Oyster’s in-house legal and HRBP team works side-by-side with regional experts, building local payroll knowledge and insights directly into the platform. ‍Our platform then takes care of all payroll requirements, including tax calculations and withholdings, expense reimbursements, and payroll reports. Our payroll specialists ensure each payroll cycle is completed accurately and on-time while adhering to local regulations.

Implementation timelines vary based on a few factors such as country, migration from another provider, and the need to do a parallel payroll run. Our onboarding success team will work with you to create a clear roadmap for you and your team.

When evaluating international payroll providers, data security and privacy are non-negotiables. At Oyster, protecting your personal data is a top priority. We incorporate data security into software development using GDPR and SOC 2-compliant internal practices and localized intellectual property models.

An employer of record (EOR) legally employs workers on your behalf and is responsible for all aspects of employment. You can use an EOR to engage talent in countries where you don’t have an entity.

Global payroll helps you manage payroll and pay your own employees in countries where you have a business entity. When using global payroll, you remain responsible for all aspects of employment.

Once you meet with your account manager and finalize the details, our onboarding team will work with you to create your company entity in the Oyster platform, facilitate the setup process, and offer information sessions for your team. After that, a country-specific payroll specialist will process your payroll data, prepare reports, and handle your payroll updates and queries. Our customer support team will also be available to answer any questions and offer guidance.

Paying your direct employees' salaries, local taxes and statutory payments depends on country-specific regulations and customer preference. There are countries where Oyster is able to execute part or all of the payments on your behalf. Likewise, there are countries where the customer has to execute the payments directly.
