PAYROLLING
PAYROLLING OR SALARY HOSTING
What is Payrolling or also called Salary Hosting?
The salary hosting is a legal framework allowing any individual (consultant-freelancer) to propose his/her services to a client company without being a registered independent or having its own company.
The payrolling provider, as The Business Harbour, employs the resource person and provides it to the client company.
The consultant-freelancer receive very month a payslip with all legal deductions.
This legal framework also allows a company (the client) to quickly use the services of a consultant, without having the administrative constraint inherent to traditional recruitment of an employee. The corporate-client only receives a single invoice to pay every month.
