In this episode of "Why Western Payroll Logic Breaks in Asia," I delve into the complexities of payroll as we explore the critical insights from the report "The Asia-First Payroll Reality." Many Western companies mistakenly extend their standardized payroll systems into Asia, only to face compliance nightmares due to the region's diverse regulatory environments. I discuss the pitfalls of the "extension mistake," the need for a local-first approach, and how crucial it is to respect the intricate local laws. With a focus on the differences in payroll cycles, tax calculations, and the importance of embedded compliance, this episode offers actionable insights for businesses looking to navigate the Asian market successfully. Tune in to ensure your global expansion strategy is not just compliant but also effective.
