Papaya Global is a workforce management and payments platform for companies with people in many countries. It runs payroll through its own platform and partners, offers employer of record services, pays contractors, and handles cross-border workforce payments.
Papaya runs payroll through a network of in-country partners, and employees are paid in their local currency with payslips in their own language. A built-in compliance engine, which Papaya says is AI-powered, acts as an automated safety net. Business intelligence reports show workforce spending in real time, including the gap between gross and net cost for each employee. Papaya built its own payment rails, and you can hold wallets in several currencies that stay in your name.
Papaya aims its platform at finance leaders such as treasurers, finance managers and CFOs, and at companies whose workforce mixes employees, EOR workers and contractors. The EOR service lets you hire in a new country without setting up a local entity, while Papaya’s DCE handles payroll, financial, legal and compliance matters. Papaya notes that opening your own local entity can make more sense when you have chosen to expand into that country.
Papaya says its system works with workforce tools you already use, including NetSuite, Workday and BambooHR, and it can push required data into your ERP. Through its Integration Center, you can import HR data by CSV from any HRIS, sync data through pre-built APIs, or build custom APIs with help from Papaya’s integration experts. For payroll questions, Papaya points customers to its Center of Excellence, and its in-house experts give ongoing support during onboarding.
