Global multi-country payroll

Ramco for AU/NZ payroll: global reach, local depth to confirm

Ramco is a global multi-country payroll platform operating across 150+ countries – built for breadth across jurisdictions, worth testing directly against AU award/EBA and NZ Holidays Act complexity.

Ramco's core positioning is multi-country payroll consolidation across 150+ countries, which suits multinationals that need one system of record across many jurisdictions.

For organisations whose payroll complexity is concentrated in Australia and New Zealand, the relevant question is how deep Ramco's local award interpretation and Holidays Act handling is compared to a platform purpose-built for those two markets specifically.

As with other global multi-country platforms, pricing and roadmap reflect breadth across many countries, so it's worth testing Ramco against your actual AU/NZ scenarios before committing.

Why AU/NZ enterprises evaluate alternatives to Ramco

  • Built for multi-country breadth across 150+ countries, not AU/NZ-specific depth
  • Award/EBA interpretation and Holidays Act handling worth testing directly
  • Pricing reflects global platform scope, even for AU/NZ-only requirements
  • Best fit for multinationals consolidating many jurisdictions, not concentrated AU/NZ operations

Affinity: 40+ years of AU/NZ payroll – 500,000+ employees processed, ISO 27001 certified, single AU/NZ database.

What's involved in moving off Ramco?

Moving AU/NZ payroll off Ramco usually means deciding which countries stay on a multi-country platform and which move to a local one.

  • Countries outside AU and NZ – which payrolls stay on Ramco and which move, if you consolidate on a local AU/NZ platform
  • Ramco Payce configuration – the award, super and Payday Super setup in Ramco Payce, documented before it's rebuilt
  • Time and HR modules – the Ramco time, workforce and HR features you use beyond payroll, and where each will live
  • Year-to-date balances and STP – earnings, tax and super for the year to date, so STP continues without duplicate income statements
  • Parallel runs and timing – how many pay cycles to run side by side, and whether to switch mid-year or at 1 July

Build agreed before you commit, two parallel pay runs minimum, and most projects reach first go-live in 3–4 months (indicative) – how Affinity migration works →
