The payroll company built for Jamaica

What a Jamaica payroll company should provide
Statutory compliance — guaranteed
PAYE, NIS, NHT, and Education Tax calculations that match TAJ requirements. Rates updated automatically when the Ministry of Finance announces changes. No manual rate entry, no compliance risk.
Payroll software you run yourself
Self-service payroll platform. Run payroll in 5 minutes. Generate payslips, remittance reports, and bank files without waiting on an external team.
Managed payroll option
Prefer to outsource completely? Our managed payroll service handles everything — calculation, payslips, remittances, and TAJ filings — on your behalf every pay cycle.
Employee self-service
Employees access their own payslips and leave balances through a self-service portal. Reduce HR admin requests and give your team visibility into their pay.

What does a payroll company in Jamaica actually do?
A payroll company in Jamaica processes employee wages and ensures all statutory deductions are calculated correctly and remitted on time. This includes Pay As You Earn income tax (PAYE), National Insurance Scheme (NIS), National Housing Trust (NHT) contributions, and Education Tax. The payroll company generates payslips for employees, remittance schedules for TAJ, and handles the bank payment process. Some payroll companies offer full outsourcing where they manage the entire process; others (like Payroll Jamaica) provide software that gives your team the tools to run payroll internally with automation handling the compliance.
How do I choose the right payroll company in Jamaica?
When choosing a payroll company in Jamaica, look for: (1) Built specifically for Jamaica — not a generic platform adapted from another market. (2) Automatic rate updates — when the Ministry of Finance changes PAYE thresholds or NIS rates, the system updates without manual intervention. (3) TAJ-compliant reports — SO1, P24, and remittance schedules in the correct format. (4) Local support — a team that understands Jamaica payroll law, not a generic overseas helpdesk. (5) Transparent pricing in JMD with no hidden conversion fees.
Is Payroll Jamaica a local Jamaican company?
Yes. Payroll Jamaica is built for the Jamaican market and focused entirely on Jamaica's payroll and HR compliance environment. Our platform is designed around TAJ requirements, NIS regulations, NHT contribution rules, and the Jamaica Income Tax Act — not adapted from a UK or US payroll system. We serve businesses across Jamaica including Kingston, New Kingston, Portmore, Spanish Town, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and Mandeville.
What is the difference between a payroll company and payroll software?
A payroll company can offer payroll software (a platform your team uses to run payroll), managed payroll (fully outsourced payroll processing), or both. Payroll Jamaica provides a self-service software platform that automates compliance — you run payroll yourself in minutes, without needing to outsource to an external operator. For businesses that prefer complete outsourcing, we also offer managed payroll services where our team processes your payroll each cycle.
