Navigating Payroll Challenges in Mergers and Acquisitions

Payroll management refers to the process of handling employee compensation, taxes, and benefits accurately. During mergers, acquisitions, or business successions, this task becomes more complex and error-prone—raising risks of HMRC penalties, incorrect tax filings, and employee dissatisfaction. While hiring in-house payroll specialists is one way to manage the transition, engaging Employer of Record (EOR) services can streamline compliance, ensure seamless payroll migration, and reduce disruption during structural business changes.
