Workpay is a cloud-based HRIS and payroll platform for organisations operating in Africa that need to manage employee data, run payroll, and stay compliant across multiple countries.

Key capabilities include:

• Multi-country payroll management with automated payroll calculations, statutory and tax reporting, and multi-currency salary disbursements for countries such as Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria.
• HR management workflows to store employee records and documents, manage onboarding, and handle leave and PTO across multiple locations.
• Employer of Record (EOR) services to hire and pay full-time employees and contractors in other countries without setting up local subsidiaries, with support for local labour and tax compliance.
• Time and attendance tracking with project-based timesheets, flexible shifts and schedules, and automated workflows.

Notable in the African market context, the platform supports operations across 34+ African markets, integrates with banks and mobile wallets to support fast salary payments, and is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya (founded in 2017). It also raised a $5 million Series A with investors including Visa, and offers additional modules such as expense claims, perks and benefits, financial services, and outsourced payroll for organisations that want expert-led payroll operations.
