ADP Payroll Around The World - Payroll in France

Payroll in France

09/13/24 • 25 min

In any global ranking of countries by payroll complexity, France will often occupy the top spot. This is because France offers its residents a high degree of social security, with people entitled to healthcare, a pension scheme, family benefits, and more.

In this episode of Payroll Around the World, ADP experts Carlos Fontelas de Carvalho and Emmanuel Prevost break down the inner workings of French payroll, explain why France is a lucrative destination for businesses despite the complexity, and share their insights from years of experience on the ground. We also speak to Rachel, a Paris-based expat from the U.K. who shares her experience of trying to decipher her first French paycheck.

Payroll in Australia

With strong connections to Europe, the Americas and Asia, Australia has many opportunities for growth in both established and untapped markets. Changing regulations, especially in areas such as inclusive parental leave, additional leave for volunteer firefighters, as well as a crackdown on wage theft, make for an exciting payroll landscape.

In this first episode of Payroll Around the World, we explore the world of payroll down under. ADP experts Kylie Baullo and Graham Coutts share their expertise with listeners and provide detailed insight into what makes payroll unique in Australia, including new leave laws, why wage theft is such a serious issue in the country, and the need to adapt to rapidly changing legislation. We also speak to Peter, who lives and works in Tasmania and recently became a father, about how Australia’s newly expanded parental leave laws allow him and his wife to raise their family without either one having to put their career on the back burner.

Payroll in India

Any company looking to expand their global reach must have India on their radar. With a population of over 1.4 billion people, it’s the world’s most populous country and well on the path to becoming the world’s fourth-largest economy. The country is also very young: 65% of India’s population is under the age of 35. This demographic has shaped work trends on the ground, with a strong emphasis on digitalization and personalizing benefits to meet employee needs. While India presents vast opportunities for multinational businesses, its payroll challenges are unique and require local expertise.

In this episode of Payroll Around the World, we travel to India to explore the world of payroll in this economic powerhouse. ADP experts Rahul Goyal and Ramesh Dayalan share their expertise on running payroll in India and give listeners detailed insight into what multinationals need to know about work and pay in the South Asian country. This includes understanding the compliance regulations around Aadhaar, the world’s largest biometric ID system, and the growing trend of offering employees personalized benefits packages. We also speak to Sindhu, a single mother who’s had to make some career changes in order to accommodate her children’s needs.
