Company Updates

Year One: Laying the Foundation

In our first year, Playroll hit the ground running, quickly becoming a trusted leader in global compliance. With the VAT IT Group's 25 years of experience backing us, we entered the market as seasoned experts who understood the challenges businesses face when hiring internationally.

We’re competitively priced and built on VAT IT’s two decades of global hiring expertise. We weren’t starting from scratch—we knew the issues and used our wealth of knowledge to address them head-on. The question was: If not now, when? With the infrastructure, expertise, and passion in place, it was time to power global compliance with Playroll."

Brendon Silver, Co-Founder, Playroll

By launching our Employer of Record (EOR) and Contractor Management services, we aimed to disrupt the market with a seamless blend of technology and service. Our user-friendly platform and customer-first approach positioned Playroll as a human-centered solution designed to enhance the global employment experience from day one.

‍

Year Two: Expanding Our Global Footprint

In our second year, Playroll truly hit its stride, deepening partnerships with businesses of all sizes worldwide. We became a trusted ally, helping companies manage international teams while navigating the complexities of ever-changing local regulations.

Reflecting on this milestone, Brendon Silver, Co-Founder of Playroll, shared, “One of our proudest moments was successfully migrating a client from a competitor and securing our first customer with over 50 employees. Today, we're thriving across multiple regions and doing it with excellence.”

Year two was marked by significant growth. We introduced integrations with top HRIS platforms like BambooHR and HiBob, launched our Open API, and expanded our reach to over 110 countries. With thousands of employees and contractors now relying on our platform, we enhanced our services by rolling out localized benefits tailored to meet the growing demand. This year was all about scaling our vision and increasing our impact on the global employment landscape.

Year Three: Redefining What's Possible

At three years strong, Playroll is redefining the global employment landscape with a perfect balance of product innovation and human-centered excellence. We've truly come into our own, supporting businesses in over 180 countries and seamlessly onboarding thousands of employees and contractors.

We're showing our customers that you can trust your external HR provider completely. We care deeply about their success, respond quickly, and stay dedicated to their needs. EOR was just the beginning—global payroll is next!

Playroll isn’t just keeping up with the industry—we're leading it, driving the future of global employment through innovation, care, and unwavering commitment. The journey has just begun!

Looking Ahead: The Journey Continues

As we celebrate three years of Playroll, we’re not just reflecting on our successes—we’re charging full speed ahead into the future. With the confidence gained from our past milestones and the lessons we’ve learned along the way, Playroll is poised to continue reshaping the global employment space, pushing boundaries, and innovating like never before.

Reflecting on the company’s growth, Erez shared: 'Our journey has been like building a championship team, with everyone playing their part and putting in the work. While it's rewarding to see how far we’ve come, what excites us most is the potential that lies ahead.'

Success in business comes down to one simple formula: find the best talent, share a clear and inspiring vision, and then empower them to achieve it in their own unique way. When you give great people the freedom to use their skills, the possibilities are endless.

What exactly goes into your employee costs? This is a crucial question for employers to answer for accurate financial reporting. Playroll’s product team is happy to announce that employers are now able to download more detailed breakdowns of deposit calculations for their invoices. 

What Are Deposit Breakdown Reports?

It’s a new feature we’ve rolled out on the Playroll platform that provides a detailed breakdown of deposit calculations, including:

• Gross salary
• Allowances
• Employer contributions
• Currency conversion details

Employers can export these reports for each deposit invoice they pay when adding an employee to the platform. 

Why We Built It

With this update, we want to improve transparency around deposit calculations, so there are no surprises when it comes to your employee costs.

Where To Access Your Deposit Breakdown

Users can access the deposit breakdown from the customer portal’s Payment History page. Navigate to the Deposits tab – on the right, you can download your report as an Excel sheet. Simple as that!

FAQs: 

Will I be able to share these reports with other users?

Absolutely! Admin Users can share these with Billing Contacts that aren’t platform users and may require this breakdown.

What is Gross Pay?

Gross Pay refers to the total amount of money an employee earns before any deductions are made, such as taxes, social security contributions, and other benefits or savings plans. Learn more here.

Why it's Good for Our Users

The Referral Program offers significant benefits to our clients. By participating, users can earn a $300 voucher for every successful referral. This initiative not only provides a financial incentive but also helps users share the benefits of Playroll with their network, enhancing their overall experience and satisfaction.

How to Use It

Using the Referral Program is straightforward:

1. Navigate to the bottom left of the navigation panel and click the “Referral Program” button.
2. Fill in the referral form with the required details, such as the referral's contact information.
3. Once the referral becomes a paying customer—meaning they have an employee and at least one month of payroll has been processed—you’ll receive a $300 voucher.
4. After submission, you’ll see a thank you window and can review the terms and conditions of the program.

So, Who Can Make a Referral?

All users of Playroll’s Platform are welcome to make a referral!

What is a Successful Referral?

