Farm payroll · Kenya

Farm payroll software for Kenya, from attendance to M-Pesa payout

Mark who worked, pay by the kilo, get statutory deductions right, and push wages to phones in one tap.

What does farm payroll software actually need to do in Kenya?

Most farm payroll breaks at the same three joints: attendance that does not match who actually showed up, piece-rate math that someone redoes by hand every Friday, and statutory deductions that get estimated instead of calculated. MkulimaOS handles all three in one flow, on the same record.

Attendance is marked by crew or block, tied to the task and the day. That attendance record feeds piece-rate pay directly — no re-entry, no separate spreadsheet.

How does piece-rate pay work?

A worker picks a quantity — kilos of cherry, crates of produce, rows weeded — and the rate for that task converts it to a wage automatically. Deductions (advances, cooperative dues, welfare) are itemized against each worker before the final figure, so both the farm and the worker can see exactly how a number was reached.

Are NSSF, SHIF, AHL and PAYE calculated correctly?

MkulimaOS computes NSSF, SHIF, AHL and PAYE at 2025 rates as part of the payroll run. You export the figures; your accountant files. We compute the numbers — we do not file returns on your behalf, and we do not claim KRA compliance beyond that.

How do workers actually get paid?

Once payroll is confirmed, one-tap M-Pesa bulk payout (Safaricom Daraja B2C) sends wages straight to every worker's phone — no bank queue, no cash handling. This is live in production at Mulinga Coffee Estate today. Bulk M-Pesa payout is an Estate-tier feature.
