Outstaffer bills payroll at cost on a pass-through basis — we recover exactly what was paid out on your behalf, with no markup on the underlying payroll.
Outstaffer bills your payroll at cost on a pass-through basis. That means we recover exactly what was paid out on your behalf:
The employee's salary, paid into their bank account in their local currency
Statutory contributions and deductions, paid to government authorities (e.g., CPF in Singapore, SSS / PhilHealth in the Philippines, Social Insurance in Vietnam)
Country-specific taxes and compliance fees that we incur on your behalf
The reconciliation process exists precisely to enforce this principle. We bill you in advance based on the agreed amounts, then reconcile against the actual amounts paid. Credits go back to you when actuals come in lower; debits cover any genuine under-billing.
This is why your invoice contains line-by-line statutory charges rather than a single bundled "payroll fee" — you get full transparency into what your employee actually costs.
