In this episode of WTF Podcast | HR Forte, I delve into the complexities of global payroll software and why it often fails in Asian markets. While payroll might seem straightforward, the nuances of Asian regulations reveal a different story. I explore the pitfalls of systems that claim to "support" Asia versus those genuinely "built for" it, highlighting the risks of relying on generic rule engines that require manual overrides. We discuss the critical importance of native fluency in handling complex statutory calculations and the legal implications of non-compliance. Join me as I uncover the architectural differences that can turn payroll software from a functional tool into a liability, emphasizing the need for systems that prioritize compliance as a foundation, not just a feature.
