Overview
ADP Global Payroll is a managed, multi-country payroll offering from Automatic Data Processing (ADP), one of the largest payroll and HR services companies in the world. It combines ADP GlobalView Payroll, which is built on the SAP payroll engine and serves large enterprises in a core set of countries, with ADP Celergo, which aggregates in-country payroll providers to extend coverage. Together they let multinational organizations run payroll through a single platform and consolidated system of record while still meeting local statutory rules.
The service is positioned for large and complex employers that need to centralize payroll operations across many jurisdictions. ADP provides both the technology platform and managed services, with thousands of in-country compliance and payroll specialists who track regulatory changes and handle local filings, currencies, and languages on the employer's behalf.
ADP Global Payroll integrates with major HCM and ERP systems through prebuilt connectors and APIs, so master employee data can flow from systems like SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Oracle, and others into the payroll platform and general-ledger results can flow back into finance systems.
