For businesses

Run payroll and HR without the overhead

Get an HR consultant who knows Zambian law, plus a modern platform doing the heavy lifting. Your team gets paid correctly and on time — you focus on the business.

Payroll built for Zambia

PAYE, NAPSA, NHIMA and SDL calculated to statute — every run, every employee. No spreadsheets, no guessing at the current rates.

People, contracts and leave

Employee records, contracts, leave balances and requests in one place. Add allowances, track terminations, and keep a clean audit trail.

Compliance out of the box

Statutory rates are versioned and updated centrally. Work permits, tax clearance and other expiries get flagged before they lapse.

Employee self-service

Staff get payslips by email, request leave and see their own records — from any phone. Mobile-first, fast, and simple.

For HR consultants

Partner with us to serve Zambian SMBs

We're building PeopleZM with HR consultants, not around them. You bring the client relationships and HR expertise; we bring the platform, compliance engine and shared operations.

One dashboard, every client

Manage all of your clients from a single workspace. Switch between tenants, run their payroll, and see what needs your attention.

No platform to build

Skip the years and cost of building your own payroll software. Log in, onboard a client and start delivering — from day one.

50/50 revenue share

We split platform revenue with our partner consultants. You own the client relationship; we run the platform and infrastructure.

Real outsourced HR

PeopleZM is designed for consultants delivering outsourced HR service to Zambian SMBs — not a self-service tool clients have to figure out on their own.

Why PeopleZM

Built for Zambia, hosted in Africa

Zambia-first, by design

Not a global tool ported to Zambia. Every calculation, form and workflow is built for how Zambian businesses and law actually work.

Data hosted in Africa

Your data lives on infrastructure hosted in Africa (Bunny.net, Johannesburg region) — no long round-trips overseas.

Compliant with Zambian statutes

NAPSA, NHIMA, PAYE and SDL are calculated per current rates and versioned so historical payslips stay correct.

Employee data protected

Row-level access controls, audit logs and role-based permissions. Only the right people see the right records.
