One install running payroll for several countries and currencies, with maker-checker approval, statutory remittance schedules and staff self-service payslips.
Dashboard: approvals waiting, headcount, recent runs and compliance alerts
PayCore HR lets one installation run payroll for a client with legal entities in several countries and currencies. Each country’s tax bands, reliefs, credits and statutory contributions are held as an editable country pack rather than code, so a budget change needs no new release. Packs are included for Nigeria (Nigeria Tax Act 2025), Kenya (NSSF Phase 4, SHIF and the Affordable Housing Levy), Ghana, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the UAE, plus a blank template for any other country.
A payroll officer creates the run, adds one-off inputs by hand or CSV, and calculates. Pre-submission checks flag missing bank or tax IDs, low or negative net pay, large swings against last month, joiners, leavers and proration. A different user must approve the run; the server enforces this, not just the screen. Approved payslips publish to each employee’s self-service area, and marking the run paid locks it and posts loan repayments. Each run produces a payroll register, bank schedule, statutory remittance schedule per authority, a balanced GL journal and a variance report.
Around payroll sit employee records with CSV import, profile and bank-detail change requests approved by HR (the most common payroll-fraud route is closed off), leave with automatic unpaid-leave deductions, staff loans and salary advances, annual tax statements, a gross-to-net pay calculator and a full audit trail. Security includes PBKDF2 password hashing, lockout after five failed sign-ins, CSRF protection, a strict content security policy and masked bank details. It is white-labelled per client and deploys from GitHub to Fly.io with the test suite as a gate.
