Every employee, every payday, on one record.
Linkbridge HRM is the people and payroll system for African businesses — records, onboarding, leave, attendance, payroll and approvals in one place, where every change is dated, approved and traceable.
Payroll · March
128 employees
Your people run the business. Spreadsheets run your people.
A staff list in Excel, leave approved in WhatsApp, payroll in a separate tool, contracts in a drawer, and one person who knows how it all fits together. It holds — until it doesn't.
No one file is the real one
Employee data is spread across sheets, folders and inboxes, so it's duplicated, outdated, or quietly wrong.
Payroll is a monthly high-wire act
Variable inputs are re-keyed by hand, and a single wrong cell doesn't show up until staff start calling.
Nobody agrees on leave balances
Requests are approved in chat and tracked in a sheet, so entitlements, carryover and proration are always in dispute.
HR spends the week on admin
Payslip requests, letters, balance queries and profile changes all land on the same two desks.
No evidence when it matters
A salary changed, a payment went out — but who approved it, when, and on what basis is anyone's guess.
Exits leave doors open
Someone resigns, and assets, final pay and system access are chased down informally for weeks.
One employee record, from offer to alumni.
In Linkbridge HRM, every step feeds the next. A new hire fills in their own details before day one. Those details become the employee record. The record drives leave eligibility, attendance rules and pay. Approved leave, attendance and salary changes become payroll inputs. Payroll produces payslips, bank files and journals. An exit closes tasks, revokes access and preserves the history. Nothing is re-typed, and nothing is quietly overwritten.
Records flow into payroll
Joins, exits, unpaid leave, salary changes and approved attendance arrive as payroll inputs — no re-keying.
History is never overwritten
Every role, manager, grade and salary change is effective-dated, so you can reconstruct any employee on any date.
Everyone sees their own slice
HR, payroll, finance, managers and employees each work from the same record — and only the parts their role allows.
From “welcome aboard” to “here's your final payslip.”
The whole working relationship, coordinated in one system — with the right people doing the right task at the right time.
Joins
The new hire submits their own details, bank information and documents before day one, while HR, IT and finance work a shared checklist.
Works
They book leave, check attendance, read policies and download payslips themselves — from a phone, without emailing HR.
Gets paid
Payroll pulls approved inputs, flags what looks wrong, explains every figure, and is finalised by someone other than whoever prepared it.
Moves on
Promotion, transfer or exit runs as a workflow — approvals, final pay, asset return, access revoked, history retained.
Everything the employee lifecycle needs, in one place.
Every module is built on the same employee record — so HR, managers, payroll and finance stop reconciling each other's copies.
One record for every worker
Personal, employment, job, pay, bank and statutory details for permanent staff, contract staff, interns and consultants alike.
- Effective-dated employment history
- Sensitive fields locked to the right roles
- Your own custom fields and validation
An organisation chart that's current
Entities, branches, departments, teams, grades and positions — with reporting lines you can actually trust.
- Interactive chart by entity or branch
- Headcount and span of control
- Transfers and promotions as workflows
Onboarding that finishes
A secure invitation collects the new hire's details and documents, while every team works from one checklist.
- Preboarding before day one
- Tasks for HR, IT, finance and facilities
- Contracts generated and acknowledged
Self-service on any phone
Employees handle their own requests and documents on mobile web — including staff who have no corporate email.
- Payslips, policies and documents
- Leave, corrections and profile changes
- Managers approve from the same place
Leave with a balance you can explain
Your policies, your calendars, your approval chains — with every balance backed by a transaction you can point to.
- Accrual, proration, carryover and expiry
- Public holidays by location
- Team calendars and overlap warnings
Attendance without the arguments
Schedules, clock-in and timesheets that produce lateness, absence and overtime figures everyone can check.
- Clock in from web or mobile
- Import from spreadsheets or devices
- Corrections approved, originals kept
Nigeria payroll, run with control
Configurable earnings, deductions and statutory components, calculated from approved inputs and explained line by line.
- Variance checks against last period
- Maker-checker before finalisation
- Payslips, bank file and GL journal
Answers without a spreadsheet
Headcount, workforce cost, absence, movement, document expiries and approval turnaround — ready when leadership asks.
- Role-based dashboards with drill-down
- Date-effective workforce reporting
- Exports that respect field permissions
Payroll you can prove, not just process.
The month's most consequential run, with checks before it calculates, an explanation for every figure, and a second pair of eyes before a naira moves.
Open the period
Joins, exits, salary changes, unpaid leave, approved attendance, loans and benefits load themselves into the run.
Check before you calculate
Validation flags missing bank details, duplicate accounts, negative net pay and unusual movement — blocking what should be blocked.
Review, then approve
See each employee's calculation broken down, compare against last period, and route it to an approver who didn't prepare it.
Finalise and pay
The run locks, and payslips, the bank file, the payroll register, statutory-support reports and the GL journal come out of it.
Built for how African businesses actually employ people.
Nigeria-first on payroll and compliance, and architected so the next country is a configuration pack — not a rewrite.
Statutory rules, versioned
Payroll and statutory logic ship as dated country packs, so when the rules change your historical runs stay exactly as they were.
Naira and your bank's format
Salary payment files in the formats your bank expects, reconciled to approved net pay before they leave the building.
Works for staff without email
Phone-based invitations and mobile-first screens, built to hold up on the connections your workforce actually has.
Multi-entity, Africa-ready
Several legal entities, branches, currencies and work calendars under one organisation, ready for the next market you enter.
Data residency
Deploy in-region so employee, pay and identity data stays where you need it to.
Tailored to each person who touches HR.
Head of HR
Employee records, onboarding and exits, leave policy, documents and the workforce picture.
Lands on: PeoplePayroll Administrator
Pay components, variable inputs, validation, calculation and reconciliation before submission.
Lands on: PayrollLine Manager
Approve leave and corrections, see the team calendar, and complete onboarding tasks — nothing more.
Lands on: ApprovalsEmployee
Own profile, leave balance, attendance, documents, policies and payslips — from a phone.
Lands on: Self-serviceEvery sensitive action leaves a trail.
Salaries, bank details and identity documents are the most sensitive data most businesses hold. The controls around them are foundations here, not settings someone remembers to switch on.
Least privilege by default
Access is scoped by module, action, population and field — a manager sees their team, not everyone's pay.
MFA and step-up checks
Multi-factor sign-in, plus an extra check before viewing pay data, changing bank details or approving a run.
Approvals, not assumptions
Salary changes, bank changes and payroll all route through approval chains — and nobody approves their own request.
Tamper-evident audit
Who changed what, when, why and through which workflow — append-only, exportable, and impossible to quietly edit.
From spreadsheets to live payroll, with you the whole way.
Implementation is where HR systems succeed or quietly fail. We treat it as part of the product, not an afterthought.
Discovery
We map your entities, structure, worker types, leave policies, pay components and approval chains.
Configure & import
Your organisation is set up and your staff data is imported through validated templates — errors surface before anything commits.
Parallel payroll
We run Linkbridge alongside your current process and reconcile it to the naira, twice, before anything goes live.
Guided go-live
Employees are invited in controlled batches, managers are trained, and we stay beside you through the first cycles.
Start with the record. Add what you need.
