International Payroll with Ason
Your market. Your expertise. Our payroll engine.
Bring payroll to a new market with Ason. We combine our API-first embedded payroll engine with your local expertise to turn your country’s payroll requirements into software.
You bring payroll knowledge and market access. Ason provides the technology and works with you through implementation.
One engine. Local rules for each market.
Think of a coffee machine that works with different capsules. Ason applies the same principle to payroll: the engine stays the same, while each “Regulatory Capsule” provides the rules for a specific country and is assigned to the relevant client account.
This separation has been part of Ason’s architecture from the start. The engine handles calculations, validations, retroactive adjustments, and workflows. The capsule contains the country-specific rules the engine uses.
Illustration to be provided.
The engine is built. Local expertise unlocks the next market.
For each new country, we develop the regulatory capsule together with local payroll experts. Using Ason’s modelling tool, their knowledge becomes executable rules that can be tested, maintained, and updated as regulations change.
Built on international payroll research
Before building Ason, the team analysed payroll requirements across numerous countries in Europe and beyond. The architecture captures common payroll principles while keeping local regulatory rules separate from processing.
Where we are today
Switzerland is live and ready for use. Regulatory logic has been developed for Switzerland and Bosnia, with prototypes for additional European countries, including Germany. Production availability is established and validated separately for each market.
From local expertise to validated payroll logic.
Together, we turn your market’s requirements into clear, testable rules. We start with the outputs payroll must deliver in that country.
Define the requirements
Which payslips, statutory reports, and submissions to insurers or social security authorities are required? These outputs determine the data fields, lookup tables, calculations, and master catalogue of pay components we need to build.
Model the expertise
Local payroll specialists verify the underlying requirements and use Ason’s tool to translate real payroll scenarios into structured rule tables. With guidance from our team, they can model the rules themselves without conventional programming skills.
Test, refine, and maintain
Together, we validate the logic against test cases and with initial pilot customers. We refine the implementation and continue to maintain the rules after launch as requirements evolve.
AI can accelerate the preparation of publicly available information. Local experts provide the professional judgement needed to verify rules and model complex payroll scenarios.

We work with partners who understand their market and want to help shape its payroll infrastructure for the long term. A strong local presence and an established customer base are especially valuable foundations for collaboration.
