The Challenge
A forced migration with two months and a lean team
With no transition runway, Clover's previous payroll provider gave two months' notice that their entire system was being shut down.
With a large number of separate payrolls, providing services to between 5,000 and 10,000 employees across multiple countries, and a then central payroll team of less that 6 people, Clover needed to source, implement, and train all company-level users on a new platform, fast.
The Solution
Enterprise payroll at scale, built to last
- Migrated all payrolls across multiple countries onto Deel Payroll, with a team of less than 5, managing the full transition
- Rolled out bulk upload functionality and granular role-based access controls across a medium-sized company-level user base, with permissions configurable by user, location, cost centre, and function
- Deployed Employee Self-Service (ESS) and Manager Self-Service (MSS), enabling employees to manage payslips, leave, and claims, and managers to track their teams, all integrated directly with payroll
- Relied on Deel's in-country compliance teams across all operating markets to help ensure tax and legislative compliance
The Results
From crisis migration to steady-state confidence
- A lean team (<5), now confidently runs payroll for 5,000 - 10,000 employees across multiple countries, with a decrease in team headcount
- Saves the payroll and HR team 8+ hours per week on administrative tasks previously handled manually
- Full reporting flexibility with role- and location-based access, giving every stakeholder exactly the visibility they need: No more, no less
- Tax and legislative compliance handled on time across all markets, removing a significant governance burden from a lean central team
Deel simplifies complex, multi-country payroll through strong compliance, accuracy, and transparency. It enables Clover to deliver accurate, reliable payroll at scale, while supporting strategic People processes and further system integrations.