A successful referral is one where the company that you have referred signs an agreement with Playroll, onboards its first employee, and pays that employee its first salary. Once the first salary is paid to that employee, you will receive your voucher. You will be entitled to one voucher for each successful referral, irrespective of how many employees are employed by that client through Playroll.

Managing finances effectively is crucial for any business. Playroll is happy to announce our latest feature, designed specifically to streamline customized invoicing. But what does this mean for your company, and how can it enhance your financial management?

Customized Invoice Management

Imagine this: instead of a single, bulky invoice for all your employees, you now have the option to receive multiple, neatly organized invoices either by team or by territory. How does this work? Let's dive in.

Utilize our app's team feature to group employees into distinct teams. These can be based on project, department, or any other internal structuring.

Territories Covered: Options include various global regions such as South Africa, United Kingdom, France, etc., allowing for geographical financial management.

Why This Matters: This feature is a direct response to multiple client requests for more granular control over invoice management. 

Why the popularity? Because it simplifies data segmentation and departmental budget reporting, making life easier for companies that operate across diverse teams or territories.

Accessing the Simplified Invoicing Feature

So, how can you start reaping the benefits of this innovative feature? Here’s a quick guide:

1. Request Access: The billing contact needs to request access through their Customer Success Manager (CSM).

2. Receive and Manage Invoices: Once access is granted, multiple invoices per team or territory will be emailed monthly to the billing contacts.

3. Download and Organize: Access these invoices easily by clicking the three dots on the right side of the row in the app and downloading a consolidated file.

This is where you will see an example of how the invoices are displayed in the app, providing a clear, user-friendly interface for your financial management needs.

Introducing Time Off And Attendance Management Improvements For Employees And Employers Alike

With Playroll's new updates, employees and employers can gain visibility in their leave allotments. Previously, Playroll didn't provide employees the ability request leave when their balance was negative. We realize this didn't give flexibility needed. As a result, we launched these updates to account for the full complexity of time off requests.

Now, you're able to:

• Backdate leave that was taken in the past
• Apply for leave even with a negative balance
• View the breakdown of your accrued leave (see image below)
• Get territory-specific entitled starting balances (pro rata)

Is it time to schedule your 2024 holidays yet? Playroll’s product team is happy to announce its upgraded Leave Management system to help everyone plan smarter for the rest of the year! 

What has changed?

• Leave can now be backdated: Employees can apply for leave that was taken in the past, and rest assured that our algorithm knows which period this leave applies. 
• No restrictions on leave applications: Playroll’s system will no longer prevent any leave applications from being made based on the employee’s existing leave balance. Prior to this update, employees were not able to go into a negative leave balance. In the new system, the decision to approve or decline the leave is now entirely up to their manager. Please note that if an employee goes into negative balance, we will always carry this balance forward, where the employee’s continuous leave accrual will make up for the deficit. 
• Accuracy: To keep track of every employee’s leave balance in over 180 territories, we’ve needed to develop a custom algorithm with perfect accuracy - which now we have. With improved accuracy, you can now rely on Playroll’s Leave Management System! 
• Starting Balances: Employees can now have starting balances greater than zero, where necessary.
• Greater transparency with more granular information: The screenshot below is an example of what Playroll employees and their managers will see when reviewing leave balances.

Annual Leave Page View On Playroll

Your accrued leave balances can be found on the employee dashboard under My leave.

Annual Leave Key

1. ‍Annual Entitlement: How many days of leave the employee is entitled to per leave period. Leave periods are the time span over which leave is provided for a single year. Periods have different starting dates from one territory to the next. The two most common are from January 1st - December 31st, and from the employees start date to one year into the future.‍
2. Carried Over Leave: The amount of leave that has been carried over from the previous leave period to the current leave period.
3. ‍Deducted Leave: The amount of leave that has been deducted from the employee’s leave balance for the current year (previous deductions are accounted for in “Carried Over Leave”). Deducted Leave includes all approved and pending leave, and excludes all declined and cancelled applications. 
4. Leave To Date: The live running balance of leave on the employees’ account is now visible and increases daily as the employee accrues time off. This value is what will be used to calculate leave payout upon termination. 
5. Leave Balance: The amount of leave the employee has for the current leave period. Leave Balance = Leave Entitlement + Carried Over Leave - Deducted Leave. Important to note: we include the employee’s entitlement in this balance. Thus, if an employee begins employment on January 1st 2024 with an entitlement of 20 days, their balance will be 20 days. 

How Employees Can View Their Annual Leave

The “My Leave” page, as always, provides the employee’s entitlement, pending leave, and current leave balance. However, employees can now see a detailed calculation of their leave by clicking on “Details”, as demonstrated in the video.

‍

How Employers Can View Their Team's Leave Details

Employers will still see leave applications on the portal under Leave → Requests. However, now they will be able to see a more detailed breakdown of the employees' balance when reviewing applications by clicking on “See Details”.
