HR and Payroll Software Built for African Compliance
Force HRM was built to solve a problem that generic HR software consistently fails to address: the complexity of payroll compliance in Kenya and across Africa. International HR platforms are designed around Western tax systems and employment law. When Kenyan businesses try to use them, they spend more time building workarounds than they do running their operations.
Force HRM natively handles PAYE calculation using the current KRA tax bands, SHIF deductions, HELB loan repayment schedules, and the Affordable Housing Levy. Payroll runs that used to take a finance team days to complete now happen in minutes. The system generates KRA-ready P9 forms and NSSF returns that can be submitted directly to the relevant authorities. Force HRM uses configurable, effective-dated statutory rate tables for NSSF. When courts or Parliament change NSSF contribution rates, the system updates via an admin rate table, not a code deployment. The ongoing NSSF legal uncertainty is exactly the operational risk Force HRM absorbs for its customers.
From Recruitment to Offboarding
Force covers the complete employee lifecycle. When a new hire joins, HR creates their profile, assigns them to a department and cost centre, sets their contract type and probation period, and configures their payroll components: all in one place. Leave management is built in, with configurable leave policies, online leave requests, approval workflows, and automatic leave balance calculations.
Performance management allows managers to set KPIs, conduct quarterly reviews, and maintain a documented appraisal history for every employee. When an employee leaves, the system handles the offboarding checklist, final pay calculation including any leave encashment, and generates the required statutory documentation.
Multi-Company and Multi-Branch Support
Force HRM supports organisations with multiple companies or branches under a single subscription. Payroll can be run independently per entity or consolidated for group reporting. This makes Force suitable for holding companies, franchise operations, and businesses that have grown through acquisition and need to manage diverse legal entities from a single platform.
Role-based access control ensures that branch managers see only their own employees, finance teams see only payroll data, and executives get the consolidated view they need. All user activity is logged, giving you a full audit trail for compliance and internal governance purposes.
