Initial payroll setup
We will import your employee data and set up the payroll system to your specific needs, regardless of what compensation and benefits policy your company has (net or gross, taxable or non-taxable income, recurring or non-recurring payments).
One-off
Monthly payroll services*
Each month, we will alert you to confirm essential employee details, such as salary, leaves and more. We will then handle all your payroll calculations, statutory contributions, filings, salary payments and other paperwork for you. You only need to review and approve. Detailed reports, including payslips and other documents, will be available to you online on the client-service platform.
Monthly
Quarterly and year-end services
We will prepare and submit all the necessary quarterly and year-end returns, filings and tax forms for each employee, including:
- Social Security Contributions for long-term employees: MOP 90/month (MOP 60 employer + MOP 30 employee). Contributions are paid quarterly in January, April, July, and October.
- Social Security Contributions for casual workers: MOP 90/month if they work ≥15 days or MOP 45/month if they work less than 15 days. Contributions are paid monthly, in the month following the work period.
Annually
*Our monthly regular processing fees follow a tiered structure, where the average costs per employee will decrease as the total number of employees increases. The total monthly processing fees will be the sum of the costs for each tier. Your actual monthly fees will then vary based on the fluctuations in your headcount.
An irregular processing fee will be applied as required for any employee payment processing, which does not coincide with monthly regular payroll processing (off-cycle processing), e.g. religious festivities bonus, performance bonus pay-outs, incentives and more.
Simple steps to implement your payroll in Macau.

1. Initial assessment
The process starts with assessing your payroll needs, selecting the required services and preparation of the agreed services to commence. In this stage, we will also take the opportunity to identify other areas of improvement for a more efficient payroll process overall.
2. Service blueprint
Once we have agreed to proceed with the services, we will produce a payroll blueprint document. The blueprint defines all aspects of the payroll administration (such as including initial data migration, ongoing processing, calculation details, reporting requirements and employee services, and payroll calendar) and it will serve as a common reference for both parties.
3. Testing phase
During establishing a test environment, we will customise the payroll system to meet your requirements, set up the system, migrate the employee data and integrate transaction data.
4. Parallel run & evaluation
Next, we will process and compare results with the previous payroll calculations. After due checks and resolution of any calculation differences, we will make a joint decision to switch to our payroll system, for the duration of the agreed contractual period.
5. Production
Your payroll system is successfully set up and ready to be rolled out.

Common questions & answers.
Outsourcing payroll can be beneficial for businesses in Macau looking to simplify operations and reduce costs, particularly start-ups and smaller companies.
A professional payroll provider offers local expertise, helps maintain compliance with Macau’s labour and tax regulations, and removes the need for an in-house HR team. It can also reduce the risk of errors.
Payroll in Macau needs to meet strict labour laws, social security requirements, and reporting deadlines.
Common challenges include miscalculated wages, missed social security payments, and late filings, all of which may lead to penalties.
Staying informed about local regulations and using reliable payroll processes or professional support can help avoid these issues.
We use a secure spreadsheet-based system integrated with banking platforms to handle payroll accurately and on time.
For larger teams or more complex requirements, we can also work with cloud-based payroll solutions and self-service portals that offer detailed reporting and easier management.
