Your HR department is a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp thread, and a deadline you meant to write down.

It works, until one of these three gives way.

Payroll on Excel

Manual tax formulas that break every time the tax rules change. One wrong cell, and the penalty is 40% of what you didn't deduct.

Contracts in WhatsApp

Verbal agreements and scroll-back-to-find-it terms. No legal paper trail when things get complicated.

Deadlines you miss

Finding out about PenCom or NHF compliance requirements only when an inspector knocks on your door.

The real cost

Everything you're carrying in your head instead of running your business.

Six things WadataHR runs so you don't have to.

Automatic Payroll

NTA 2025 ready. PAYE, pension, NHF and WHT across all Nigerian states. Pension is calculated on Basic, Housing and Transport, never on gross, which is where most Nigerian payrolls go wrong.

Statutory rates: current
NTA 2025
PENCOM
Offer Letters

Send legally binding offers that staff can sign from their phone in under 5 minutes.

No printer needed.
Alerts & Remittances

WhatsApp and email notices 7 days before any tax deadline, then again the day before if you haven't acted.

Every Worker Type

Full-time staff, casual workers, contractors, and NGO volunteers. Four worker types, four different rule books, applied automatically on one roster.

Staff See Their Own Payslips

Payslips go out by email the moment you approve a run. Staff open their own with no account to create. You stop forwarding attachments and fielding questions about deductions.

Record Keeping

Searchable history for every payment ever made. Pull a payslip, a payroll journal, or a remittance schedule whenever you need one.

Runs before you have to ask.

Rates update themselves

When the government changes tax bands, your dashboard updates automatically. Zero manual config.

Catches errors (20% variance)

If a payroll run looks 20% different from last month, we flag it. Catch ghosts or typos before you hit pay.

Documents fill themselves

Offer letters, service agreements, casual worker agreements, and volunteer letters of engagement are generated from your core data.

FAQ

Questions we get asked a lot.

WadataHR is currently in private beta. We're onboarding a small group of Nigerian founders and NGOs directly, so we can get payroll and compliance exactly right before opening up more broadly. Request early access and we'll reach out to set up your account personally.
Yes. WadataHR was built specifically for the NTA 2025 PAYE bands effective 1 January 2026. Tax rates, pension contributions, NHF, and WHT are all pulled from a rules table that we update whenever regulations change, so you never have to chase NRS guidance documents yourself. Every payslip shows a full statutory breakdown you can hand to an auditor.
All statutory values (PAYE bands, pension rates, NHF, WHT) live in a compliance rules database, not hardcoded in the software. When PENCOM or the NRS issues new guidance, we update the database and every payroll run after that date uses the new rates automatically. You get a notification in your compliance dashboard when rules change.
Yes, and this is one of the main reasons WadataHR exists. Most Nigerian SMEs have a mixed workforce: a few full-time staff, casual workers paid daily or weekly, and contractors or gig workers paid per job. Each type has different statutory obligations. WadataHR handles all of them in one roster and takes the right rules to each worker type.
WadataHR calculates the correct employer and employee pension contributions for every payroll run and generates a remittance schedule broken down by PFA and RSA pin. Direct electronic remittance to PFAs is on our roadmap. For now, the schedule is export-ready so your finance team or accountant can process it without manual calculation.
Yes. Federal statutory obligations (PAYE, pension, NHF) apply nationwide and WadataHR handles all of them. State-specific development levies and special taxes vary by state; those are flagged in your compliance dashboard so you know what to remit locally, even if we don't automate every one yet.
Three purpose-built reports, each available in Excel and PDF: a PAYE Remittance Schedule formatted for your State Internal Revenue Service, a Pension Remittance Schedule broken down by PFA and RSA pin, and a WHT Remittance Schedule for contractor payments due to the NRS. Payslips are sent to employees by email automatically when payroll is confirmed.
Encrypted in transit and at rest, with each business's records isolated at the database level. We don't sell your data or your employees' data to anyone. See our security page for the full picture.
Yes. Payslips are emailed to each employee automatically when payroll is confirmed, and each employee can open their own payslip without creating an account or remembering a password. A broader self-service portal, covering leave and documents as well, is still on our roadmap.
Not yet. It is on our roadmap, not in the product today. We are working towards a WhatsApp assistant that lets you ask for a payroll summary before you approve a run, and lets your staff check their own payslip without calling you. Right now WadataHR uses WhatsApp for delivery only, sending payslips and compliance alerts to employees who opt in, with email as the default channel either way. We would rather get payroll and statutory deductions exactly right first.
You own your data, always. Before cancelling, you can export all payroll records, worker profiles, contracts, and payslips in Excel and PDF. After cancellation, your data is retained for 30 days so you can request an export, then permanently deleted. We will never hold your records hostage.

Your team deserves to be paid right. Your business deserves to run without you carrying all of it.
