Payroll Outsourcing

Administrative Personnel Management

Proper management in payroll processing, social security, social benefits, and withholding taxes mitigates the risk of non-compliance with current labor and tax regulations in Colombia related to this process. Our service approach represents savings, information security, and regulatory compliance for your company.

Our service is part of an effective internal control system, which includes: segregation of duties, information security, technology-based controls, supervision, and monitoring of control compliance.

Our service approach

We are partners with our clients, integrating the expertise of our specialized team, robust and cutting-edge technological tools, and strong knowledge in labor, social security, and parafiscal matters, tax regulations, processes, and internal control.

We rely on a service methodology that allows us, from the outset and together with our client, to plan, understand, build, and execute an alternate process that ensures the effectiveness of the service transition and recurrence for the company and its employees. We are willing to continuously review the project's progress and adjust to the company's needs.

We provide a self-management tool, where employees can access online, on their mobile phones, tablets, or PCs, pay stubs, employment certificates, income and withholding certificates, vacation records, severance certificates, and self-manage vacation requests and absenteeism notifications.
