Establishing and maintaining a Nepal payroll
One important element of expanding into Nepal is likely to be hiring locally, and this means setting up an in-country payroll. Establishing payroll in Nepal involves navigating a complex set of unique and frequently changing employment laws, which can be a lengthy and difficult process.
A popular solution to this difficulty is to outsource the Nepal payroll setup and management to a global PEO. At Horizons, our team specializes in helping organizations expand into Nepal as smoothly as possible. We’ll handle your payroll setup and management, whether or not you already have an established presence in the country.
