No bolted-on compliance module, no generic template with Zambia added as an afterthought. Veridian was built by someone who's filed the NAPSA return by hand, argued with an auditor over NHIMA, and tracked gratuity on a spreadsheet until it broke.
"Ten years running Zambian payroll by hand taught me exactly where it breaks — the NHIMA basis argument with an auditor, the gratuity nobody sees coming until contract end, the one salary edit that quietly throws off the whole sheet. I built the tool I wished existed."— Raphael, Veridian Payroll
Every feature here exists because it solved a real Zambian payroll problem first — not because a template needed a sixth card.
25% of basic pay over the contract, tax-free, for every fixed-term employee — with the running liability visible on your dashboard months before it's due, not the week you have to pay it.
Every salary change, statutory exemption, and role change is logged with who, when, and why — so you're ready to demonstrate the basis to ZRA, NAPSA, or NHIMA if they ever ask.
Import your whole staff list from a spreadsheet. Repeated NRC or employee numbers are flagged before they import, so nobody gets paid twice.
Generate EFT files in the format your bank expects for the whole payroll at once, plus a signature-ready cash list for anyone paid outside the bank.
Automatic accrual, commutation, and payouts at the statutory daily rate — basic salary ÷ 26, exactly as Section 73 sets out.
Same calculation methodology as ZRA's official PAYE calculator, NAPSA capped at the statutory ceiling, and an NHIMA basis your auditor can actually choose.
The four tiers ZRA taxes income through — the same ones Veridian applies automatically to every payslip, updated the moment ZRA changes them.
Running monthly payroll for one company, without needing to also be a tax specialist.
Managing payroll for several SME clients under one login, switching companies in a click.
Processing pay for their own staff directly, without a finance team to lean on.
