How PayrollFlow 365 handles Kenya

Kenya is the market PayrollFlow 365 was built in, and its statutory content is published and updated with legislation.

Rates, bands and calendars are dated parameters with an owner and an audit trail, so a legislative change is a configuration change and not a development project.

Earnings, deductions, benefits and reliefs calculated per pay run
Payslips, bank files and remittances produced from the run
Statutory returns and outputs scoped with you and your adviser
Posting to the general ledger by department, cost centre and project
The same core as every other country in your group

Where it sits in Dynamics 365

PayrollFlow 365 runs on Business Central and Finance & Operations, so payroll and the ledger are one system. Where a payroll product is already in place and staying, we integrate it and post each pay run to the ledger instead.

What we need from you

Your pay rules and allowances, employee and bank data, the statutory returns you file today, and the person who owns payroll policy. A discovery workshop turns these into a written plan.

How an engagement runs

It starts with a 45-minute consultation, then a discovery and fit-gap workshop on your own processes. You receive a written fit-gap and a phased plan before a programme is agreed. Four phases follow, each with something you can use and review.

01

Discover

Process workshops, data audit, and a fit-gap against the standard product.

02

Design

Solution blueprint, integration map, and the extensions we will actually need.

03

Deploy

Configuration, migration rehearsal, role-based training, UAT and phased cutover.

04

Support

Hypercare, managed services, client portal, scheduled optimisation reviews.

What drives the cost: users, legal entities and currencies, integrations, data migration and the gaps found against standard. See how pricing works or run the three-minute readiness score.
