Payroll is so special because payroll is always local, there are no global set rules. This is one of the core areas a provider needs to deliver on and where you have to be adaptable to constantly changing local legislation. Not a lot of players in the market can then deliver on top of that, pan-country standardisations, data processes and systems, and governance — and that’s the added value of ADP.
