Payroll that just works

You enter salaries once and configure allowances, deductions, and loans per employee. Every month the system computes gross pay, PAYE, NSSF, LST, local service tax, loan deductions, and net pay — producing payslips, a bank payment file, PAYE schedule, and NSSF return in one click.

  • Automatic PAYE, NSSF, and LST calculation per Uganda rates
  • Configurable allowances, deductions, and staff loans
  • Payslip PDF emailed to each employee
  • Bank payment file (Stanbic, Centenary, Equity, DFCU, and more)
  • URA PAYE schedule export
  • NSSF monthly return export
  • Year-end tax certificates (P9-equivalent)

HR beyond payroll

Employee master file with contracts, ID, NSSF/TIN, next of kin, and documents. Leave management with balances and approvals. Attendance from biometric device or timesheet. Appraisals and disciplinary records. Onboarding checklists for new hires and clearance checklists for exits.

  • Employee 360 profile with documents
  • Leave request & approval workflow
  • Attendance import (biometric or timesheet)
  • Contract renewals & probation reminders
  • Appraisals with goals and ratings
  • Onboarding & exit checklists

For teams of every size

We deploy for teams as small as 15 employees and as large as 2,000+. Small businesses often start with payroll only and add HR modules later. Larger organisations plug in biometric attendance devices, benefits management, and self-service portals from day one.

Self-service so HR isn't chased for payslips

Employees log in on their phones to see payslips, download tax certificates, check leave balances, and request time off. HR stops fielding "can you resend my payslip?" WhatsApp messages every month.

URA and NSSF compliance built in

We keep tax bands, NSSF rates, and LST tables up to date. When URA or NSSF changes rules, we push updates so your returns stay compliant without you tracking gazette notices.

How long does setup take?

Payroll-only is live in 1–2 weeks including a parallel run. Full HR + payroll takes 3–5 weeks depending on data import and integrations. All deployments include training and one month of hand-holding through the first payroll cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle PAYE and NSSF changes?
Yes. When URA or NSSF publishes new rates or rules, we push updates so you stay compliant.
Can it produce a bank payment file for salaries?
Yes — for most major Ugandan banks. Employees are paid in a single upload instead of individual transfers.
Does it work with our biometric attendance device?
Most ZKTeco, Anviz, and Hikvision devices integrate. We check compatibility during scoping.
Can employees see their payslips online?
Yes. Optional self-service portal lets employees view payslips and request leave from their phones.
How is our sensitive data protected?
Encrypted storage, role-based access, and audit logs. Only HR and finance see salaries; managers see only their direct reports.
What if we already use QuickBooks or Tally?
We can post monthly payroll journals into your accounting software automatically.
