01
The landscape

Three ways to run payroll from HiBob. One that goes truly global.

Bob offers native payroll, its own Payroll Hub, and a certified-partner route. Each fits a different reality — and only one was built to run payroll in every country you operate.

Payroll Hub

A handful of provider connectors
Mercans
Certified partner connector
160+ countries

Native Bob Payroll stops at two countries. Payroll Hub syncs to a short list of mostly Anglo providers. Mercans is the route built for global scale — one certified connector across your whole footprint.

How it runs

From a change in Bob to a paid employee — end to end.

Bob stays the system of record. Mercans pulls the data through Bob's API, transforms it, validates every record, runs payroll in-country, and sends results back. Select a step.

Mercans
Global payroll engine

Employee, compensation, banking, time-off and evaluated-hours data flow out of Bob; payslips, statutory reports and payroll actuals flow back. Changes made in Bob always win — there's no second source to reconcile.

What you get

A connection that removes the manual work — and the risk.

01
On-demand pulls

Trigger a full, current pull from Bob whenever a cycle runs — on your cut-off, on a schedule, or on request. No one re-keys anything.

02
No manual uploads

The handover from HR to payroll is automated end to end — from onboarding through to payment.

03
Built-in validation

Every record is checked before pay runs; errors and anomalies are surfaced and resolved, not discovered after payday.

04
Global compliance

Mercans' in-country engine keeps every payroll aligned with local tax and labour rules across 160+ countries.

05
One certified connector

A single, Mercans-built and maintained integration — no licensed middleware or broker sitting in your data path.

06
Expertise behind it

20+ years of payroll delivery and on-the-ground teams supporting the connector through implementation and BAU.
