Understanding Payroll: On Payroll vs. Off Payroll
On payroll means that an individual is being paid directly by the company they are working for. Off payroll, on the other hand, refers to a situation where an individual is being paid by a third-party company, such as XYZ company, while actually working for another company, like ABC company. In this way, we can say that the person is on the off payroll of ABC company.

Considerations for Joining On Payroll vs. Off Payroll
If openings are suitable, it is good to join on payroll, especially if it is a first posting, since the chances to learn are more in the parent company. However, if an off payroll opening is convenient—near the place of residence and with favorable terms of employment—this may also be useful.
