SD Worx established the Payroll Services Alliance together with Aditro. This partner network is active in 28 European countries. It is the very first pan-european payroll solution to offer a consistent cross-borders service. All the partners in the network are leading payroll services providers in their home market. The current partners in the Payroll Services Alliance include: SD Worx (Western Europe), Aditro (Northern Europe), Cintra (UK and Ireland), Elanor (Central and Eastern Europe), Seresco (Southern Europe) and Trianon (Switzerland). The Payroll Services Alliance works on the basis of a single contract. We set up cross-border service models within this alliance which are designed to give you the same high quality standards across Europe. You can be confident that your payroll in the Czech Republic or Spain, for instance, meets the same quality standards as in Germany. We offer the same service package across national borders. For example, you can define a contract in which we take care of all your declarations to the authorities. Our partnership under the Payroll Services Alliance implies that we work according to one and the same philosophy and gather the same data in different countries, whilst we can rest assured that we can rely on quality support services.

We use different levels of payroll outsourcing: from SaaS to Managed Payroll Services and Comprehensive Payroll Services. In each of these cases, we guarantee high service standards, anywhere in Europe. Depending on your needs, we provide only payroll services or a comprehensive service package.

You are probably familiar with the following situations Multiplicity of local laws and regulations Problems with interfaces Laborious consolidation of strategic reports A patchwork of processes, policies and wage packages Time-consuming management of partners and contracts Hidden costs
A few examples Suppose you have a branch in the Netherlands and another in Germany, and two smaller sales offices in Spain and Hungary. You are currently working with several payroll providers, but you would like to further streamline your payroll across national borders. We set up one single contract for these four countries. The implementation process is integrated, and you are assigned a dedicated contact person who coordinates your payroll, in close cooperation with reputable local experts. Your contact helps you resolve simple legal matters, but for more complex issues such as split payroll, he/she directs you to our Tax & Legal experts. Every quarter, your employees waste a lot of time preparing reports to allow you to monitor your strategic personnel data in Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. We make sure that you can issue all the reports in one single click. In addition, you can contact us if you have any questions on international employment. You do not have a legal entity in Belgium, but you are about to post one or more employees there. We take care of the assignment on your behalf, and ensure that you don t lose any sleep because of all the extra work involved in this limited foreign employment. You have employees posted abroad and want to integrate your international wage policy in a single policy? Our Tax & Legal experts help you achieve this goal, taking into account the legal regulations which differ from country to country. Specific remuneration methods can be applied to minimize the impact of international employment on the net income of your employees. Our consultants discuss all of this with you in advance, and - if desired - ensure that everything is implemented smoothly in the payroll.
