If your employees cross state and country borders on business travel, your company has legal requirments for payroll compliance:

• Domestic: Multi-State Payroll - employees working in states where they are not resident.
• International: Employees doing business in other countries.

At Blackspark, we have taken a unique, technology-centric approach to solving the problem of business traveler payroll compliance. The challenge can be broken down into 3 basic requirements: First, you need an automated and efficient way to take in and process large amounts of travel data on behalf of all the business travelers within your company. Secondly, you need to be able to translate that data and organize it into the proper context to assist in meeting domestic and international compliance requirements. Lastly, you require flexible and non-intrusive workflows that enable employees to confirm the accuracy of their travel details, while providing payroll managers with the relevant data needed to execute payroll.

borderFile is the industry’s first solution focused on the ability to process travel data regardless of the source (in policy/TMC, open booking) and make the corresponding analysis and reports available for easy consumption by key stakeholders within your organization.

We help your company save money by:

• Automating costly manual processes
• Aiding compliance and avoiding financial penalties
• Leveraging existing investments in travel relationships and technology
