Statutory rules maintained for 40+ countries, mobile-money payouts, USSD self-service, WhatsApp delivery, multiple languages, offline-capable mobile app for field workers.
The problems we hear most
If any of this sounds familiar,
If any of this sounds familiar,
you're in the right place.
These are the recurring conversations with buyers in this category. We built the platform to retire each of them.
Doctors, nurses, and admin all get paid differently — different salary structures, different overtime rules, different allowances. Your spreadsheet has five tabs and one of them is always wrong.
A nurse's professional licence expired three months ago. You only found out when the Nursing Council inspector arrived and pulled the file. The hospital was fined. Now you maintain a renewal calendar by hand.
Locum doctors invoice for 16 hours over a weekend. Your finance team takes a week to verify, approve, and pay. The locum stops taking your shifts.
On-call rates are different from regular rates which are different from overtime rates which are different from public-holiday rates. Computing a single doctor's monthly pay takes 20 minutes of spreadsheet wrangling.
You run 5 facilities. A nurse can be assigned to two of them in the same month. Your HR records say she works at one. Your payroll system pays her from another. The audit caught it.
What's built in
Features your team will actually use.
Specific tools for this category — not generic HR repackaged. Each card describes what the feature does and how it fits the way you work.
01
Shift rosters with on-call
Build 24/7 rosters for nurses, doctors, and support staff. On-call hours capture separately from regular hours, with on-call rates auto-applied at month-end.
02
Locum contract management
Locum doctors submit their hours on a mobile app, supervisors approve on theirs, payment is processed in the next weekly cycle. Tax withholding and statutory deductions handled per contract type.
03
Professional certification tracking
Every clinician's licence, board certification, BLS / ACLS, infection control, and CME credits — tracked with expiry alerts at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days. Bulk export ready for any regulatory inspection.
04
Multi-facility staff sharing
A nurse working two days at Facility A and three at Facility B is correctly attributed at each. Payroll combines hours into a single payslip; cost centres split correctly to each facility's P&L.
05
Role-based pay structures
Doctors paid one way, nurses another, allied health another, admin another. Each role has its own salary structure template, overtime rules, allowance set, and tax treatment.
06
Patient-data-aware access control
HR sees salaries. Finance sees costs. Department heads see their team only. No accidental exposure of clinician compensation across the organisation. POPIA, Kenya DPA, and Nigeria NDPA aligned by default.
Why modules aren't enough
Every event is wired to the next.
Most HR systems sell modules as separate products — and then your team spends every month reconciling between them. SmartHR Africa is one system. Each event in this category flows automatically into the right downstream process.
Shift roster
Payroll
24/7 rosters for nurses, doctors, and support staff feed payroll directly. On-call hours, public-holiday loading, and shift differentials are applied at the correct rate per role.
Licence / BLS expiry
Compliance alert
Every clinician's licence, board certification, BLS / ACLS, and CME credit triggers a 90/60/30/7 day expiry alert. Inspector visits become routine, not crisis.
Locum hours submitted
Weekly payroll cycle
Locum doctors submit hours on a mobile app; duty managers approve on theirs; payment hits the next weekly cycle. The locum stops chasing finance for their money.
On-call hours
Premium rate applied
On-call, overtime, Sunday work, and public-holiday hours are tracked as separate hour types with their own rates. The system applies the correct rate per hour automatically.
Multi-facility hours
Cost-centre split
A nurse working two days at Facility A and three at B is attributed correctly to each P&L while receiving a single combined payslip from one employer.
Union wage table
Step increase
KMPDU, KNUN, NHA — any negotiated wage grid imports as a structured table. Step increases happen automatically on anniversary; rate changes propagate in one operation.

Yes. Each role has its own salary structure template. Doctors might have a base + admission allowance + on-call rate + private-practice split; nurses have base + shift differential + ward allowance; locums have a per-shift rate with PAYE withholding. All in the same system, no spreadsheets.
Each clock-in or roster slot is tagged with the facility. Hours roll up by facility for cost-centre reporting (each facility's P&L is correct), but the employee gets a single combined payslip from one employer. Multi-facility staff sharing is a first-class feature, not a workaround.
Each clinician's file includes their licence (medical, nursing, allied health), board certifications, BLS / ACLS, mandatory infection control, CME credits. Each has an issue date, expiry date, and renewal-alert schedule (90/60/30/7 days). HR gets a daily expiring-soon dashboard; the inspector gets a compliance pack on request.
Yes. Each locum has a profile, gets shift slots assigned, and submits their hours from the mobile app at end of shift. The duty nurse manager or department head approves. The hours hit the next weekly payroll cycle automatically.
On-call is a separate hour type with its own rate. Overtime is another. Public holidays another. Sunday work another. The system encodes all of them and applies the correct rate per hour-type automatically. You configure the rates once per role; the system applies them every cycle.
Wage tables are first-class. KMPDU, KNUN, NHA — any union agreement's wage grid imports as a structured table. Step increases happen automatically on the anniversary. Negotiated rate changes propagate to every affected employee in one operation.
For most HMIS systems we offer either a CSV exchange or API integration. We don't replace HMIS — we sit alongside it, taking employee data from HR and payroll, leaving patient data where it belongs.
