✅ Payroll Compliance Tips for Kenyan Employers

Running payroll in Kenya isn’t just about paying staff — it’s about following the law and avoiding penalties. Here are the key things every employer must do:

👉 Register your business with KRA, NSSF & SHIF
👉 Deduct and remit PAYE by the 9th of every month
👉 Submit NSSF & SHIF contributions on time
👉 Pay staff at least the minimum wage and issue payslips
👉 Keep payroll records for at least 5 years
👉 File monthly PAYE returns on iTax
👉 Stay updated on new contributions like the Housing Levy and NITA Levy

💡 Pro Tip: Automating payroll or outsourcing to experts makes compliance easy, saves time, and reduces costly errors.

📌 At Optima Accounting and Advisory CPA, we help Kenyan businesses manage payroll stress-free and stay fully compliant.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are more than just figures—they’re the heartbeat of your business.

Some KPIs you can start tracking today include:
🔹 Sales & Finance: Monthly revenue, profit margins, expenses vs. budget.
