WHY BUSINESSES CHOOSE AYP
Built for APAC payroll: statutory compliance in every market
AYP manages the full payroll lifecycle, from calculating statutory contributions by country and processing multi-currency payments to keeping filings current in every market you operate in.
LOCAL PAYROLL EXPERTISE
In-country payroll specialists across APAC
Run payroll everywhere you operate: one invoice, one platform, and in-country specialists in every location. From Singapore to Japan, Australia to India, AYP is your single partner across the region.
100% COMPLIANCE
Payroll compliance across APAC, with statutory rates updated automatically
Payroll legislation changes frequently across APAC. Singapore revised CPF contribution rates in 2024; Indonesia updates BPJS thresholds regularly. AYP monitors regulatory changes in every market and applies them to the next payroll run automatically, so you do not need to track government bulletins.
COMPLIANCE GUARANTEED
Payroll compliance: statutory filings, contribution rates, and payslips handled for you
AYP manages statutory compliance in two scenarios: payroll run through your own local entities, and payroll through AYP's Employer of Record structure. In both cases, contributions are calculated at the correct statutory rates, filings are submitted on schedule, and payslips meet each country's legal format requirements.
Payroll calculation
Calculates gross pay, overtime, allowances, and deductions at the correct statutory rate for each country.
Local tax reporting and returns
Files IR8A and AIS returns in Singapore, PCB efilings in Malaysia, SPT returns in Indonesia, and their equivalents across every market.
Tax deductions
Applies the correct withholding rate per employee based on residency, salary band, and country, updated automatically when legislation changes.
Social security reporting
Manages CPF contributions in Singapore, EPF in Malaysia, BPJS in Indonesia, and their equivalents across every market.
Time off management
Tracks statutory leave balances per country and feeds approved time off directly into each pay cycle.
Payslip generation
Generates itemised payslips that meet each country's statutory format, including Singapore's 3-working-day issuance requirement.
Expense management
Processes expense claims and reimbursements in the same cycle as salary, removing the need for separate expense runs.
Bonus and other incentives
Calculates AWS, commissions, and bonuses with the correct tax treatment applied per country.
Reporting and compliance
Pulls payroll reports by country or cost centre, with statutory rates and filing deadlines updated automatically.
WHAT SETS US APART
What makes AYP different from other APAC payroll providers
AYP has local specialists inside each market specialists inside each market rather than running a centralised offshore team. Compliance covers the full employee lifecycle.
01
In-house Expert Advisory
AYP employs HR specialists inside each market, not a centralised team working from general knowledge. In Singapore, they advise on MOM regulations, CPF contribution schedules, and Employment Act obligations. In Indonesia, they handle BPJS updates and Manpower Law compliance.
02
End-to-End Compliance
AYP prepares employment contracts, payslips, and statutory filings tailored to each country's legal requirements. That includes Singapore's Employment Act and MOM tripartite guidelines, Malaysia's Employment Act 1955, and Indonesia's Manpower Law No. 13/2003.
03
Transparent Prices
AYP charges a flat monthly fee per employee. That covers payroll processing, statutory filings, payslip generation, and compliance support. No setup costs, no per-run charges.
APAC COVERAGE
APAC payroll coverage
AYP covers payroll across APAC: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, and China. Each market has in-country specialists who handle local contribution filings, tax calculations, and compliance updates.
TESTIMONIALS

"AYP provided the perfect one-stop solution for expanding our team outside Singapore. Their simple fee structure and timely, detailed payroll management made the process seamless. We now save time and effort, thanks to their expertise in local employment rules. We highly recommend AYP for an easy, effective, and precise EOR service."
"AYP’s fast responses provided crucial hiring information, making discussions smoother. As I was new to Vietnam’s regulations and payroll, their guidance was invaluable. Even finance and employee tax inquiries were well-supported. The platform is intuitive and efficient. We highly recommend AYP for their expertise and reliability!"
"Before AYP, we were managing everything internally, but the compliance risks became too great. For us, two things were non-negotiable: on-time payroll and full compliance. AYP delivered on both, ensuring we were competitive and compliant. The entire process was smooth, and the online payroll platform made everything easy to manage."
What is payroll outsourcing?
Payroll outsourcing means hiring a provider to run your payroll for you — processing salaries, calculating statutory deductions, filing contributions with local authorities, and issuing payslips. You keep the employment relationship and make all decisions on headcount and compensation. The provider handles the mechanics and compliance.
This is different from an Employer of Record, where the provider becomes the legal employer. With payroll outsourcing, your company stays in that seat.
What's the difference between payroll outsourcing and an Employer of Record?
Who employs the worker. With payroll outsourcing, your company is the legal employer. You have a local entity, direct employment contracts with each person, and the provider handles the payroll processing and statutory filings on your behalf. With an Employer of Record, the EOR is the legal employer and you don't need a local entity at all.
If you're already incorporated in the country, payroll outsourcing is usually the simpler path. If you're not, EOR gets you there faster without the setup cost.
What does AYP's payroll service include?
Salary processing, statutory contribution calculations and payments, payslip generation, and year-end tax filings with local authorities. The specifics vary by country — CPF in Singapore, EPF and SOCSO in Malaysia, SSF in Thailand, and equivalents across the other markets — but AYP's in-country teams handle the local rules. Leave management and expense reimbursement are also available.
What isn't included: employment contracts and HR decisions stay with your company. AYP processes payroll on your behalf; it's not the employer.
How does AYP handle payroll compliance across different countries?
Each country runs its own statutory schemes, filing calendars, and payslip rules. Singapore has CPF. Malaysia has EPF, SOCSO, and EIS. Indonesia has BPJS. Japan has shakai hoken. The rates and deadlines change, sometimes annually.
AYP has in-country teams in each market rather than centralising compliance from one location. Each team files directly with local authorities. You don't need to track the rules for each jurisdiction yourself.
Can AYP run payroll across multiple countries under one contract?
Yes. AYP covers 13+ markets across Asia under a single agreement and account team. Each country's payroll still runs to local rules, but you deal with one provider instead of separate vendors in each market. Once you're running payroll in more than two or three countries, that tends to matter quite a bit.
How long does it take to set up payroll outsourcing with AYP?
Usually 4 to 6 weeks from signing to first payroll run. The main variables: number of employees, whether you need a backrun for prior pay periods, and how quickly you can get employee data across. A single country with a small headcount and no backrun can be ready in under four weeks. Multi-country setups or historical data migrations take longer.
Do I need a local entity in each country to use AYP's payroll service?
Yes. Payroll outsourcing requires a registered entity in the country where your employees are based. AYP files and processes on behalf of your entity — it doesn't replace it.
If you don't have a local entity yet, that's where an Employer of Record comes in. AYP offers both; the right one depends on whether you're already incorporated locally.
