Force HRM vs Workpay
A fair comparison. Workpay is a real, capable product — the difference is depth on Kenyan statutory compliance versus breadth across markets.
The core difference
- Both are self-serve payroll software — you add your team and the app runs payroll. Workpay is built to cover HR and payroll across many African markets at once. Force HRM is built for one thing: Kenyan statutory payroll, calculated and filed automatically down to the specifics of PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and the Housing Levy.
- The right one depends on whether you need broad multi-country coverage or the deepest possible fit for Kenya specifically.
Choose Workpay if
- You manage a multi-country team and need broad geographic coverage in one platform.
- Employer-of-record (EOR) services are a requirement for your hiring model.
Choose Force HRM if
- You're a Kenyan business and want statutory filing built into the software itself, tuned to current KRA, NSSF, SHIF and Housing Levy rules — not a generic multi-country module.
- You want KES-denominated pricing with no currency conversion, and an AI/MCP interface for running payroll from Claude, from a team based where your business operates.
