The collaboration is intended to provide solutions that deliver flawless outcomes for customers and their employees, whilst dealing with the complexities, compliance needs, and process and reporting demands of today’s complicated and rapidly changing global employment markets.

Jason Allen, CEO of activpayroll, remarked: “activpayroll proudly represent customers in over 150 countries and a key strategic pillar is executing market leading solutions with like-minded partners. activpayroll and Zalaris make a very powerful combination and we are delighted to be teaming up at this time.
