Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How do outsourced payroll services work in Vietnam?
Outsourced payroll services involve engaging a third-party provider, like BoardRoom, to handle your payroll processes. This includes salary calculations, tax filings, and contributions to social, health, and unemployment insurance. Partnering with a trusted payroll outsourcing provider helps ensure your employees are paid on time, and your business remains compliant with the Vietnam Labor Code and Tax Department requirements.
2. How do I choose the right payroll and HR service for my business?
When it comes to payroll and HR services, it’s important to understand that different businesses require different solutions. The best way to find a solution that fits your business is to first identify your needs. Will you need real-time calculations? How about payslips and direct deposits? PIT filings and monthly SI/HI/UI reporting?
By identifying your needs, it will be easier to determine which outsourcing payroll and HR solution in Vietnam can best suit your business. If you need help, feel free to contact our team.
3. What are the pros and cons of outsourcing payroll?
While this will vary for each business, here are some of the more commonly voiced pros and cons of outsourcing payroll to a third-party service provider.
Pros
- Your taxes and contributions (e.g., PIT, SI, HI, UI) will be filed in compliance with local laws
- Outsourcing can be less costly than hiring someone full-time
- Your employees will be paid on time, and your business will be compliant with Vietnamese statutory requirements
Cons
- You could possibly be paying for services that your business doesn’t need
- You’re placing sensitive payroll data in the hands of an external provider
4. Is it more expensive to outsource payroll compared to doing it in-house?
Typically, handling payroll in-house is more expensive than outsourcing. This is because employing an in-house expert can be costly. Aside from mitigating costs from an operational standpoint, outsourcing your payroll can also lower your fixed business expenses by saving on technology infrastructure and implementation, especially since your payroll outsources provider handles compliance and updates.
5. What software do you use for payroll management?
Here at BoardRoom, we use Ignite, an all-in-one solution for payroll management. This software helps businesses of all sizes automate their payroll, enabling them to increase productivity and efficiency.
Ignite HRMS has five core modules: payroll, leave, claims, time clock, and attendance. It offers multi-country payroll processing and ensures full compliance with local statutory obligations in Vietnam and across nine countries in Asia.
6. What is multi-country payroll outsourcing?
Multi-country payroll outsourcing, also known as MCPO, is a service that enables businesses operating in multiple countries and currencies to manage their payroll and adhere to local best practices through a single provider.
MCPO allows standardized reporting and easier cost comparisons between countries. For instance, a company can adopt a common definition of payroll cost, such as Allowance A, B, and C, to compare cost performance across different offices. A sophisticated MCPO software is essential for any company operating in multiple countries, including Vietnam.
Additionally, labor regulations in emerging markets like Vietnam may change frequently. A reliable provider of payroll outsourcing in Vietnam can help you stay compliant.
7. What is the difference between HR and Payroll?
The difference between HR and payroll depends on the business structure.
Payroll refers to processing employees’ pay, including deductions and contributions. HR covers broader responsibilities, such as recruitment, training, and employee relations. In many companies, payroll is a sub-function of HR, but it can also be managed independently or outsourced to a provider specializing in payroll services in Vietnam.
8. What services should payroll outsourcing companies offer?
At a basic level, a payroll outsourcing company should be able to:
- Calculate and process payroll
- Manage salary disbursement
- Handle SI, HI, UI contributions
- Submit PIT filings to the Tax Department
- Provide monthly and year-end reports
- Offer payroll journals and variance reporting
Some companies also provide a proprietary HRMS platform like Ignite or integrate with existing ERP systems such as SAP or Workday.
9. How secure is outsourcing payroll?
Outsourcing payroll can be secure, but it’s important to choose a reputable provider with strong data protection measures.
Look for vendors with recognized certifications, such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2. In Vietnam, compliance with Decree 13/2023/ND-CP on personal data protection is also important. BoardRoom meets all of these standards, so your payroll outsourcing services are managed securely and professionally.
10. How can BoardRoom help with payroll services?
Here at BoardRoom, we have the tools, technology, and experience to help businesses manage their payroll with confidence. From SI, HI, UI contributions to PIT reporting and salary disbursement, we offer full-service payroll services in Vietnam tailored to your needs.
