Payroll & HR in Vantage Point

Zimbabwe payroll software with PAYE, NSSA and ZIMDEF built in

Zimbabwean payroll is not hard because the arithmetic is difficult. It is hard because there are several statutory deductions with different rules, employees are frequently paid in a mix of currencies, and the answer has to be right on a date that does not move. Doing it in a spreadsheet works until the month someone changes a formula, and then it fails in a way that is expensive to unwind. Vantage Point computes the statutory side — PAYE, the AIDS levy, NSSA, ZIMDEF, Standards and NEC — per employee, per run.

The run itself is one sequence rather than a series of separate chores. Calculate to produce payslips, approve, post the gross-to-net journal to the general ledger, export a bulk salary file in your own bank's layout, and email branded payslips to staff. The statutory liability the run creates does not then vanish into an accrual: it becomes a remittance obligation that is tracked against what was posted and cleared when it is actually paid, with P2, ITF16 and NSSA P4 exports produced from the run that created it.

The human resources side supplies what payroll depends on. Pay grades and job titles with banding, employment contracts issued from templates and frozen once issued, benefits granted automatically at hire and on a grade change, leave types and balances with approvals, and clock in and out from a shared location. Employees can serve themselves over WhatsApp — a payslip on demand, a leave request, a salary advance, a change of details — with approvals and a one-time password step-up standing between a request and a change.

What's inside

Gross to net, without the spreadsheet.

One run per pay period: calculate, approve, post the journal, produce the bank file, email the payslips. The statutory liability it creates is then a remittance you can settle.

Questions

Payroll & HR, asked and answered.

Which Zimbabwean statutory deductions does it calculate?

PAYE, the AIDS levy, NSSA, ZIMDEF, Standards and NEC, computed per employee on each run. The statutory returns that follow — P2, ITF16 and NSSA P4 — are exported from the same run that created the liability.

Can employees be paid partly in United States dollars and partly in ZiG?

Yes. Any split can be set per employee, with separate bank accounts held on the employee record for each currency, and the split carried through the calculation, the payslip and the bank file.

Does it produce a bank file for bulk salary payments?

Yes. Once a run is approved, a bulk salary file is exported in your own bank's layout, so payments are uploaded rather than captured one at a time.

What happens to PAYE and NSSA after the payroll is posted?

They become tracked remittance obligations derived from the posted run and checked against the accrual, so the amount owed to ZIMRA or NSSA is a live figure that is cleared when the payment is made rather than a balance nobody is watching.

Can staff get their payslips themselves?

Yes. Employees can request a payslip over WhatsApp and receive it on demand, and payslips are also emailed on your own branded template with every run.

Can employees request leave without a computer?

Yes. Leave types, balances and approval routes are defined in the system, and employees request leave over WhatsApp. Requests that change money or personal details additionally require a one-time password before they are accepted.
