FAQ

How are payments processed?

Papaya has advanced in-house payroll payment capabilities. We hold five money transfer licenses and adhere to strict regulations in all major markets. We built payment rails optimized for payroll payments through our banking partnerships with top-tier banks, allowing us to guarantee 100% accurate payments that are processed in 72h at most.

Ceridian is primarily an HCM solution that also offers payroll services. It is not a unified payroll and payments platform and does not have in-house payment capabilities. All their payment solutions are delivered through third-party payroll providers, limiting control and visibility over payments.

Which platform is best suited to support my entire global workforce?

Papaya is a single payroll and payments solution that covers your complex workforce needs, supporting all and any combinations of payroll, EoR and contractors, so your company can achieve your global employment goals in over 160 countries.

Unlike Papaya, Ceridian does not support EOR. For you, that means limited options for employment overseas and eventually taking on the burden of creating new entities in foreign countries to compliantly employ workers.

If you want to manage payroll for your entire global workforce in a single place, regardless of type of employment or having entities in different countries, Papaya is best suited for your needs.

Can I keep my payroll partner network when adopting a payroll platform?

With Papaya, you can use our network of trusted ICPs and certified payroll providers or keep your existing partnerships. The choice is yours. You never have to rip and replace your network in order to upgrade your payroll technology. You can simply license our payroll and payments platform, Papaya OS.

If you outsource your global payroll to Ceridian, you will be required to replace your partner network with Ceridian’s local and global partners, as well as adopt Dayforce’s native payroll solution.

How long does it take to implement my payroll solution?

Papaya platform’s implementation can be completed in 2 to 4 weeks and comes with full support from Papaya’s customer success team and local experts in each country. You don’t need to overhaul your current operation and can seamlessly integrate your existing providers into our solution.

Ceridian’s implementation of the Dayforce solution typically takes 3 months for smaller customers. As for enterprise customers, the process may take as much as 12 months until completion.
