Workpay
Payroll, EOR, and outsourced payroll solutions for growing companies in Africa.
Workpay is an HR and payroll platform for companies operating in Africa. It addresses the operational and compliance challenges of hiring, managing, and paying employees across multiple African countries, including the need to establish local entities, process multi-country payroll, and meet statutory requirements. The platform supports hiring across 54 African countries and salary disbursement in more than 100 local currencies.
Its main capabilities include Employer of Record (EOR) services for hiring without local subsidiaries, outsourced payroll handled by payroll and compliance experts, and self-service payroll and HR software for multi-country operations. Additional modules cover time and attendance, expense claims, performance management, and financial services for employers and employees. The platform integrates with banks and mobile wallets for salary payments and supports digital onboarding, work permits and visas, and statutory and tax reporting.
Workpay is designed for startups, scaleups, and larger organizations across sectors including healthcare, technology, fintech, NGOs, professional services, transport, and construction, as well as for CFOs, accountants, HR managers, and resellers. The pages describe a free plan, a trial, and editions, but do not specify whether pricing is seat-based or usage-based.
