Payroll in Brazil

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, October 16, 2024 • Duration 27:24

Brazil is South America’s largest economy and has traditionally relied on agriculture and manufacturing, but sectors such as e-commerce are also starting to thrive. While this makes Brazil an attractive market for multinational businesses looking to gain a foothold in the South American continent, they’ll also need to contend with challenges surrounding the country’s rapidly changing legislative landscape and the prevalence of sector-specific unions, with the latest figures registering 8.4 million people as union members in jobs such as fast food restaurant employees, hotel cleaning staff, and bakery employees.

In this episode, we’re joined by ADP experts Beatriz Neves and Luiz Bernabe, who give us their best tips on navigating the country’s union landscape and dealing with rapidly changing laws, which can often come into effect retroactively. We’ll also talk about the role ADP Brazil’s own legal team plays in advising the government on legal changes, and how they help clients stay compliant. In addition, we speak to Jocinete, a hotel maid in São Paulo who’s a union member that represents hotel workers.

Payroll in the United Kingdom

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, September 13, 2024 • Duration 27:53

The United Kingdom is a crucial launchpad for international businesses, with a globally renowned financial sector and home to the world’s most widely used legal system. While this makes the U.K. an appealing destination for multinationals, payroll professionals must also be aware of the country’s complex minimum wage and holiday pay laws as well as rapidly changing regulations.

We’re joined by ADP experts Sirsha Haldar and Ben May as they guide us through common compliance pitfalls and U.K. payroll regulations in this episode of Payroll Around the World. We’ll cover how minimum wage in the United Kingdom isn’t just about paying someone the correct hourly amount, and how holiday pay can quickly become confusing for seasonal and part-time workers. We also speak to Roberto, a minimum-wage employee at a cinema in London who takes on various roles at his job, which leads to regularly switching between different pay categories.

Payroll in India

Season 1 · Episode 3

Friday, September 13, 2024 • Duration 34:22

Any company looking to expand their global reach must have India on their radar. With a population of over 1.4 billion people, it’s the world’s most populous country and well on the path to becoming the world’s fourth-largest economy. The country is also very young: 65% of India’s population is under the age of 35. This demographic has shaped work trends on the ground, with a strong emphasis on digitalization and personalizing benefits to meet employee needs. While India presents vast opportunities for multinational businesses, its payroll challenges are unique and require local expertise.

In this episode of Payroll Around the World, we travel to India to explore the world of payroll in this economic powerhouse. ADP experts Rahul Goyal and Ramesh Dayalan share their expertise on running payroll in India and give listeners detailed insight into what multinationals need to know about work and pay in the South Asian country. This includes understanding the compliance regulations around Aadhaar, the world’s largest biometric ID system, and the growing trend of offering employees personalized benefits packages. We also speak to Sindhu, a single mother who’s had to make some career changes in order to accommodate her children’s needs.

Payroll in France

Season 1 · Episode 2

Friday, September 13, 2024 • Duration 25:15

In any global ranking of countries by payroll complexity, France will often occupy the top spot. This is because France offers its residents a high degree of social security, with people entitled to healthcare, a pension scheme, family benefits, and more.

In this episode of Payroll Around the World, ADP experts Carlos Fontelas de Carvalho and Emmanuel Prevost break down the inner workings of French payroll, explain why France is a lucrative destination for businesses despite the complexity, and share their insights from years of experience on the ground. We also speak to Rachel, a Paris-based expat from the U.K. who shares her experience of trying to decipher her first French paycheck.

Payroll in Australia

Season 1 · Episode 1

Friday, September 13, 2024 • Duration 24:32

With strong connections to Europe, the Americas and Asia, Australia has many opportunities for growth in both established and untapped markets. Changing regulations, especially in areas such as inclusive parental leave, additional leave for volunteer firefighters, as well as a crackdown on wage theft, make for an exciting payroll landscape.

In this first episode of Payroll Around the World, we explore the world of payroll down under. ADP experts Kylie Baullo and Graham Coutts share their expertise with listeners and provide detailed insight into what makes payroll unique in Australia, including new leave laws, why wage theft is such a serious issue in the country, and the need to adapt to rapidly changing legislation. We also speak to Peter, who lives and works in Tasmania and recently became a father, about how Australia’s newly expanded parental leave laws allow him and his wife to raise their family without either one having to put their career on the back burner.

