International Payroll Integration, Control & Operations

SAS&co manages payroll for Israeli companies with employees in several countries from one point of contact, working on the company’s existing systems and platforms. We coordinate local payroll providers in each country, check every payslip and report before payment, and connect payroll data to finance and HR.

International companies usually ask SAS&co for five things: implementing a payroll system or a new provider, writing payroll SOPs and work processes, designing and running SOX controls, analyzing existing payroll systems and data flows, and running monthly payroll operations across countries. The work is done on the company’s own systems, in Israel and globally.

Yes, SAS&co implements payroll systems in Israel and globally: requirements, vendor selection, data mapping, pay code setup, integrations with HR and finance, testing, parallel runs and go live. This includes Israeli systems such as Hilan and Michpal, and global platforms such as Papaya Global, Deel, CloudPay, ADP and Workday.

A payroll SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) is a written step by step procedure for each payroll process: data intake, calculation, review, approval, payment and reporting. A global company needs SOPs so every country works by the same standard, knowledge does not depend on one person, and auditors can see how the process works. SAS&co writes SOPs, RACI and payroll calendars based on how the company actually works.

SOX controls in payroll are checks that make sure payroll is accurate, approved and documented, as required by the Sarbanes Oxley Act for US listed companies and their subsidiaries. They include segregation of duties, maker checker review, approval before payment, reconciliation to the general ledger and a full audit trail. SAS&co designs payroll SOX controls, documents them and prepares the evidence for internal and external auditors.

Yes, SAS&co builds SOX controls and any other payroll controls a global company needs, for every country where it has employees, not only Israel. This includes control design and documentation, review of every payroll before payment, variance analysis, reconciliations, segregation of duties and approval flows, on the company’s existing systems and with each local provider. For an Israeli entity of a US listed group, the controls are also aligned with the group’s SOX framework and supported through SOX testing.

A payroll system analysis by SAS&co maps the existing systems and the data flows between HR, payroll and finance, checks pay code setup and calculation logic, and identifies gaps, manual work and risks. The output is a findings report with prioritized recommendations: what to fix, what to automate and what to change in the process. It suits companies in Israel and global groups before a system change, an audit or a growth stage.

Yes, global payroll can be managed through one provider. SAS&co centralizes payroll across all countries and coordinates all local payroll providers, including SLAs, one payroll calendar and consolidated reporting.

Yes, SAS&co reconciles payroll to the general ledger every month: payroll liability accounts, employee receivables, accruals and payments to authorities and funds. Gaps are explained and corrected before close, which supports both the monthly close and the audit.

Yes, SAS&co provides consolidated global payroll reports by country, entity and cost center: payroll costs, benefits, headcount, FTE and KPIs.
