The Global Payroll Alliance (GPA) has officially named Multiplier the Employer of Record of the Year for 2026. This award celebrates EOR platforms that push the boundaries of global payroll and employment compliance, ensuring businesses can scale confidently without administrative friction.
Multiplier earned this top honor for its “outstanding service, innovation, and expertise in helping businesses employ international talent smoothly across borders,” underpinned by its owned-entity infrastructure spanning more than 160 countries, native payroll processing in 120+ currencies, and in-house compliance expertise.
“We made an early decision to build a global employment infrastructure ourselves rather than rely on third-party assemblies,” said Sagar Khatri, co-founder and CEO of Multiplier. “Employers want one team that owns the outcome in every country. That’s what Multiplier as the Global Exchange for Work delivers, and it’s what this award recognises.”
What this means for our customers
This milestone validates Multiplier’s unique approach to replacing the fragmented networks and local patchworks that complicate global expansion. By building the Global Exchange for Work, Multiplier provides the native infrastructure companies use to hire, manage, and pay global teams, unifying owned entities, native payroll, in-house compliance, and integrated payments into one system.
For businesses expanding globally, this award-winning infrastructure delivers clear advantages:
- Owned-Entity Network: Direct access through 150+ owned entities integrated into local tax, labor, and banking networks.
- Unified System of Record: A single engine managing EOR, contractors, and multi-currency payments across 160+ countries.
- Compliance by Design: In-house regulatory monitoring built deeply into the entire employment lifecycle, paired with human-first support.
- Enterprise Scale: Proven operational security trusted by leading global brands like Korn Ferry, Schneider Electric, Al Jazeera, and Tetra Pak.
Proven operational outcomes and market leadership
Multiplier earned the title on the strength of its numbers, delivering proven results at a massive global scale. The platform has now processed more than $2 billion in salaries, supports 3000+ customers, manages 170,000+ payslips annually, and enables Global Payroll Payments in 120+ currencies while supporting thousands of businesses expanding internationally.
That performance is anchored by a compliance engine staffed by regional, in-house legal and tax experts alongside a in-built compliance engine that monitors regulatory shifts across the employment lifecycle. This framework guarantees validated security and quality for enterprise clients, fully certified under strict ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR standards.
Ultimately, this exact combination, owned infrastructure, in-built compliance, and native payment rails at this level, is what makes Multiplier stand out and gives customers greater visibility, control, and confidence in hiring globally.