Payroll around the world

Season 1

Friday, September 13, 2024 • Duration 03:05

Welcome to ADP Payroll Around The World brought to you by ADP and Storythings!

Running payroll is a massive undertaking that goes beyond issuing paychecks to employees. From adhering to labor laws to staying on top of last-minute legislative changes, payroll is no casual undertaking for multinational companies seeking to make their mark across the globe. That’s why the more global you are, the more crucial it becomes to truly understand your chosen locations' local rules, regulations, and customs. Running payroll in India will be very different from running payroll in Brazil or France.

So, we’ve created ADP Payroll Around the World to be your go-to guide for in-depth analysis and expert compliance insight into the world of work and pay, with each episode focusing on a different country. Every episode features ADP experts who live and work in the location we’ll be highlighting.

In this series, we’ll be heading to Australia, India, France, the UK and we’ll also touch down in the USA, Brazil, Germany, and many other international destinations. You’ll also hear from local people who share their experiences with work and pay. Because, at the end of the day, payroll is about people.

After all, for payroll to be truly global, it needs to be local as well.

Payroll in China

Season 1 · Episode 8

Wednesday, January 15, 2025 • Duration 28:28

China may no longer hold the title of the most populous country in the world—that distinction has now gone to India—but its 1.4 billion citizens and a GDP of around 18 trillion US dollars still make it a political and economic powerhouse. From the manufacturing and tech sectors to green energy and services, China offers vast opportunities to multinational businesses, but the unique payroll challenges should not be underestimated.

In this episode of Payroll Around the World, we’re joined by ADP experts Lily Ma and Junbin Li as they guide us through some of China’s most important labor laws and compliance issues, as well as local regulations. We’ll discuss China’s sophisticated social insurance system, the varying rules across its provinces and cities, and the mandatory Public Housing Fund, a housing allowance for workers that both employers and employees contribute to. We also hear from Dongdong, a teacher in Shanghai, who tells us her personal experiences with the housing fund and how she and her husband used it to purchase a home.

Payroll in the United States

Season 1 · Episode 7

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 • Duration 36:43

With a gross domestic product of just over 28 trillion U.S. dollars, the United States continues to hold the title of the world’s largest economy. However, businesses coming to the United States must be aware of the fact that its 50 states effectively operate like 50 separate countries, each with its own labor laws, taxation requirements, and regulations. This can make compliance a bit tricky for multinationals, especially when employing people across various states.

We’re joined by ADP experts Dawn Wautier and Chris Acostandei as they guide us through common compliance pitfalls and explain what employers need to keep in mind when employing people across various states. We’ll also cover how healthcare benefits and retirement plans work in the U.S., and discuss how ADP’s team handles frequent legal changes, a common phenomenon in the country. We also speak to April, a nurse who lives in Florida but works in California, about the bureaucratic and financial challenges she faces when navigating her working arrangement.

Payroll in Germany

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 • Duration 29:19

Germany is Europe’s largest economy and a popular destination for investors, who appreciate its strategically central location and its history as a strong exporter nation. Known as a leader in engineering and manufacturing, it particularly relies on small and medium-sized businesses to drive growth and innovation. The country is also considered to be quite employee-friendly and has a robust social insurance system that’s also reflected in the complexity of its payroll.

That’s why running payroll in Germany requires a deep knowledge of employee rights—such as the role of workers’ councils—and government regulations. We speak to ADP experts Thomas Zimmerman and Johannes Schwarzer, who share their insights and create an in-depth picture of work and pay in Germany. We also catch up with Manuel, a teacher in Berlin who’s currently in the process of forming a workers’ council with his colleagues.

Spain is one of the fastest-growing economies in the Eurozone, with tourism, agriculture, and renewable energies being the most prominent industries. Ibiza, Mallorca, Barcelona, and Málaga—the islands and cities along the Mediterranean coast are beloved destinations for all those seeking some fun in the sun. Every year, seasonal workers travel to the country’s southern coasts and islands to work in the countless hotels, bars, and restaurants that cater to the rush of tourists. The prominence of seasonal workers can present significant payroll challenges that employers should be aware of.

In this episode of Payroll Around the World, we’re joined by ADP experts Marcela Uribe and Barbara Gomez. They’ll talk us through the ins and outs of processing payroll in Spain, including the rules around employing seasonal workers and how social security contributions affect payroll cycles.
