SESAY / Payroll services

Build Your Own Offshore Payroll Function

Create a capable team that belongs to your business.

Built around your payroll function.

For organisations that want to own their offshore operation while drawing on practical Australian payroll experience.

What the service can include

  • Team structure, role design and capability assessment
  • Recruitment and assessment support where agreed
  • Training and development using your systems and scenarios
  • Process documentation, review standards and escalation pathways
  • Ongoing coaching, capability reviews and continuous improvement

Clear responsibilities

Your business owns the employment arrangements, system access and final decisions. SESAY supports the agreed build and development work; recruitment, systems implementation and ongoing support are separately defined.

A considered transition

Design the function → assess people and gaps → build the playbook → train and practise → supervised delivery → develop internal coaches.

Agree the scope before the first pay run

Define employee numbers, pay frequencies, entities, locations, awards or agreements, payroll and time systems, reporting, historical issues and cut-off times. Document who prepares, reviews, approves and releases each output.

Can this support HR and Finance as well as payroll?

Yes. The scope can include an HR change register, payroll queries, workforce cost reports and a shared escalation process. Access to personal information is limited to authorised responsibilities.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing depends on complexity, service coverage, capacity and transition requirements. The website cost comparison is a fictional planning example, not a SESAY quote.

What should we prepare for a discussion?

Bring a non-identifying payroll summary: workforce size, pay frequency, systems, locations, current team and the problems you want to solve. Do not send employee files through public channels.

Start with a clear brief.

Use the planning checklist to capture your needs, risks and responsibilities.
