Key takeaways
- Omni payroll runs compliant payroll in 19 countries, including 16 markets across Asia Pacific plus the US, the UK and the UAE, all from one all-in-one HRIS and multi-country payroll platform.
- Every entity, currency and statutory scheme sits in one system, with access controls that let you decide who sees which country's payroll data.
- You choose how hands-on to be: run payroll yourself in Omni, hand it to our managed payroll team, or hire through our employer of record (EOR) and contractor services where you don't have an entity yet.
Growing across borders is exciting. Paying people across borders is where many HR and finance teams start to feel the strain.
Each new country brings its own currency, tax rules, social security schemes, filing deadlines and payslip requirements. Singapore has CPF. Malaysia has EPF, SOCSO and EIS. The Philippines has SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and a mandatory 13th month pay. Add a few more markets and you can end up managing a different vendor, spreadsheet and set of deadlines for every entity.
Omni's multi-country payroll brings all of it into one place. In this guide, we cover what Omni's multi-country payroll includes, the 19 countries where you can run payroll with us today, and how a multi-country pay run works from start to finish.
What is Omni multi-country payroll?
Omni multi-country payroll is the payroll engine inside Omni, our all-in-one HRIS and multi-country payroll platform. It lets you calculate, review and run payroll for employees in multiple countries and entities from a single workspace.
Because payroll lives in the same system as your employee records, leave, attendance and expense claims, the inputs flow in automatically. You spend less time chasing spreadsheets and more time checking that every number is right.
With Omni payroll, you get:
- Localized payroll for 19 countries, with each country's statutory contributions, income tax and reporting built in
- Multi-entity, multi-currency support in one system, with role-based access so each team sees only the entities they manage
- Automated gross-to-net calculations that pull in leave, overtime, claims and allowances
- Payslips and statutory reports generated for every pay run, ready for employees and local authorities
- AI-powered analytics through Mino, our AI agent, so you can ask questions about payroll costs and headcount in plain language
- Flexible service models, from self-run payroll software to fully managed payroll, EOR and contractor payments
Benefits of running multi-country payroll with Omni
Every entity in one system
Omni brings all your entities, currencies and pay schedules into one platform. Your regional HR lead can see every country at a glance, while your Malaysia payroll admin sees only Malaysia. Access controls let you carve out exactly who can view, edit and approve each entity's payroll.
The result: one source of truth for headcount and payroll costs, with the privacy each team needs.
Local compliance built into every pay run
Every country we support comes with its statutory rules configured, from Singapore's CPF and Skills Development Levy to Indonesia's BPJS and Hong Kong's MPF. When contribution rates, wage ceilings or tax brackets change, we update the platform so your next pay run reflects the new rules.
Our payroll specialists are based in our key Asia markets and employed directly by Omni. When a regulation shifts, you have someone on the ground who understands what it means for your team.
Payroll that runs on your existing HR data
Manual payroll inputs are where most errors creep in. In Omni, approved leave, attendance records, overtime and expense claims feed straight into payroll. Gross-to-net calculations update automatically, and you review the results before anything is paid.
Your team saves hours every cycle, and employees get accurate pay on time.
The service model that fits your team
Every company grows differently, so Omni payroll comes in the form that suits you:
- Payroll software: your team runs payroll in Omni with full control over every step
- Managed payroll: our specialists process payroll for you, and you review and approve
- Employer of record (EOR): hire and pay employees in countries where you don't yet have an entity
- Contractor payments: onboard and pay contractors alongside your employees
You can mix models across countries and switch as you scale. Many teams start with EOR in a new market, then move to Omni payroll once they set up a local entity.
Insights you can act on
Payroll data tells you a lot about your business. Omni's dashboards consolidate payroll costs across entities so leadership can track spend by country, department or team. With Mino, our AI agent, you can ask questions like "How did our Philippines payroll cost change this quarter?" and get an answer in seconds.
A platform that scales with you
Whether you're paying 200 people in one country or 2,000 across ten, Omni grows alongside you. Add a new entity, country or pay group without rebuilding your workflows. Omni supports teams across 200+ countries, so your HR platform keeps pace with every new hire.
Security for your most sensitive data
Payroll holds some of your most confidential information, so we protect it with the same rigor you'd expect from a global enterprise platform. Omni is ISO 27001 certified, SOC 2 compliant and GDPR compliant. That means your employee and payroll data is handled to internationally recognized standards for security, availability and privacy.
Within the platform, role-based permissions control who can view, edit and approve each entity's payroll. Audit trails record every change, so you always know who did what and when.

Steps to running multi-country payroll with Omni
With Omni, a multi-country pay run follows the same simple flow in every country. Here's how it works:
- Set up your entities. Add each legal entity, its currency, pay schedule and statutory registrations. Assign payroll admins and approvers for each one.
- Let your HR data flow in. Approved leave, attendance, overtime, expense claims and compensation changes sync into payroll automatically, so there's nothing to re-enter.
- Review gross-to-net results. Omni calculates pay, statutory contributions and tax for each employee using the rules for their country. Flag and fix any exceptions before you approve.
- Approve and pay. Once approved, Omni generates payslips, bank payment files and statutory reports for each entity, ready for disbursement and submission.
- Track costs across countries. Payroll data feeds straight into your Omni dashboards, giving leadership a consolidated view of people costs across every entity.
Prefer to hand it off? With managed payroll, our specialists take care of steps 3 and 4 for you. You simply review the summary and approve.
