Workpay

Workpay is an HR and payroll management platform built for companies hiring and managing staff across Africa. Its employer of record service lets organisations engage workers in African markets without establishing a local legal entity, while its outsourced payroll service handles employee payments, tax filings and statutory compliance in each jurisdiction.

Alongside payroll and EOR, the company offers HR and payroll software, financial services and expense tracking within a single system, with processes designed around the compliance requirements of the 54 countries on the continent. Its users range from startups and scaling technology companies to healthcare and fintech firms, NGOs and professional services businesses.

Workpay is headquartered in Kenya and states that more than 1,000 companies use its platform. It holds ISO 27001 certification and raised $5 million in Series A funding to expand its people operations and payroll services across African markets.
