Kenya Compliance

Kenyan employment law, primarily the Employment Act, is enforced by bodies like the NSSF. A key obligation for employers is contributing ~5% of an employee's pensionable earnings to the NSSF. The standard payroll cycle is monthly, with strict deadlines. A major risk for foreign companies is misclassifying workers, leading to severe penalties from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). PayDD's EOR service acts as the legal employer, assuming all liability. We ensure correct classification, accurately calculate and remit the ~5% NSSF contribution, and handle all monthly filings, eliminating compliance exposure.

Case Study

A UK-based fintech company needed to hire three software developers in Nairobi but was deterred by complex local incorporation and slow, expensive international payments. Using PayDD's EOR service, they onboarded employees in Kenya with full compliance in under 48 hours. PayDD now manages all payroll, remitting the ~5% employer NSSF contributions, and facilitates instant salary payments via M-Pesa. This eliminated wire transfer fees and 5-day delays, saving the company approximately 70% on cross-border payment costs and allowing them to launch their Nairobi tech hub within two weeks.
