Payroll is not difficult. It is unforgiving, which is a different problem: a deduction that is right eleven months of the year is still a finding in the twelfth.
We run it monthly, file it in our name, and give you one invoice instead of four obligations.
What gets filed, and by whom
Four statutory items attach to a Tanzanian payroll, and all four are registered and filed by us:
- NSSF, the National Social Security Fund contribution
- PAYE, the income tax deducted at source
- SDL, the Skills and Development Levy
- WCF, the Workers Compensation Fund contribution
Because the filings are in our name, a query about a contribution is ours to answer and a labour inspection of the workers we supply is met with our records. There is more detail on the compliance page.
What does the statutory load actually cost?
It is more than most budgets assume, because the visible number is the wage and the invisible ones are the contributions on top of it. The honest answer for a specific crew depends on the wage band and the mix of roles, so we would rather cost your actual requirement than publish a figure that is wrong for you.
We have written up how the components stack in What NSSF, PAYE and SDL actually cost you per worker.
Do you handle payslips and queries?
Yes. Workers get a payslip they can read, and a route to ask about it that does not end at your finance desk. Pay questions are the most common reason a good crew becomes an unhappy one, and they are ours to resolve.
Can you run payroll for staff we employ ourselves?
Yes. Payroll and compliance can be taken on its own, for people who are on your contracts rather than ours. You stay the employer; we run the calculation, the filing and the payslips.
If you would rather move the employment relationship too, that is Workforce Outsourcing.
What do you need from us to start?
A list of people, their roles, their wage bands and their start dates. Where staff are transferring from your own payroll we will also need their existing registrations so nothing is duplicated or dropped in the handover.
