Work and teams are becoming more distributed and global. This trend was highlighted in the 2019 Workplace Intelligence Report. As a result, we’ve seen growth of existing global payroll providers, and some new emerging market entries. Payroll, while a basic requirement for running a business, is not a basic endeavor. Tax and compliance regulations vary by country, region, state and province, and even by city and town. While technology exists to enable global payroll, employers require guidance and consulting as they begin to consider global expansion whether via acquisition of talent or mergers & acquisitions. The latest to secure a significant round of funding in this category hails from Dublin, Ireland. Immedis has raised $28.2 Million USD for global expansion.
