The way it works now
A spreadsheet somebody built three years ago. A formula nobody wants to touch. Rates that changed in February and got updated in June. An accountant who is very good, and very busy, and copied on eleven other WhatsApp groups.
It works until it doesn't, and it usually stops working in front of an auditor, or in front of an employee who has done their own maths on the back of the payslip and disagrees with yours.
There is a better way to do this, and it costs considerably less than the penalty.
Why businesses switch
Designed by a Certified Internal Auditor with twelve years in risk and controls. Every payroll run leaves a complete audit trail, not because it's a feature, but because that's how we think.
PAYE, SHIF, NSSF, the Housing Levy, NITA. Ghana's SSNIT tiers. Rwanda's RSSB. Nigeria's PenCom. South Africa's UIF. When a rate changes, we change it. You find out because your payroll is already right.
Purpose-built around Kenyan statutory law, then extended across Africa and beyond. Run Nairobi, Kampala, Dar, Accra, Kigali, Lagos and Johannesburg from a single dashboard.

Compliance
Statutory rules change constantly. Every rate ships pre-populated and effective-dated, so retrospective runs use the rates in force for that period, and when the law moves, we move with it.
