Payroll Services in the Philippines
End-to-end payroll management that’s accurate, compliant, and built for Philippine labor laws.
Smartual Philippines offers fully outsourced payroll services designed for startups, SMEs, and foreign companies doing business in the Philippines. We ensure your people get paid correctly and on time, and that your company remains fully compliant with all government regulations — no stress, no errors.
Managing Payroll in the Philippines Is Complex — But It Doesn’t Have to Be
Payroll is more than just computing salaries. Employers must calculate government-mandated deductions, pay the correct taxes, comply with labor standards on holidays and overtime, and submit monthly reports to several government agencies.
A single mistake — whether in underpaying taxes or failing to remit SSS contributions on time — can result in stiff penalties, labor complaints, or reputational harm. For small businesses and even large foreign-owned firms, handling this in-house can be risky and time-consuming.
That’s why many businesses turn to Smartual Philippines to manage their payroll. With our team of CPAs, tax specialists, and HR compliance professionals, we take full ownership of your payroll function so you can focus on growing your business — while we ensure every payslip, report, and remittance is done right.
What’s Included in Our Payroll Services
Our payroll outsourcing solution is comprehensive, covering the full payroll cycle — from attendance to payslip to tax filing.
1. Accurate Payroll Computation
We compute employee salaries based on your preferred pay cycle — monthly, semi-monthly, or weekly. Our computations are based on:
- Actual timekeeping data, including hours worked, overtime, and leaves
- Government-mandated benefits and statutory contributions
- Provisions for holiday pay, night differentials, 13th month pay, and allowances
- Compliance with your internal company policies and employee contracts
2. Payslip Generation and Secure Delivery
After each payroll run, we generate itemized digital payslips for your employees. These can be delivered securely through email or made accessible via a cloud-based employee portal.
3. Government Remittances and Reporting
We prepare and process all required filings and payments to:
- SSS (Social Security System)
- PhilHealth
- Pag-IBIG
- Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) – including withholding tax returns, BIR Form 1601-C, and BIR Form 2316 We also handle the Alphalist preparation and year-end annualization for tax compliance.
4. Year-End Processing
At the close of the calendar year, we take care of:
- Annual 13th month pay computations
- Issuance of BIR Form 2316 to all employees
- Summary reports and reconciliations for internal or external audit
5. Onboarding and Termination Payroll Support
We assist with employee registration for first-time hires and handle final pay computations for resignations or terminations — ensuring full compliance with DOLE regulations on separation pay, last pay, and clearance processes.
