WhatsApp payslips for South African employers
WhatsApp payslip delivery lets you send every employee their payslip on the messaging app they already use daily. Payroll Africa sends a POPIA-compliant WhatsApp message with a secure, time-limited link to the payslip PDF — no email account needed.

Why WhatsApp payslips
Over 90% of adult South Africans use WhatsApp. Email addresses for blue-collar and field workers are often unreliable. WhatsApp delivery guarantees the payslip reaches the employee within seconds.
How it works
After you approve a payroll run, Payroll Africa sends each employee a WhatsApp message using an approved template with a secure link. The link expires after 7 days.
