Still Using Excel for Payroll? That's a Crime Against Productivity

Let’s be honest. If your HR guy still uses Excel sheets to process salaries, calculate PAYE manually, and send payslips via Gmail attachments… you might be running your company like a mjengo site. No offense to fundis, but surely—this is 2025 bana, not 1998!

Now, before you start forming, ask yourself:

  • Are leave days disappearing like KPLC tokens?

  • Do your employees ask, “Hii payslip iko aje?” every month?

  • Is your HR always stressed, hairline receding faster than the economy?

If the answer is yes, you need HR and payroll automation. Like yesterday.


The Payroll Woes – Aka The Githeri Process

Let’s paint the scene:
You’re using Excel, there's a formula error, 3 people didn’t get paid, one person got paid double. Brenda in Accounts is crying in the office washroom. Charles, the office intern, just leaked salary slips on WhatsApp.

Sasa mtafanya aje?


Enter: HR & Payroll Automation (a.k.a your saving grace)

Automated HR systems like FaidiHR (shameless plug, lakini ni ukweli) handle:

  • Payroll processing without errors

  • NHIF, NSSF, PAYE compliance without migraines

  • Payslip generation, leave tracking, and employee data all in one click.
    One click, not 59 Excel tabs.


Real Talk:

If your business can afford WiFi, a fridge full of Delmonte, and Friday lunch at KFC, you can afford a modern HR software. Stop making your HR team suffer like ushago teachers using chalk in the digital era.


Before You Go…

Ask yourself:
"Is my HR system helping me grow, or am I just winging it like a boda guy on Thika Road?"

Stop the madness. Automate. Eliminate errors. Keep Brenda from quitting.
