Payroll Setup Checklist

Objective: Automate payroll across 150+ countries — with full legal compliance, zero spreadsheet chaos, and real-time visibility into your financial obligations.

  1. Set Your Global Payroll Rhythm
“If you’re still paying contractors manually or wiring funds through your bank — you’re scaling with handcuffs on.”

Inside Deel or Multiplier: • Choose your global payment schedule: monthly, biweekly, or custom • Select your primary payment method (ACH, Wise, SEPA, SWIFT) • Set default payout currency per hire (USD or local) • Assign roles for finance, ops, and contract approval

This locks in payroll predictability for you — and trust from your team.

  1. Automate Tax, Contributions, and Payslips
“In-country taxes. Employer contributions. Government filings. Done.”

With Deel or Multiplier, you get: • Auto-calculated tax withholdings for each country and worker • Built-in employer contributions for pension, insurance, and healthcare • Payslips issued in local languages and currencies • Full audit logs and downloadable reports for legal, finance, or board review

You’re not just paying people — you’re operating globally with confidence and compliance baked in.

  1. Sync Payroll With Your Financial Ops
“Deel or Multiplier becomes your global finance backend — not just a payment processor.”

You can: • Export payroll summaries into QuickBooks, Xero, or your FP&A stack • Filter data by department, region, cost center, or employment type • Forecast future payroll obligations with real-time visibility • Send finance-ready reports to your accountant or CFO in one click

This is CFO-grade clarity — without the headcount.

Pro Tip: Create a monthly finance ritual — pull payroll + burn rate into a Notion dashboard so every team lead sees their people cost and cash runway in real time.
