Meridian HR

Meridian HR is a cloud-based HRMIS platform for African HR, payroll, and finance teams that combines CoreHR, payroll, leave, performance, and attendance in one system.

Key capabilities include:

• Unified HR and payroll across CoreHR, Payroll, Leave, Performance, and Attendance, reducing reliance on separate point tools and spreadsheets.
• Native statutory payroll engines for Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and South Africa, computing items such as PAYE, social security contributions, health levies, reliefs, and one-click statutory filings (for example, KRA iTax and NSSF in Kenya).
• Config-driven rule changes with audit logs, so updates like PAYE band changes can be applied as configuration edits, with approvals and automatic recomputation of affected payslips before the next payroll run.
• Ada AI assistant and MCP server, grounded in the organization’s HR data (employees, payslips, policies, filings) and exposed to tools like Claude and Cursor via resources such as employees.search, payroll.run, leave.request, payslip.get, statutory.forms.file, and org.chart.

Available on Web with an open REST API.

Designed for B2B organizations operating in African markets, especially teams running payroll and compliance in Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and South Africa.

Notable for its regional-first approach to African payroll compliance, including in-product statutory computation (not documentation-only guidance), audit-logged amendment cycles, and the option to bundle software with managed services such as payroll outsourcing, payroll tax compliance advisory, and HR consulting under one contract.
