Who is on the payroll?
“How many staff do you pay each month, and who prepares the payroll?”
The affiliate learning guide
Good conversations.
Confident introductions.
Welcome, partner. Get to know ZimbaPay Cloud Payroll, explain its value and help a business take the next step.
Listen first
partner, start with their business.
A useful introduction begins with a few simple questions. Give the customer room to explain how they work.
How is it done today?
“Do you use spreadsheets, another system or a manual process?”
What needs to get easier?
“What takes the most time—calculations, payslips, changes or reporting?”
Make a note of the need. Ask how often they pay staff, which pay currencies they use and who approves the payroll. These details, staff count and their main challenge help you recommend the next step.

What do PAYE, NSSA, NEC and AIDS Levy mean?
- PAYE
- Income tax deducted through payroll, calculated from the company’s configured tax rules.
- NSSA
- Employee and employer contributions, shown separately using the company’s configured NSSA settings.
- NEC
- Sector or company contributions, using the applicable NEC configuration.
- AIDS Levy
- A statutory item included in the payroll deduction calculations according to the configured rules.
Explain the workflow and ask the ZimbaPay team to confirm the customer’s statutory configuration.
Recurring pay, one-off changes and staff loans
Recurring allowances and deductions stay on an employee’s pay setup for future runs. One-off adjustments capture a change for a particular run, such as an additional earning or deduction. Staff loan records bring scheduled repayments and remaining balances into the payroll picture.
The payroll workflow and supporting reports
A payroll run moves from draft → review → approval → finalisation, with locked history after finalisation. Team roles and the audit trail help the company follow who prepared and approved the work.
The outputs include the payroll register, statutory reports, PDF payslips and Excel workbooks, including ZIMRA earnings output. Show a customer where the information is available for their review and reporting process.
A practical way to say it: “You can prepare the payroll and find the supporting information in one place.” Confirm the customer’s required configuration with the ZimbaPay team.
