What is Shadow Payroll?

A parallel payroll run in the host country for employees on international assignments, used to report taxable income and meet withholding obligations without duplicating actual pay disbursements.

Why it matters in hiring

Shadow Payroll comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
