Ensuring efficient and compliant payroll, HR administration, and mobility management is a challenge for companies of all sizes—especially in Korea, where employment laws, social insurance requirements, and tax regulations are highly detailed and frequently updated. Providing seamless support to employees, contractors, secondees, and inbound or outbound assignees requires deep local expertise and well-designed processes.
Managing these functions in-house across multiple jurisdictions can be time-consuming and complicated. Employers face risks such as non-compliance, payroll errors, administrative burdens, and potential penalties. Outsourcing these tasks allows your organisation to focus on business priorities while maintaining accuracy and compliance.
