South Africa HR & Payroll Software — South African Rand Payslips, PAYE, UIF & SDL

All 54 African countries are supported on the platform — including the smaller markets that most HR vendors skip (São Tomé, Eritrea, Comoros, Equatorial Guinea, South Sudan). Statutory rules are maintained centrally for each country, so updates to PAYE bands or social-security rates roll out per country without affecting your other markets.

Pricing is set in USD per employee per month and pinned at the start of each calendar month for currency conversion. Your local-currency price shows on every country page; HQ sees the consolidated USD view. There is no per-country setup fee and no per-module upsell — the same plan unlocks the same features everywhere.

Yes. Each country runs its own statutory engine and pay calendar; HQ sees a consolidated headcount and cost view across every market. Country data is isolated at the database query layer — a Kenya HR user (even via the API) cannot retrieve a Nigeria payroll record. See /solutions/multi-country for the full breakdown.

Statutory rates are maintained centrally in the platform — Kenya PAYE, SHIF, NSSF, Housing Levy; South Africa PAYE, UIF, SDL; Nigeria PAYE per state, Pension Reform Act contributions, NHF; and equivalents for every African country. When a gazette publishes a change, the new rate is applied within days, not weeks — and only to that country, leaving every other country untouched.

Yes — directly into M-PESA (Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique), MTN Mobile Money (Uganda, Rwanda, Ghana), Airtel Money, Orange Money (francophone West Africa), Tigo Pesa, and Wave. The payroll system picks the right rail per employee profile and falls back to bank transfer where needed. See our mobile money payroll guide for the comparison across rails.

Typical single-country onboarding is 4–6 weeks from kick-off to first live payroll cycle. Multi-country rollouts run 6–8 weeks with the first two countries piloted, then phased rollout for the rest. See the 90-day migration playbook for the week-by-week detail.

Yes — the employee self-service app (iOS, Android, and a mobile web version) lets staff view payslips, apply for leave, submit expense claims, clock in with GPS, and submit timesheets. It works offline at field sites and syncs when connectivity returns. For workers without smartphones, USSD short codes cover attendance and basic self-service on any feature phone.

The admin and employee interfaces are available in English, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Swahili, and Amharic. Country-specific contract templates, statutory forms, and payslips are localised to each country's official language(s). Additional languages are added on request for enterprise deployments.
