    FAQs – HR and Payroll Services

    Managing HR and payroll across multiple Asian jurisdictions often brings fragmented systems, non-aligned pay cycles, and confusion around statutory compliance. This is especially true for companies expanding quickly or hiring regionally without a centralized framework.

    We provide integrated payroll and HR administration services—including salary calculations, tax and social security filings, onboarding support, benefits administration, and policy alignment—so businesses can reduce administrative load, avoid compliance risk, and focus on strategic growth.

    asiaadmin® is our in-house, cloud-based payroll and HR administration platform. It’s designed for regional businesses that want visibility across their workforce without managing multiple software solutions.

    Key features include:

    • Multi-country payroll processing and approval flows
    • Employee self-service for payslips, leave, and reimbursements
    • Secure data storage and audit trails
    • Localization for country-specific payroll rules

    Clients can manage HR operations across jurisdictions with a single, scalable tool.

    Companies often need to hire in a new market quickly—before an entity is fully set up. In these cases, using a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) allows you to onboard staff compliantly, without immediate incorporation.

    We offer PEO and Employer of Record (EOR) services across Asia, enabling clients to test new markets, manage short-term projects, or scale teams flexibly while we act as the legal employer of record.

    Payroll compliance is complex and dynamic. Companies frequently encounter issues with late filings, inconsistent tax withholding, or unanticipated regulatory changes—especially when managing payroll remotely.

    Our teams use localized payroll engines and keep track of statutory changes in each jurisdiction. We manage everything from monthly calculations and payslips to tax reporting, ensuring both compliance and confidentiality through secure platforms and internal review procedures.

    Our staffing and recruitment support typically covers:

    • Executive and mid-level recruitment
    • Multi-country hiring coordination
    • HR documentation and onboarding process design
    • Workforce strategy consulting
    • Advisory on compensation trends and local labor expectations

    We also support background checks and offer tools for structured hiring across diverse locations.

    Clients can choose from fully managed or modular HR and payroll offerings. Services may include:

    • Payroll calculation and employee payment coordination
    • Social insurance and individual income tax filings
    • New hire onboarding and exit processes
    • Leave tracking and benefit administration
    • Generation of monthly payroll and compliance reports

    We help configure workflows to meet your internal policies and regulatory needs.

    Hiring in technical roles—especially across borders—often presents challenges with availability, salary benchmarking, and contract compliance. Clients looking for IT or remote operations staff often don’t have in-house teams equipped to recruit across Asia.

    We assist with cross-border sourcing, interview coordination, offer structuring, and regulatory alignment, particularly for tech, finance, and project-based roles.

    Yes. In fact, most clients require some level of customization—whether in reporting, approval cycles, or platform integration.

    We work with companies to define service parameters based on location, headcount, internal processes, and preferred technologies. Whether you're centralizing regional payroll or need one-off support in a single jurisdiction, we tailor the solution accordingly.

    We usually start with a quick discovery call to understand your team size, locations, current processes, and any challenges you're facing. After that, we provide a service proposal with scope, timelines, and cost based on your specific needs—whether it’s a full HR transition or payroll support in a single market.
