All of O'Sense

HR Lite

Payroll that does the maths. Staff who clock in with their face.

The employee register is free with every plan. Add payroll and every payslip carries PAYE, NAPSA and NHIMA worked out — sent to the employee as a PDF on WhatsApp. Leave is asked for and approved on WhatsApp too, and the whole workforce clocks in with a face, not a card.

What you get

HR Lite, in three parts.

Every employee on file — free

Names, departments, contracts, bank or Mobile Money details, invitations and org structure — free with every plan, whatever else you buy.

Statutory maths, automatic

PAYE, NAPSA and NHIMA are computed on every pay run, for every employee. No spreadsheet, no second-guessing.

Clock in with your face

A blink, a match, a timestamp. No cards to lend, no buddy-punching, and it works where there is no signal. The face template never leaves the worker's phone.

A worker clocking in with their face on the O'Sense app: blink check, on-time confirmation, template kept on the phone

The clock-in nobody can lend.

A worker opens the O'Sense app, looks at the phone, blinks once, and is clocked in — with the time, the site and whether they were late. Cards get lent and PINs get shared; a face does not. It runs on an open engine with no per-worker licence, and keeps working with no signal.

  • Blink liveness check — a photo of a face does not pass
  • The face template stays encrypted on the handset; only the enrolment photo reaches the office
  • Lateness and short shifts computed against the 8-hour statutory day; overrides need a site photo
  • Lost or replaced phone? Every enrolment restores from the office in minutes

Pay run management for one-click monthly payroll

Run the month in one click.

Approve the roster once. After that payday is a button — raises, bonuses and advances flow straight through into the run.

  • Pay runs you can review before releasing
  • Raises, bonuses and advances applied automatically
  • A full history of every run you have processed
app.osense.io/dashboard/payslip
Payslip showing PAYE, NAPSA, NHIMA, net pay, gratuity and leave

Payslips that do the maths.

Every slip shows gross, deductions and net pay with gratuity and leave accruing alongside — ready to print or send straight to the employee.

  • PAYE, NAPSA and NHIMA broken out line by line
  • Gratuity and leave accrual on every slip
  • Staff can be invited to log in and see their own
  • Sent to the employee as a PDF on WhatsApp the moment the run is released
A leave request sent as a plain WhatsApp text, arriving on HR's phone with Approve, Reject and Ask-for-change buttons

Leave, asked and answered on WhatsApp.

An employee texts "leave 3–7 March, sick". HR's phone gets it with Approve, Reject and Ask-for-change buttons. One tap on Approve records the days, updates the balance and tells the employee. No form was filled in by anyone.

  • Dates are never guessed — a request without dates is asked, not assumed
  • Inclusive counting, day-first dates, next-year logic for December requests
  • The conversation behind every request is kept on the leave page
  • Leave still accrues in the background, so the balance is always ready

Built around Zambian payroll and Zambian sites, not adapted to them.

Statutory deductions are part of the pay run itself, and attendance is proven by a face on site — not a card handed to a friend.

PAYE Calculated per employee, every run
NAPSA Applied automatically
NHIMA Applied automatically
