About

About Global Workbench

Global Workbench is an independent research publication about global employment software, employer-of-record services, international payroll, contractor management and HR systems.

What we publish

We create buyer guides, comparisons and practical decision frameworks. We are not Deel and are not owned by the software companies discussed on this site.

How we research

Commercial facts are checked against provider pricing pages, product documentation and other primary sources where practical. We do not claim first-hand testing unless genuine evidence of that testing exists.

How the site is funded

Some links are affiliate links. We may earn a commission when a reader becomes a customer through a qualifying link, at no extra cost to the reader.

Scope and boundaries

Global Workbench focuses on the buying and operating decisions around employer of record services, global payroll, international contractors and HR systems. It does not act as an employer, payroll provider, law firm or tax adviser. Commercial pages may contain affiliate links, but the research standard requires product facts to be distinguished from our analysis.

What readers should expect

Important buying pages should answer the main question early, show the criteria behind the analysis, identify limitations and point to primary provider sources for unstable facts such as pricing and product scope. We avoid claims of hands-on testing unless evidence of that testing has been supplied.
