One run, five filings

Payroll is the easy part. It's the five filings after it.

Paying people is arithmetic. Proving you paid the right tax to the right authority in the right state, on time, every month — that's the job. One run produces every document each authority asks for, and the receipt that proves you sent it.

The problem

Every month, the same scramble.

Payroll in a spreadsheet, compliance held in one person's memory, projects in chat, invoices chased by hand. Nothing is wrong until the month it is — and then it is expensive.

Manual payroll

Gross-to-net by hand, late runs, and a spreadsheet only one person can maintain.

Compliance risk

PAYE, PENCOM, NHF, NSITF and ITF are easy to miscalculate and easier to miss.

Fragmented work

Projects, tasks and client delivery spread across half a dozen apps and inboxes.

Slow cash

Invoices sent late and chased manually, with fees skimmed from every transaction.

Statutory compliance

Every filing, handled automatically.

PAYE, PENCOM, NHF, NSITF and ITF are calculated, remitted and filed on every payroll run — across all 36 states and the FCT — with a receipted, exportable audit trail. Your obligations are met without a manual step.

FAQ

The questions that actually matter.

Payroll, compliance and pricing — answered plainly. If yours isn't here, the team is one message away.

Contact the team
Does Employar actually file, or just calculate?

It files. PAYE, PENCOM, NHF, NSITF and ITF are calculated on every payroll run, remitted to the correct authority — including multi-state PAYE across all 36 states and the FCT — and filed, with a receipted audit trail you can export.

What happens if an employee works in another state?

Their PAYE goes to that state's internal revenue service. Employar splits the schedule by the state each employee actually works in, rather than remitting one lump sum to head office and hoping.

How does pricing work?

A flat monthly subscription by team size covers the entire platform. Nothing is taken from your payroll runs or client payments — you pay one predictable price rather than a percentage of the money moving through the system.

Can I pay staff and contractors in USD?

Yes. Employar runs NGN and USD payroll, pays contractors and diaspora hires, and settles via Paystack, bank transfer or Uphiva Wallet.

Is it payroll only, or a full business system?

A full system. Hiring, HR, payroll, compliance, projects, CRM and invoicing share one source of truth, so a hire flows into payroll, a won deal flows into delivery, and delivered work flows into an invoice.

Can I hire through Employar?

Yes. The built-in applicant tracking system posts to and sources from the Uphiva talent pool, so you can hire from the community and onboard directly into payroll.
