payroll services?

An EOR arrangement identifies a local entity to act as the legal employer. Payroll services calculate and administer pay for an existing employer. Outsourcing payroll does not itself transfer the employment relationship or all employer obligations.

Can we bring existing employees or contractors into the arrangement?

A transition starts with a review of the current relationship, contracts, employee communications, continuity requirements, and local process. Contractor-to-employee changes and employer transfers need individual assessment. We agree a transition plan before making commitments to workers.

How long does onboarding take?

Timing depends on country feasibility, documentation, contract review, right-to-work checks, benefits setup, and payroll cut-offs. We establish the target date and dependencies during discovery rather than promise a universal onboarding time.

Does EOR remove every employment or tax risk?

No. An EOR is an employment model, not a blanket exemption from local rules or business obligations. Employment, tax presence, intellectual property, data protection, and immigration questions may need separate specialist review for the proposed arrangement.

Are recruitment and immigration services included?

Candidate sourcing, background screening, equipment logistics, visa support, and immigration advice are separate scope items. Tell us what you need; availability, qualified-provider involvement, timelines, and fees must be confirmed in the proposal.
