Multinational Payroll

Helping FDI companies run their payroll in Ireland for over 50 years…

Companies are becoming increasingly globalised and are recruiting employees from all over the world. While this adds value to a business, it can also bring with it some complexities that are time-consuming.

That is why, when entering the Irish market, most companies prefer to fully outsource their payroll process, in order to reduce costs and lower their risk of not being fully compliant.

We offer specialist support and guidance to multinational companies entering the Irish market and who are recruiting employees in Ireland, or from overseas.

Experience matters...

Jefferson has decades of multinational payroll services experience and expertise for international companies based in Ireland

Ireland has long been a very attractive market for big international global companies looking to expand their business and operations. The Emerald Island is the European hub for many of the leading multinationals with over 1000 top FDI giants from sectors like pharmaceuticals, social media, finance and ICT.

With deep understanding of the specific needs that multinational payrolls demand, we can offer a service that is specific to your business. For example, we can link with many third-party vendor systems to facilitate data flow, integration and reporting.

We also have strict controls, continuous investment in data security, access to special reporting, accurate treatment of complex pay and deductions, and total business continuity and disaster recovery.

“…by outsourcing your payroll with Jefferson, you will keep pace and minimise the impact of rapid changes in payroll software, compliance, standards, and legislation.”

How much does it cost? Is it expensive?

Costs depend on multiple factors, such as how many employees your company has and how frequently you pay them. At Jefferson Payroll, we have a transparent pricing system to match our bespoke payroll services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of multinational clients do you support in Ireland?

We support foreign direct investment (FDI) companies and other international groups with staff in Ireland. Sectors include pharmaceuticals, social media, finance, ICT and more.

Some have large Irish operations; others start with a small local team and grow over time.

We’re opening a new Irish entity. Can you help us get set up?

Yes. We work with both newly arrived companies and established groups expanding into Ireland. Jefferson has a dedicated payroll start‑up service and guides for employers setting up from abroad.

That includes PAYE registration, guidance on payroll norms and elements, and assistance with banking and payment set‑up.

Can you handle more complex pay structures for international staff?

Yes. Multinational payrolls often involve stock plans, allowances, different benefit structures and cross‑border employees. On the multinational page we specifically call out accurate treatment of complex pay and deductions as part of our service.

During onboarding we map these elements into our payroll system so they are processed and reported correctly.
