Compandben SA is an HR Consultancy which assists companies expanding internationally - see the  website www.compandben.com The company carries out salary and benefit surveys, produces employee handbooks and benefit statements, employment contracts, advice on labour law, advice on international share plan administration,  company registration that sort of thing.

One of the services offered is to put companies in touch with outsourced payroll administrators. There has been a marked rise for this service since the implementation of Sarbanes Oxley legislation in USA. The "Compandben International Payroll Network" has been developed over the last 5 years and there are now "Payroll Partners" in over 100 countries. Compandben clients have 180 payrolls running in over 60 countries. In addition Compandben has a network of "Employment Services Providers" in 25 countries. These companies employ staff and put them at the disposition of the client. This is useful when clients do not want to set up any kind of registration or "presence" in a country till they have tested the market.

The typical client is a British or  American company, with one or two new employees in a country, doing sales,  product support or marketing. They usually initially do not have limited companies or branches set up in the country into which they are expanding. At the same time they  want the employees paid correctly with social charges deducted etc. The countries in the "Payroll Network" obviously include UK and USA!
