What Friday’s payroll works out again

Statutory payroll, exact

Progressive PAYE bands with personal relief, NSSF tiers, SHA (2.75%) and Housing Levy (1.5%) — recomputed correctly when commissions or overtime land, every single period.

Employee records & org

Complete profiles with KRA PIN, NSSF and SHA numbers, branches and payroll groups. Bulk onboarding and clean audit trails.

Leave, attendance & overtime

Requests and approvals, balances, overtime capture that flows straight into gross pay.

Recruiting & interviews

Track applicants, schedule interviews and move candidates through your pipeline to hire.

Goals & performance

Set goals, review progress and tie performance to compensation conversations.

Micro-learning & quizzes

Bite-size staff training and knowledge checks inside the same system people check their payslips in.

Why it matters

Payroll errors are expensive twice

Once in penalties, and again in trust. Vortex HR & Payroll treats statutory computation as sacred code — reviewed against KRA tables, tested against real payslips and consistent whether pay is basic-only or loaded with commissions and allowances.

  • Commission-aware — commissions route through the payslip so PAYE, NSSF, SHA and Housing Levy recompute on the true gross.
  • Branch-aware — multi-branch headcount, costs and statutory summaries at a glance.
  • Integrates with VortexERP — sales commissions computed in the ERP push straight into payroll periods.
