What's new in Kazi

Every improvement we ship, in plain language. No jargon, just what you and your team can do now that you couldn't before.

July 2026

Kazi grows from payroll into payroll + HR.

Leave management

Everyone

Employees request leave from their phone and see their balance before they ask. Kazi does the thinking for you:

  • Requests route to the right approver automatically: manager first, then department head, then HR.
  • Approvals that sit too long get a reminder nudge.
  • Ghana's public holidays and weekends are built in, so nobody burns leave days on a Saturday.

HR letters, verifiable by anyone

Employees

Employees can request employment confirmation letters (issued instantly) and salary certificates (approved by HR). Every letter carries a QR code and a verification link, so a bank or embassy can confirm it is genuine in seconds without calling your office.

Document vault

Everyone

Contracts, IDs and certificates now live on each employee's profile, visible to the employee too. Documents with expiry dates (permits, IDs) trigger reminders before they lapse.

Offboarding with a settlement preview

Employers

When someone leaves, Kazi shows you the full final settlement before you confirm:

  • The final month, worked out to the day.
  • A payout for unused leave.
  • The employee sees a clear explanation of the same numbers on their side, so there are no surprises.

My team

Employees

A new page shows who you report to and who reports to you, with photos, so reporting lines are never a mystery.

A proper desktop experience

Employees

The employee portal now has a full sidebar on desktop with every section one click away. On mobile, nothing moved: the tab bar you know is unchanged.

Faster everywhere

Everyone

A speed pass across the product: pay runs for large teams now calculate in seconds rather than minutes, and the pages you visit most load noticeably quicker.

June 2026

Getting whole companies onto Kazi without the spreadsheet pain.

Bulk onboarding

Employers

Bring your whole team over in one go: a guided spreadsheet import for profiles, salaries and year-to-date balances, ending with a dry-run comparisonso you can check Kazi's numbers against your old payroll before anything goes live.

Supplementary pay runs

Employers

Pay outside the monthly cycle when you need to: bonuses, corrections and one-off payments run through the same approvals and land on the same payslips and filings.

Part-time and casual workers

Employers

New employment types with the tax treatment Ghana's rules require, alongside the correct flat rate for non-resident employees.

Your money, in your Kazi wallet on payday

Employees

When payroll is approved, your net pay lands in your personal Kazi wallet instantly. No more waiting for a bank transfer to clear before you know you've been paid.

Withdraw to mobile money or bank, your choice

Employees

Send money from your wallet wherever you keep it:

  • Any of your saved mobile money numbers or bank accounts.
  • Each destination is verified once, so your money can never go to a mistyped number.
  • Your first withdrawal every pay cycle is free.

A statement that explains itself

Employees

Every pay credit and every withdrawal, itemized in one statement with a receipt for each movement. If you ever wonder where a cedi went, the answer is one tap away.

May 2026

The foundations: payroll that is correct by construction.

The Kazi payroll engine

Employers

PAYE on the GRA's monthly schedule, SSNIT and pension tiers, overtime concessions and all the edge cases, calculated the same way every month and checked by a second approver before anyone is paid.

The employee portal

Employees

Payslips on your phone the moment payroll is approved, with a clear breakdown of every deduction. Installs like an app and works on any device.

Filings without the scramble

Employers

GRA and SSNIT filing schedules generated from the approved run, ready when the deadlines come.
