About

activpayroll is an Aberdeen-founded global payroll and workforce-services provider established in 2001 by Alison Sellar OBE. Its current offer is led by managed multi-country payroll, supported by global HR services, mobility, tax, legal and immigration expertise, and the activ8 payroll technology platform. The company reports more than 400 employees, over 500 clients, coverage across more than 150 countries, and around two million payslips each year. Payroll is therefore the correct primary DHRMap category; the imported EOR classification is removed because the reviewed first-party product catalogue does not present Employer of Record as a core service.

About this listing. DHRMap is an independent directory: profiles are compiled from public sources and the company's own website at the time of listing. Companies, products, ownership and pricing change quickly, so we cannot guarantee that this profile is complete, accurate or current — please confirm details with activpayroll before relying on them. A listing is not an endorsement.
