The Integration Hurdle

To run error-free, multi-country payroll, the team had to:

  1. Read rich employee & timesheet data from a growing mix of HRIS systems (Workday, BambooHR, Darwinbox …) and normalise country-specific fields (overtime codes, gratuity rules).
  2. Generate granular GL entries in NetSuite and other accounting systems for each pay run—covering subsidiaries, departments, classes and multi-currency tax lines.
  3. Test every edge-case without risking production data—but NetSuite sandboxes are pricey and scarce.

Engineering estimated 10–12 weeks to build/maintain separate HRIS readers + a NetSuite writer, with ongoing schema tweaks each quarter.
