Zalaris ASA announced the renewal of its agreement with CircleK to deliver
European Managed Payroll and HR services for another five-year term.

The new agreement includes the provision of managed payroll and HR services for
CircleK's more than 14,000 employees in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Ireland. Services will continue to be powered by
Zalaris' proven Multi-Country Cloud solution for payroll, time, travel expenses
and digital personnel archive with portal and mobile self service for HR
professionals, managers and employees.  As part of the agreement, Zalaris'
solution will be integrated with CircleK's new Workday based global HR system.

Solutions supporting cost effectiveness, high degree of service

"Considering the inherent complexity involved in operating large employee
populations in multiple countries efficiently in the digital era, it's no wonder
multi-nationals continue their payroll and HR transformation journey with us"
says Zalaris CEO and founder Hans-Petter Mellerud. "CircleK has been a demanding
customer of Zalaris since its founding as a separate company in 2012.  We have
implemented common payroll and HR solutions for CircleK starting in Scandinavia,
then expanding to the Baltics, Poland and Ireland as CircleK has grown their
business. Delivering services with one common IT solution with proven and tested
integrations to global HR systems, supported by competent resources in our local
service centres, has secured cost efficiency and quality of service to end
users; whilst at the same time allowing CircleK to implement a common operating
model across all of their operations which in itself improves staff efficiency"

Securing business continuity of business critical payroll during the COVID-19
crisis

"Zalaris' core business has, for almost twenty years, been able to provide
stable and trustworthy payroll and HR services.  With a commitment to always
being on top of local compliance and integration requirements in the countries
we operate.  We are in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis with rapidly changing
payroll requirements including taxation, rules for short term work and layoffs.
Many companies are struggling securing business continuity while working from
home. At the same time, a few key people are trying to cope with these changes
by ensuring business critical payroll functions operate according to employees'
expectations. With Zalaris' distributed network of local service centres and
common IT infrastructure, we are rapidly adapting our systems to the changing
requirements.  We are now a key element in securing business continuity for our
customers and are delivering services to customers as normal. In times as these,
it is extremely satisfying to see long term customers renew their trust in us
for another extensive term" - says Mellerud.
