About Choosing a Payroll Service
What is a payroll service and how is it different from payroll software?
HRIS software or payroll software requires your internal team to input data and calculate payroll independently.
Meanwhile, Mekari Payroll Service combines advanced technology with a team of Payroll Specialists who manage the entire payroll cycle, from start to finish, including salary disbursement and tax reporting.
You only need to spend around 1 hour per payroll cycle on reconciliation and approval. We handle the rest.
Can this service handle complex payroll structures for Enterprise companies?
Absolutely. Mekari is trusted by more than 55,000 businesses across Southeast Asia, including Enterprise companies undergoing operational transformation across multiple entities.
Our clients benefit from a clearly defined operational Service Level Agreement (SLA), supported by a dedicated Payroll Service Lead and PIC who oversee service quality, issue escalation, and the smooth execution of monthly payroll processes.
How does the data migration process work when switching from a legacy system or another payroll vendor to Mekari?
The migration process is designed to be structured and secure, ensuring that your payroll operations remain uninterrupted.
Our team will guide you through every stage, from collecting historical data and integrating your HR systems to conducting a final review before the new system becomes fully operational.
Does Mekari Payroll Service support Coretax reporting and the latest PPh 21 (TER) regulations?
Yes. Our team of specialists ensures that your payroll operations remain compliant with the latest government regulations. Our service covers end-to-end PPh 21/26 calculations, BPJS Kesehatan reporting through e-Dabu, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan reporting through SIPP, and tax reporting administration using the Coretax system.
