Several entities, several currencies, several sets of absence rules: Illizeo handles multi-country at the organisation level. Each country’s employment law stays with the payroll producer.
What is genuinely multi-country in Illizeo #
| Need | In Illizeo |
|---|---|
| Several legal entities | Sub-companies, with their own settings |
| A different currency per entity | Currency is set globally or per sub-company |
| Country-specific absence rules | Predefined absence-type sets, importable per country |
| Public holidays per country and region | Holiday import, by calendar |
| Separate payroll per country | One period and one file per scope, grouped to your setting |
| Exchange rates | Available, but on the expense side: current rates, historical rates, conversion |
Step by step #
-
Create one sub-company per legal entity #
It is the building block that carries the currency and lets you separate payroll scopes. Creating it after the fact means reassigning everyone one by one.
-
Set the currency at the right level #
Global if you are single-currency, per sub-company otherwise. This setting determines the currency of the entity’s payroll amounts; it converts nothing.
-
Import the country’s reference data #
Absence types and public holidays load from predefined sets rather than being typed in. It is the highest-return part of multi-country configuration.
-
Group the payroll sheet by entity #
The period’s grouping is configurable: by sub-company, office or department. For multi-country, group by whatever matches your payroll producers.
-
Send each producer their own scope #
One file per country, dated and versioned. That is also what lets you track each partner’s quality separately.
What does not exist #
No specific handling of cross-border workers: no split rule between country of employment and country of residence, no remote-work threshold tracking, no liability determination. No withholding tax computed, including by canton. No automatic salary conversion between currencies. No multi-currency consolidation of the wage bill.
FAQ #
So how do we handle a cross-border worker?
As an employee of the entity that employs them. Liability and withholding rules are handled by the payroll producer in the country of employment; Illizeo does not arbitrate them.
What about tracking remote days abroad?
There is no counter dedicated to the cross-border threshold. If you need that tracking, it is built outside the tool.
Can we compare two countries’ wage bills?
Each scope gives its own, in its own currency. The reconciliation happens outside Illizeo, at whatever rate you choose.
Are exchange rates used for payroll?
No. They belong to the Expense reports module, to convert a spend incurred in another currency.
