MaineStreet HCM and University Services Payroll can administer USA payroll for employees in the following scenarios:
- US citizens who work in or outside the US and
- Non-US citizens who are working in the US
MaineStreet HCM and University Services Payroll does not currently have the capability and/or resources to appropriately tax non-US citizens working outside the US which would require the UMS to be established as a business in another country where that country's taxes would govern.
Employment for non-US citizens working outside the US will need to be administered through a third party staffing agency established in the country of residence where they can be paid in that country's currency and in accordance with applicable tax and labor laws of the country where work is being done. Salaries may be increased to include the value for benefits so they can purchase benefits in their country where they will be the most advantageous for the employee.
US citizens who work in or outside the US: In general, wages earned by U.S. citizens and resident aliens working in a foreign country are subject to federal income tax withholding and Social Security and Medicare taxes.
