How does JusticeSure calculate PAYE for Nigerian employees?
JusticeSure calculates PAYE (Pay As You Earn) using the current Nigerian tax bands and relief structure under the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA) as amended by the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 (NTA 2025). For each employee, it applies the consolidated relief allowance (CRA — the higher of ₦200,000 or 1% of gross income, plus 20% of gross income), pension contribution relief (8% employee pension contribution under PRA 2014), and any other applicable reliefs before computing the tax using the progressive tax bands. Monthly payslips show gross pay, all deductions (PAYE, pension, NHF, NHIS), and net pay.
Does JusticeSure handle pension and NHF deductions?
Yes. JusticeSure automatically calculates and deducts: (1) Employee pension contribution — 8% of monthly gross emoluments (basic salary + housing allowance + transport allowance) under the Pension Reform Act 2014; (2) Employer pension contribution — 10% of the same base; (3) NHF (National Housing Fund) — 2.5% of basic salary for employees in the private sector, as required by the National Housing Fund Act. All contributions are tracked per employee and the totals are available for remittance to PFAs and the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria.
How does JusticeSure help with Nigerian Labour Act compliance?
JusticeSure includes templates and workflows aligned with the Nigerian Labour Act Cap L1 LFN 2004 and the Employees Compensation Act 2010, covering: minimum wage compliance (current federal minimum wage), leave entitlements (annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave of at least 12 weeks for female employees), overtime pay calculation, termination notice periods, and severance pay requirements. Employment contracts generated by the platform incorporate these statutory minimums automatically.
Can JusticeSure generate employment contracts for Nigerian employees?
Yes. JusticeSure includes Nigeria-law-compliant employment contract templates covering: full-time, part-time, and contract/consultant arrangements. Contracts include the NRS-required details (TIN, compensation structure), statutory leave entitlements, probation terms, confidentiality clauses, post-employment restrictions, termination procedures, and dispute resolution (referencing the National Industrial Court as required). All contracts are e-signature ready.
Are JusticeSure payslips accepted by Nigerian banks and government agencies?
Yes. JusticeSure generates detailed payslips showing the employee's full name, employee ID, pay period, basic salary and all allowances, every statutory deduction (PAYE, pension, NHF, NHIS), net pay, and the employer's name, RC number, and TIN. These payslips are accepted by Nigerian banks for loan applications and salary verification purposes. They are also in the format required for NRS PAYE remittance reconciliation.
Does JusticeSure handle leave requests and balances?
Yes. The HR module includes a full leave management system: employees can request leave through the platform, managers approve or decline, and leave balances are tracked automatically throughout the year. JusticeSure enforces the minimum statutory leave entitlements under the Nigerian Labour Act — at least 6 working days annual leave per year (more for certain categories). Leave balances are visible on payslips and in the HR dashboard.
How does JusticeSure handle PAYE for employees in multiple states?
PAYE in Nigeria is administered at state level — Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), Rivers State Board of Internal Revenue, FCT-IRS, etc. For businesses with employees across multiple states, JusticeSure can track which state each employee's PAYE is payable to (based on their state of residence or the business's fixed place of business in that state) and separate the payroll summary accordingly for multi-state remittance.
Can I manage both HR employees and POS staff in JusticeSure?
Yes. JusticeSure bridges HR and POS — when you add a staff member in the HR module and assign them a POS role (cashier, store manager, sales rep), they automatically get access to the JusticeSure POS at their assigned location. Their sales, shift records, and commission calculations in the POS link back to their HR record. This eliminates the need to maintain separate systems for payroll and POS staff management.
