Payroll requires accurate employee information, approved changes, correct calculations and secure handling of personal data. Establish a monthly timetable covering inputs, preparation, review, payment and statutory submissions.

What to focus on

Maintain authorised records for salaries, benefits, deductions, leave and exits. Reconcile gross pay, net pay and employer costs to payment files and the accounting ledger.

Confirm applicable PAYE, NSSF, Social Health Authority and Affordable Housing Levy requirements and due dates from current official guidance. Regulatory rates and procedures can change, so avoid relying on outdated schedules.

Restrict payroll access, independently review master-data changes and retain payslips, returns and payment evidence in line with applicable requirements.
