Does HONO handle PAYE and ZRA?

Yes. PAYE is calculated with year-to-date reconciliation, and ZRA return files are generated in the format the Zambia Revenue Authority requires.

Does HONO handle NHIMA?

Yes. NHIMA contributions are processed inside payroll with monthly returns generated for the National Health Insurance Management Authority.

Does the employee experience support local languages?

Yes. Employee self-service, payslips, letters and notifications support English and can be extended to local languages such as Swahili on request. HR configuration remains in English so multi-country teams keep a shared operational language.

How long does a typical Zambia implementation take?

Most Zambia enterprises go live in a few weeks once policies, pay structures and employee data have been shared. Larger multi-entity rollouts are staged by legal entity so payroll never misses a cycle.
