ADP Payroll Maturity Calculator Supports Chinese Companies That Are Expanding Globally
24 September, 2025
New tool helps businesses benchmark payroll maturity and drive efficiency in cross-border operations
Shanghai, China, September 24, 2025 – ADP, a global leader in HR and payroll solutions, today announced the official launch of its Payroll Maturity Calculator (the Calculator) for Chinese enterprises that are expanding globally.
As Chinese companies accelerate their global expansion, effective and localised payroll management has become a critical driver of business success. Whether expatriate assignments or local hires, payroll often takes the lead in global business deployment. Yet many Chinese companies face a series of common challenges when expanding abroad, such as complex and time-consuming payroll processes across multiple countries, differing regulations on employee compensation and benefits, a lack of unified systems and tools, and mounting risks and challenges in management strategy, compliance, and data security.
Leveraging ADP’s decades of experience serving multinational clients and deep industry best practices, the tool enables organisations to assess their payroll maturity, gain clear insights into strengths and gaps, and strengthen compliance and efficiency in today’s complex, fast-changing global environment.
The Calculator helps companies benchmark their current payroll stage across eight domains – governance and organisations, payroll process, payroll monitoring, people and training, time and attendance, IT and automation, legal and compliance, and payroll security – enabling companies to quickly identify areas for improvement and sharpen their focus, ultimately driving more efficient decision-making.
“The importance of payroll management goes far beyond ensuring employees are paid on time,” said Lily Ma, general manager of ADP North Asia. “A well-structured global payroll system not only underpins business expansion success, but also reduces compliance risks, improves decision-making efficiency, and lowers administrative costs.
“As Chinese companies advance their ‘go global’ strategies, systematic, compliant, and flexible payroll management plays a vital role in strengthening employer branding and enhancing the employee experience, while serving as a steady driving force for the successful execution of overseas operations.”
Lily Ma further emphasised: “This Calculator combines ADP’s 75+ years of expertise and service experience in more than 140 countries and regions. It enables companies to benchmark their global payroll management maturity while offering support for diversified market strategies. With a digitalised and integrated payroll approach, Chinese companies can address the complexities of various regulations and employee benefit requirements, gaining competitive advantages.”
Organisations can access the Calculator on ADP’s website here to evaluate their current payroll maturity and potential. They can also download ADP’s latest whitepaper, “Good Payroll is Good Business”, to gain deeper insights and practical recommendations.
