Hi, I am wondering if there is any "kenyan" open source payroll software out there..... I am considering working on an Open Source Payroll System for Kenyan market but I do not wish to do if anyone out there has a similar project - I will prefer to support an existing initiative. If none exists though.....and your interested in using your spare time...for a noble cause.....then drop me an email an email we can chat a way forward..... Regards PS: Maybe we need an index for open source software in Kenya.... Regards (again) :-)
Bernard, Its about time Kenyans woke up and do what they need to do....this is a great idea, hope my blog post at http://blog.majibu.com/2009/10/05/my-challenge-to-you-the-african-yes-we-can... something to do with this - by the way, your name is somewhere there among a few others.

Kioko, have a look at http://www.orangehrm.com/, last time i evaluated it for my employer, it was rejected because it didn't take into account the unique payroll habits of Kenyans, but I think its a technically sound project worth your consideration as a contributor :-) On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 4:58 PM, bernard kioko <bernsoft@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Peter, I did evaluate this a while back....and it appeared to be more on the HRM side. I think I am more inclined to a system that solves Kenya's unique payroll issues as you say. I will see what response we get by Wednesday..... If none is available....then we get our hands dirty... PHP, MYSQL......for tools....

Speaking more as an integrator, orange presents a good starting point. Developing a payroll functionality on a HR system gives opportunity for a bigger and receptive audience, and with open source projects, the community is key.

I am wondering if there is any "kenyan" open source payroll software out there.....
I am considering working on an Open Source Payroll System for Kenyan market but I do not wish to do if anyone out there has a similar project - I will prefer to support an existing initiative.
I was involved in payroll software dev for some time (note: not offering to be on team just changiaring kidogo;-) One finds that all *international* always need extensive localisation to cater for local market. They included tax brackets, taxable benefits, allowances, loans, cooperative(sacco), statutory deductions.. etc among a host of parameters a number of which changed at each year's budget. Used to include bank export (e.g.'sfi') files for banks to accept/ auto process direct into staff accounts. Payroll softwares also needed KRA certification/approval and was mandatory to cite the approval -P9s, P10 and P11..etc. Otherwise various packages 'just did their own things', for example, <http://www.ratio-magazine.com/20080907151/Kenya/Kenya-Revenue-Authority-and-Citibank-to-Settle-Out-of-Court-in-Tax-Dispute.html> In short, you can never go wrong, let me re-phrase that, you have a BIG market ahead if you develop one FOSS-based. Hope this helps.
While we are all looking for a kenyanized way of handling this, i think we need to take a step back, look at the realities of oss. For one, kenya borrows heavily from our colonial masters, so international is achievable. Secondly, i think its better to have a very high level of customization to suit many scenarios. This will attract more users and hence feed back and support. On 10/5/09, Gakuru Alex <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com> wrote:
