Payroll management for international contractors is a demanding task, especially in the highly regulated Nordic region.

What is Payroll Outsourcing?
Payroll outsourcing is the process where businesses hire a third-party provider to manage all payroll-related activities, including salary payments, tax deductions, compliance reporting, and social contributions. It helps companies ensure accuracy, save time, and maintain full compliance with local labor laws when hiring internationally.
Managing payroll in Denmark involves more than just paying salaries. Employers must handle holiday pay (Feriepenge), labour market contributions (ATP), income tax reporting (via eIndkomst), and ensure all statutory deductions are accurate. Our payroll outsourcing service in Denmark ensures timely salary payments, precise reporting to SKAT, and full compliance with Danish payroll laws—while you focus on running your business.
Swedish payroll administration is highly structured, with strict requirements around employer taxes (Arbetsgivaravgifter), pension schemes (SAF-LO or ITP), and sick pay rules. With Northern Partners, you get a local payroll partner who manages all registrations, handles salary payouts, and ensures compliance with the Swedish Tax Agency and social insurance standards.
In Norway, payroll outsourcing includes managing A-melding reports, tax deductions using the employee’s skattekort, and accurate remittance to NAV and Skatteetaten. We help ensure that contractors are paid correctly and that your reporting obligations as an employer are met without error or delay. Our services are ideal for agencies placing consultants in energy, tech, and infrastructure sectors.
Finnish payroll is closely tied to national systems like TyEL pensions, KELA contributions, and income tax reporting via the Incomes Register. Northern Partners takes care of every step—from gross-to-net calculations and social security to official submissions—ensuring accurate, on-time payments and full regulatory compliance. A perfect fit for firms hiring internationally into Finland.
