What Is Horizons Global Payroll?

Global Payroll is a centralized solution that allows companies to manage payroll for employees in multiple countries through a single platform. Instead of juggling local providers and regulations, you get:

• Consolidated payroll operations across regions
• Compliance with local laws and tax requirements
• Standardized reporting and visibility for all countries

How Does Global Payroll Differ from Horizons EOR?

While both services help businesses operate globally, they serve different purposes:

• Horizons Global Payroll: You already have legal entities in the countries where you employ staff. We handle payroll processing, compliance, and reporting for those employees.
• Horizons EOR: You don’t have a legal entity in a country. Horizons becomes the legal employer on your behalf, managing employment contracts, compliance, and payroll.
