IRIS and Western Union team up to offer global payroll services Accounts
IRIS Software Group has teamed up with Western Union Business Solutions to offer simplified global payroll and payments solutions worldwide.
In an international partnership that will span five years, the deal aims to meet growing demand for international cross-border payroll and currency payments, particularly for organizations that have a global workforce.
Demand is increasing for more integrated payroll solutions that can not only handle salaries but cover finance, HR and other vital business operations on a global scale. IRIS will combine its own specialist skills in payroll, benefits, payments and HR solutions with Western Union Business Solutions, which handles the logistics involved in sending, receiving and managing international payments.
IRIS FMP is already well-versed in covering international payroll, benefits, payments and HR solutions, with the company claiming approximately 20% of the UK’s workforce is paid by its payroll offerings, while 90% of the global workforce is covered by IRIS HR and payroll solutions.
Meanwhile, Western Union Business Solutions claims similar high global coverage, with a presence in 200 countries and territories around the world.
