Payroll that satisfies KRA and your donors at the same time

Yes — PAYE bands, NSSF tiers, SHIF, and housing levy rules are maintained in the product, so changes reach you as updates rather than spreadsheet edits.

Yes — allocations by percentage or timesheet split gross pay, statutory costs, and benefits across grants, producing the personnel schedules donors ask for.

Casual workers are paid through dedicated runs with their own records and rates, kept distinct from regular payroll but visible in grant costs and reports.

No, and this is the most important correction on this page. Approving a run records payroll as already paid — it writes one money-out entry per employee into the payments register plus a double-entry journal posting for the run total, and stops there. It does not produce a bank payment file and it does not disburse by mobile money. You pay staff exactly as you do today and the record matches what you did. The build to change that is well-defined rather than speculative — a real payout would hold the run pending and flip it on a webhook, which is precisely how the existing M-Pesa and Paystack vendor payment flows already work — and it is commissionable on a written specification, a timeline and a price. An earlier version of this answer said payment files were produced. They are not.
