Once you've determined the best Kenya payroll option for your company, you'll need to collect some information from employees in order to add them to your payroll. Begin by acquiring their personal identification number, tax deduction card, and emergency contact information. When an employee begins working and provides you with their tax deduction card, they become a part of the social security system and are eligible for benefits.
Currently, both employers and employees contribute 5% of their wages to social security. The country recently raised the rate to 6%, but it has yet to be implemented due to a court decision. In addition, depending on their income, your employees must contribute a percentage of their wages to the National Hospital Insurance Fund. Remember that Kenya has a Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system in place, which means that employers deduct taxes from an employee's salary or wage. To remain compliant, you must perform the necessary calculations.
Companies that wish to expand their operations globally have four different payroll options in Kenya. These payroll options are:
1. Internal Payroll. This payroll option is applicable for already established companies in Kenya. It includes devoting an entire Human Resources staff to running the company's payroll procedures.
2. Remote Payroll. Smaller firms may lack the capacity to handle their own payroll, but they may add their workers to the parent company's payroll. This action, on the other hand, requires considerable thinking. You must guarantee that you follow the rules and laws of each nation.
Working with a local outsourcing firm is one method to retain money in the local economy, but you'll still need to study all of the local rules and regulations, since you'll be held responsible.
3. Kenya payroll outsourcing: Outsourcing your payroll to an Employer of Record in Kenya, such as Rivermate, is another alternative for Andorra payroll outsourcing. We can manage all aspects of your payroll, including compliance. Send us a note and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
It is the obligation of the employer to ensure that all payroll-related transactions are properly documented and recorded. All salaries and compensation payments must adhere to the local minimum wage as well as other applicable laws and regulations.

When an employer considers terminating an employee for misconduct, poor performance, or physical incapacity to perform tasks, the company must first hold a hearing. The employee has the right to be represented at the hearing by a union representative or another employee.
A letter of termination with justification must be issued. When an employer initiates the termination of an employment agreement, the company is required to pay the employee's final earnings on the termination date.
If the employee has worked for the employer for more than four weeks, the employer is required to provide a certificate of employment upon the termination of the employment agreement.
The monthly minimum wage varies by industry as well as geographical location. Currently, the minimum wage ranges from 13,572.90 KES for a cleaner or gardener to 30,627.45 KES for a cashier or heavy commercial driver.
The standard work week varies by industry but is typically between 40 and 52 hours over six days. Night shift employees can work up to 60 hours per week. The night shift is from 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. Employees 16 years of age or younger are permitted to work up to 36 hours per week.
Kenya's social security system provides mandatory benefits such as old-age, disability, sickness, death, maternity, work injury, unemployment, and medical care to various groups of people such as children, employed, unemployed, retired, or elderly people.
