“International Payroll Efficiency Noted Despite Price and Setup Difficulties”

Mar 22, 2026
Papaya has been efficient for our Payroll team who works internationally. 99% of the time, the disbursement is always on time. There was only one instance wherein the disbursement was late but they made up for it by generously providing a courtesy token for the inconvenience. This has not happened with other vendors.
