About Papaya Global
Papaya is a cloud-based solution, which assists multinational businesses with managing global payroll, cross-border payments, and contractors. Key features include cost breakdown analysis, data security, benefits administration, and records management. The integrated suite offers tools for hiring, onboarding, managing, and paying employees in one end-to-end solution.
The Papaya platform helps users streamline the hiring process across multiple countries and jurisdictions using a third-party Employer of Record (EoR), as well as manage classification and payments for domestic and foreign contract workers. It enables the collection of employee documentation on country-specific forms and sends alerts to employers for documents when review is needed. Plus, managers can automate payroll processing in multiple currencies and monitor workforce spending on a centralized dashboard.
Papaya offers integration with third-party HR and ERP systems including Concur, Workday, BambooHR, NetSuite, Expensify, and more. It allows teams to maintain compliance by storing workers' forms, invoice templates, documents, and report formats as per the needs of each country or jurisdiction. Besides, workers can receive their payslips in their native language through a secure portal.

Our overall experience has been very positive and Papaya is a platform we regularly recommend to other HR teams.
Pros
The platform itself makes it very easy to administer payroll changes across our global workforce and have full visibility of this. It has cut down on payroll administration and was also a substantial cost reduction in administering EOR services compared to previous vendors. The customer support team is friendly, quick to respond and communicate progress well particularly during onboarding stages.
Cons
Only a minor point but as we expand into more regions the separate invoicing process will become more of an administrative burden and we'd love to explore ways to consolidate this as much as possible.

My experience can be summed up with two words; "extreme disappointment". We have bene using the system since around May of 2021 for one country with 15-25 employees. The first three payrolls were a mess, where employees did not receive payment in time, exposing my company to liability. Further, payments required by law to social security, etc., were also mishandled for about 2 months. I honestly do not understand how Papaya can service a multinational like Microsoft, with probably thousands of employees all over the world, when they cannot handle 15-25 employees in one country. The worst part, is that the contract asks for a 12 month notice if you wish to end the business relationship. I strongly encourage all potential customers to read the small print so you do not become a hostage to such a strict condition.
Pros
I am not sure there is any feature I "like the most".
Cons
I find many aspects cumbersome. It is often confusing to navigate through the website and many times not all information fits in the screen. I have to scroll forever to get all info/data, even if there is more than enough space in my screen for all data to show. Sometimes, I cannot even get tot he last record, unless I select "50" records to show at a time. I often also see data overlapping on top each other, further increasing the frustrations of using the system. When I click on a "project" (a specific country location), if I go from one payroll tab to another, the system automatically assumes I am now in the "project" that is first in alphabetical order. I am also unable log in with a saved link or bookmark in my browser. I always have to go back to my original email and click on the sign on button in the email. The user experience overall is not a good one.

Papaya Global is awesome overall. It's expensive though. The management fee is sometimes as high as one person's salary. But representatives are responsive.
Pros
The platform is very straightforward. And Papaya is always optimizing the system.
Cons
(1) Expense folder - I sometimes want to delete the items I uploaded, but this feature is not available. I made a request to grant the authority a while ago, but it's not there yet. (2) System error recovery is slow. When there is an issue and I report it by providing all the screenshots and explanations, it still takes a long time to fix the problem. (3) It's just really painful when I check invoices since I go over each item, and there is usually a mistake the employer or Papaya made. So I really have to carefully check each invoice, which is a lot of work.
