Why European firms use the desk

Your office day, your currency, your reporting format.

European companies employing in Pakistan get something unusual for offshore work: the Pakistani working day can match theirs almost hour for hour. What they need from a payroll partner is discipline. The same invoice date every month, a breakdown that fits group reporting and cost centres, GDPR paperwork their data protection officer accepts, and one desk that answers employees so their managers do not have to. That is how the Crown desk runs for clients from Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, the Nordics, Southern Europe and Türkiye.

FAQ

What European employers ask the payroll desk.

Can we be invoiced in euros?

Yes, EUR is standard. We can also invoice in GBP, CHF, SEK or PLN, or in Turkish lira for companies in Türkiye.

What do you provide for our GDPR file?

Processing terms signed with your company, support for the standard contractual clauses your transfer needs, a description of our safeguards for your transfer impact assessment, and confidentiality and device terms signed by every employee.

How many hours overlap with a European office?

A full day. Pakistan is four hours ahead of Central European Time in winter and three in summer, so a 1pm to 10pm Pakistan shift matches a 9am to 6pm European day, adjusted when your clocks change.

Can the breakdown follow our group reporting?

Yes. We map the monthly CSV to your cost centres and accounts, whether you use DATEV exports, Exact, Xero or an ERP, and keep the same format every month.

How is VAT treated on your invoice?

Our services are supplied to your business from outside the EU, which your accountant will normally treat under the reverse-charge rules.

Can you take over from another provider in Pakistan?

Yes. We import contracts, salary history, leave and gratuity balances, recognise original joining dates and switch on a payroll date without interrupting salaries.
