Global Payroll That Works Across Borders

Global payroll is the process of paying employees accurately and compliantly across multiple countries, each with its own tax laws, currencies, benefit requirements, and filing deadlines. Unlike domestic payroll, each country requires separate tax registrations and filings, currency conversion and FX risk must be managed, and labor law compliance requirements vary by jurisdiction and are frequently updated — often quarterly. Dhi ADT runs payroll across 50+ countries.

No — if you use ADT's EOR service, you don't need a local entity at all. If you already have entities, ADT's global payroll service processes payroll compliantly on your existing structure.

• EOR + Payroll: ADT is the legal employer and processes payroll — no entity needed.
• Payroll only: ADT processes salary, taxes, and filings for your registered entity.
• Supports multi-entity structures across 50+ countries from one dashboard.
• Handles local currencies, payment methods, and statutory deductions automatically.

Dhi ADT manages payroll in line with country-specific tax rules, statutory contributions, and filing deadlines, updated as laws change. Compliance obligations vary significantly by country, and getting them wrong is costly — which is why country-specific expertise, not just automation, is built into every payroll run.

• Netherlands: loonheffing calculated and filed with the Belastingdienst each cycle; employer social contributions (AOW, WW, WIA, ZVW) total approximately 18–22% of gross salary, according to the Belastingdienst.
• Belgium: NSSO contributions, averaging approximately 25% of gross salary according to the NSSO, filed alongside the mandatory Dimona declaration within 24 hours of every new hire.
• Germany: Sozialversicherung contributions across five insurance systems, with the statutory pension contribution rate at 18.6% of gross salary (split 9.3%/9.3% between employer and employee), according to the Deutsche Rentenversicherung.
• UK: RTI submissions to HMRC every pay cycle, with P60s generated at year end.
• Certified: SOC2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR-compliant, with full audit trails generated for every payroll run.

Payroll errors in foreign countries can trigger tax authority audits, employee claims, and statutory fines. For example, a missed Dimona declaration in Belgium carries a fine of approximately €600 per infraction, according to the NSSO. Dhi ADT mitigates this through automated validations, role-based approvals, and dedicated country compliance specialists who review filings before they're submitted.

• Automated validations before every payroll cycle runs.
• Role-based approvals and segregation of duties.
• Complete audit trails accessible at any time.
• Dedicated country compliance specialists who review filings.

Yes. ADT's global payroll lets you pay employees in their local currencies while managing your entire international payroll in one centralized system.

• Netherlands: loonheffing filings, annual wage statements.
• Belgium: NSSO quarterly declarations, Dimona filings.

Audit-ready records stored securely, with an employee self-service portal for payslips and tax documents.

For EOR-based payroll, Dhi ADT can run the first payroll cycle within 48 hours of employee onboarding — no local entity required. For companies with an existing legal entity in a new country, payroll setup typically takes 3–7 business days, depending on local registration requirements.

Setup runs in parallel across four steps: employee data onboarding, local entity verification (where applicable), payroll cycle configuration per country, and the first payroll run within the agreed cycle. Because Dhi ADT's compliance infrastructure is pre-built across 50+ countries, there's no waiting for local bank account setup or tax registration from scratch — the framework is already in place before your first employee is added.
