Looking for an HR payroll system in Philippines? Asia Payroll Hub’s cloud platform combines core HR, time and leave, employee self-service and a Philippines-ready payroll engine. It is configured around SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and BIR withholding and local pay elements — not a US or EU HRIS with Philippines bolted on as an afterthought.

Teams in Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, and BPO hubs use it to keep employee data, approvals and gross-to-net in one system, then report cleanly to regional HQ. Rates and statutory mappings last reviewed: August 2026 (confirm current contribution rates and filing rules at go-live).
