Expert Shows How to Manage International Payroll

ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The rise of the global economy has brought a surge in the number of companies that have gone "multinational".  This has meant greater opportunities for employers and worker alike.  It has also created numerous challenges for companies who administer payrolls for employees who are far-flung, around the world. A new webinar from BNA on October 4, Managing International Payrolls: What You Need to Know to Ensure Compliance, offered by Bill Delabar, Director with Deloitte Tax LLP's Global Employer Services, will explain the many pitfalls of managing international payroll.
