Inside People & payroll

The details make the difference.

People & payroll

Keep a record for each person who works for you, take new joiners through a checklist, track their leave, and run the month’s payroll with tax and pension worked out. Approving a run posts it to your books, and each person gets a payslip.

Full feature guide →
A record for everyone
Contact details, job and department, who they report to, probation, bank and tax details, emergency contact and documents such as contracts and ID, kept private.
Onboarding and offboarding checklists
Ticking the last onboarding item makes someone active. When someone leaves, record why and when, and a leaving checklist starts.
Leave that adds up
Leave types with yearly allowances, carry-over and paid or unpaid. Balances, requests and approvals, a calendar of who is away, and public holidays that do not count against anyone.
Payroll rules you control
Pension, NHF, NSITF, rent relief and the PAYE tax bands are settings, not fixed rules. The defaults follow Nigeria’s personal income tax rules from January 2026. Have your accountant confirm them for your business.
Part months and unpaid leave
Someone who joins or leaves mid-month is paid for the days they worked. Approved unpaid leave comes off their pay. A bonus is taxed at the rate it lands on, not as twelve months of pay.
Payslips as PDFs
Each payslip shows earnings, deductions and net pay in your brand colour. Email them all at once or one at a time. Nobody is sent the same one twice by accident.
It posts to your books
Approving a run records salaries and employer costs as expenses and what is owed to staff, tax and pension as liabilities. Marking it paid moves the money out of your bank account.
Private by design
Only owners, admins and accountants see staff records and pay. Everyone else sees just their own leave and payslips, matched to them by email.

HR letters

Pick a kind of letter, choose the person, and it writes itself from their record. Change any word, then download it as a PDF on your letterhead or email it. Offers can be accepted or declined online.

Full feature guide →
Eleven letters to start from
Offer of employment, confirmation, promotion, salary review, warning, query, contract renewal, resignation accepted, termination, lay-off (redundancy) notice and an experience letter.
Your wording, not ours
Edit any template, reset it to the original, or write your own. Click a value to put it in the text. Anything you invent becomes a box to fill in.
Optional parts that disappear
A severance line only appears when you enter an amount, and a benefits section only when you list some. No half-empty sentences.
A proper letterhead
Your logo and details, a reference number and date, headings and bullets, a signature block with your signer’s name and title, and page numbers.
Accept an offer online
The recipient opens a page, reads the letter, and accepts or declines by typing their name. You are told, and the answer is kept on the letter. The PDF also has a box for signing by hand.
A record of every letter
Each employee has their letters on their page, with who it went to and when. Withdraw a sent offer and its link stops working.
From accepted offer to employee
When an offer is accepted, add them as an employee in a click, with their name, job, start date and pay filled in.

Before you get started.

Practical answers about what you can do with people & payroll.

Does KudiBooks pay my staff?

No. It works out what each person is owed and gives you a bank schedule to upload to your bank. Marking a run as paid records that you paid it.

Does it pay PAYE and pension to the authorities?

Not yet. It works out and records what you owe, and you pay it over yourself. Record those payments against the payable accounts as bills or journal entries.

Are the letters legally ready to use?

They are sensible starting points, not legal advice. Notice periods, severance and disciplinary steps depend on the contract and the law, so have a lawyer check anything important before you send it.

Does accepting online count as a signature?

The recipient’s typed name and the time are recorded on the letter. Whether that is enough for your contract depends on the contract and the law. The PDF also has a box to sign by hand if you prefer.
