Managing payroll is a complex task regardless of your company’s size. When your team spreads out during an expansion, various factors further complicate payroll management.
International banking practices, nonworking holidays, time zones, and currency exchange rates present unique problems for companies expanding to new countries. Those intricacies can lead to late and inaccurate paychecks, which dissatisfy your employees and put your company at risk. Late and incorrect compensation can even have monetary fines. In extreme cases, a country can revoke your company’s business license.
Globalization Partners can help. We have an experienced legal team and in-country experts that understand the details of local payroll regulations.
Unlike many other countries, Dominica does not charge a payroll tax. Instead, withholdings go toward social security benefits. The amount required for employer and employee contributions depends on whether a worker is employed with redundancy or not.
All wages and withholdings are subject to inspection. As an employer, you’re responsible for keeping accurate documentation of your payroll.
Your company can handle payroll in four ways:
Before you can establish payroll, you must register your company with the Inland Revenue Division (IRD) and complete the required forms. Doing so makes your company eligible for a tax identification number (TIN). Beyond keeping accurate documentation, you also need to file annual returns.
Once you submit your registration and articles of association, you should choose the payroll management option that meets your company’s needs.
Mandatory notice periods are negotiable within the employment contract. If you terminate the contract at-will and forgo the agreed-upon notice period, you must pay the wages the employee would have earned during the notice period. In addition, the employee is entitled to compensation for unused vacation leave.
When you work with Globalization Partners, we eliminate the need to set up your own payroll. Instead, we add your employees to our compliant option. Our global PEO — also known as Employer of Record — model allows us to hire your employees, enabling them to work for you.
We use purpose-built software to ensure accurate, punctual payroll that complies with local regulations. Plus, our legal team, in-country experts, and support staff are available to resolve issues and offer informed advice.
Payroll management is just one of the compliance solutions our global PEO services handle. We can work with you to simplify your global expansion every step of the way. Growth is exciting and profitable — waiting to set up a subsidiary and navigating compliance issues are not. Leave those tasks to us and focus on your company’s future.
