The Challenge
Employees were unhappy as they were not receiving their pay on a timely basis and in some cases not in their preferred currency, requiring another conversion at their own expense. A mixed local and expatriate workforce meant increasingly complex payroll demands for the company, with employees wanting greater flexibility and how and where their salaries were paid.
