• An employer of record legally employs your workers abroad, so it is not payroll software for your own entity.

Safeguard Global

• No prices are published; the pricing page redirects to a cost calculator and quotes come from sales.
• Global Pay is a managed service rather than self-serve payroll software.
• Global benefits are offered as an add-on to payroll.
