Overview
With youthful populations, rapidly expanding economies and a very attractive cost base, more businesses are seeing operations expand in to the APAC region. Whichever one of these dynamic economies you decide to enter, payroll requirements must be one of the core business responsibilities that must be planned for. Whilst withholding obligations are minimal in some countries these are replaces by strict reporting requirements. Getting this wrong will cost the business much in terms of time, risk to the organisation's reputation, and financial penalties. Some knowledge of the rules is essential to allow for effective management of an outsource provider.
Who is this course for?
This course is aimed at those Payroll & HR Professionals who are processing or managing Vendors who process APAC Payrolls and need to have an understanding of the legislative and legal requirements involved.
