Hiring globally is no longer just about finding talent—it’s about managing different employment models efficiently, compliantly, and at scale. Today’s organizations work with a mix of full-time employees, contractors, and PEO/EOR hires spread across multiple countries. Managing each model through separate systems creates operational silos, compliance risks, and unnecessary overhead.

This is where Papaya Global stands out.

Papaya Global supports all major global employment models through a single automated global payroll platform, allowing companies to manage their entire international workforce without switching systems.

Why Managing Multiple Employment Models Is So Challenging

As companies expand internationally, they often face:

  • Different payroll rules for employees and contractors

  • Separate vendors for payroll, EOR, and payments

  • Manual compliance checks across countries

  • Limited visibility into global workforce costs

  • Increased risk of worker misclassification

These challenges slow down hiring, increase costs, and expose businesses to regulatory risk—especially when systems aren’t designed to work together.

A unified platform is no longer optional. It’s essential.

Papaya Global: One System for Every Global Workforce Model

Papaya Global supports all major employment models—without switching systems.

Companies can manage employees, contractors, and PEO/EOR hires from a single dashboard, using standardized workflows and automated compliance checks across every country.

This unified approach allows HR and finance teams to operate faster, reduce errors, and scale globally with confidence.

Automated Global Payroll for Direct Employees

For companies with local entities, Papaya delivers automated global payroll software designed for accuracy, compliance, and efficiency.

Key capabilities include:

  • End-to-end payroll processing

  • Automated tax calculations and statutory deductions

  • Payments to employees, authorities, and benefits providers

  • Local tax filing support

  • Standardized payroll workflows across countries

  • Real-time payroll reporting and analytics

Instead of managing payroll country by country, teams get one consistent process—globally.

Global Contractor Management Without Compliance Risk

Hiring contractors globally provides flexibility, but misclassification can lead to serious penalties. Papaya Global simplifies contractor operations while protecting businesses from risk.

With Papaya, companies can:

  • Onboard contractors with localized contracts

  • Validate invoices automatically

  • Pay contractors in multiple currencies

  • Centralize contractor data and reporting

  • Assess classification risk and receive recommendations

This ensures contractor payments are accurate, compliant, and on time—without manual tracking.

PEO / Employer of Record (EOR) for Rapid Global Expansion

When companies want to hire in countries where they don’t have a legal entity, Papaya’s PEO/EOR solution removes the barriers.

Papaya acts as the legal employer and manages:

  • Employment contracts

  • Payroll and statutory benefits

  • Local labor law compliance

  • Employment liability

  • Ongoing workforce administration

This allows companies to enter new markets quickly—without months of entity setup.

Intelligent Automation That Removes the Manual Burden

Papaya’s automated global payroll software is built to replace manual work with intelligent workflows.

The platform delivers efficiency through:

  • Automated payroll workflows that eliminate manual calculations

  • AI-powered validation that checks payroll accuracy before processing

  • Automatic compliance updates as tax and labor laws change

  • One consolidated dashboard for all payroll and workforce data

For HR and finance teams, this means fewer errors, faster payroll cycles, and better planning.

Embedded Global Payments Built for Payroll

Unlike traditional payroll tools that rely on banks and intermediaries, Papaya includes built-in global payment infrastructure designed specifically for workforce payments.

Benefits include:

  • Faster international transfers (instant in many countries)

  • Virtual wallets to optimize cash flow

  • Transparent FX rates and fee forecasting

  • Full-value salary payments with no hidden deductions

  • Payments delivered under your company’s name

This ensures employees, contractors, and authorities are paid accurately and on time—every cycle.

  • Companies hiring across multiple countries

  • Remote-first and distributed teams

  • Businesses using a mix of employees and contractors

  • Enterprises consolidating global payroll vendors

  • HR and finance teams seeking automation and visibility

Not designed for companies operating solely in one country with no global expansion plans.
