Payroll, leave and attendance in one place.
Staff clock in and out and apply for leave from their phones. Each month Kwikri works out PAYE, NSSF and Local Service Tax, takes off unpaid leave, emails payslips and tells you what to pay URA, NSSF and the council.

Leave and attendance, without the paper register
Clock in and out from a phone
Each employee gets their own login. One tap clocks them in using the server’s time, so nobody can change it, and the location is saved when the phone allows it.
Who is in, who is late
See today’s board at a glance: at work, late, absent or on leave. Monthly timesheets with hours worked, ready to download to Excel.
Leave requests and approvals
Staff apply on their phone; HR or the owner approves with one tap and the employee gets an email. Annual (21 days), sick, maternity (60 working days), paternity (4 days) and unpaid leave are set up to the Employment Act 2006.
Straight into payroll
Approved unpaid leave is deducted automatically, and each payslip line shows the days present. Weekends and Uganda public holidays are never counted.

About payroll
Which deductions does Kwikri work out?
PAYE using the URA monthly bands (from July 2026: nil up to UGX 335,000, then 20%, 25% and 30%, plus 10% on pay above UGX 10 million), NSSF at 5% from the employee and 10% from the employer, and Local Service Tax by pay band, taken in four equal parts from July to October.
What happens when the rates change?
We update Kwikri when URA, NSSF or Parliament change the rules. Earlier months keep the rates that applied then. You can also add your own deductions, such as a SACCO, medical cover, a loan or a salary advance.
Can Kwikri prepare my URA and NSSF returns?
Yes. Each payroll run gives you a PAYE schedule (TIN, gross, chargeable income, PAYE, LST), an NSSF contribution schedule (5% + 10%) and a Local Service Tax list as Excel-ready files, with totals, to fill in the returns on the URA and NSSF portals.
Can employees get their payslips by email?
Yes. Send every payslip in a run with one click. Each employee gets a private link to view and print their own payslip.
Does Kwikri file my returns?
No. Kwikri shows exactly what to pay for PAYE, NSSF and Local Service Tax each month; you file PAYE on the URA portal, NSSF contributions on the NSSF portal and Local Service Tax with your council (KCCA in Kampala), as usual.
Can I change a figure before paying?
Yes. Every amount in a payroll run can be reviewed and edited until you mark the run as paid.
How do staff clock in?
Give each employee an Employee login. They open Kwikri on their phone and tap Clock in or Clock out. The time comes from the server, and the location is saved if they allow it. A manager can also clock people in on a shared computer.
How does leave work?
Employees apply from their phone and see their balance. HR, an Admin or the owner approves or declines, and the employee gets an email. Unpaid leave is taken off their pay in the next payroll run.
