HR & Payroll,
built for Ethiopia.

Ethiopian pension is split between employee and employer contributions, paid monthly to the relevant pension authority — POESSA for private-organization employees, PSSSA for public servants. NYLOS computes both contribution sides as part of gross-to-net, accumulates monthly and year-to-date totals per employee, and exports POESSA/PSSSA-ready monthly summary files for direct filing.

Pension rates and pensionable income definitions occasionally change as policy evolves. NYLOS tracks the rates centrally; updates propagate to every active customer on the same release. Historical pension summaries are preserved for audit and remain queryable years after employees leave the company.

When an employment relationship ends, the Ethiopian Labor Proclamation 1156/2019 defines precise severance entitlements by service-year bands and termination reason. NYLOS computes the severance amount, the notice pay (in lieu or in days), the unused leave encashment, the pro-rated allowances and the final income tax in one final settlement record — with every calculation traceable to the proclamation clause that drives it.

The final settlement is recorded with full audit trail: the user who initiated it, the user who approved it, the calculation breakdown, and any manual overrides with the override rationale. Years later, during an audit or in a labor-court matter, the full reasoning is one click away.

Higher-education cost-sharing deductions for applicable employees are handled inline with configurable rates and durations. Loan recoveries, salary advances, garnishments, employee savings-plan contributions and union dues all run through the same deduction framework, with prioritization rules ensuring statutory deductions always take precedence over voluntary ones if the gross is insufficient.

Many Ethiopian businesses operate from multiple branches — a head office in Addis Ababa, plus regional sites in Hawassa, Bahir Dar, Dire Dawa, Mekelle, Adama. NYLOS HR & Payroll handles multi-branch operations as a first-class concern: branch-level role permissions, separate approval chains per branch, branch-segmented reporting alongside entity-level rollup, and fully audited cross-branch transfers when employees move.

For groups operating multiple legal entities, NYLOS supports multi-entity payroll on the same instance — each entity with its own MOR registration, its own bank-file accounts, its own filing identity — while still allowing shared employee master data where the company structure permits.
