Leave that answers itself
No more “how many days do I have left?” on WhatsApp at 9pm. Everyone sees their balance, requests in a tap, and approvals route to the right manager — with the statutory minimum always protected.

Sound familiar?
The admin grows faster than the team does.
One person ends up holding leave days in their head, attendance in a notebook and contracts in a drawer. It works — until someone goes on leave, an audit lands, or the team doubles. Here’s what changes when it all lives in one place.
Attendance you can trust
Clock-ins, lateness and overtime are captured as they happen — not reconstructed from memory at month-end. When payroll asks for hours, the numbers are already there and already correct.
Records that survive an audit
Contracts, IDs, NSSF and NHIF details, disciplinary history — one tidy file per person, access-controlled and logged. When the labour officer or a DPA request arrives, you’re ready in minutes, not weeks.
One platform, your modules

TalantaHR is modular by design. Start with leave and attendance, add performance when you’re ready, turn on shifts when you open a new branch. You never pay for what you don’t use.
Employee records
One source of truth for every person — contracts, documents, assets and history, all in a single profile.
Leave & time off
Balances, accruals and approvals that respect the Employment Act leave floor and your own policy on top.
Time & attendance
Clock-ins, lateness and overtime captured live, with a CSV fallback for sites without devices.
Shifts & rosters
Build rosters on a people-by-days grid, fill open shifts, and get warned before you break a rest rule.
Performance
Set objectives, run balanced-scorecard reviews and keep every check-in on the record.
Training & skills
Plan training, track a skills matrix and manage budgets and approvals in one view.
One system, three points of view
Everyone sees exactly what they should — nothing more.
The same modules quietly reshape themselves around each person. An employee sees their own day. A manager sees their team. HR sees the whole organisation. Role-based access keeps sensitive data where it belongs.
- Employees clock in, request leave and update their own details — self-service, no queue at the HR desk.
- Managers approve, see team attendance and run reviews — scoped to the people who report to them.
- HR & owners configure policy, see the whole organisation and answer any question with a report.
Approvals, end to end
A request that doesn’t get lost.
From the moment an employee taps “request” to the manager’s approval and the updated balance, every step is tracked, timestamped and visible. No forgotten chats, no double-booked teams, no awkward “I never got that”.
- Requests check the balance and notice period before they’re sent.
- A team calendar flags clashes so cover is never a surprise.
- Approved leave flows straight into attendance and payroll inputs.
Security & compliance
Compliance isn’t a feature you bolt on. It’s the floor we build on.
Employee data is sensitive, and Kenyan law treats it that way. TalantaHR is built around the Data Protection Act 2019, enforces the Employment Act 2007 leave and notice floors, and keeps OSHA 2007 safety records in order — with role-based access and an audit trail on every sensitive record.

From the teams who switched
Less chasing. More managing.
“
We used to lose half of every Monday reconciling the attendance book. Now it's done by the time I get my coffee. The leave arguments just stopped.
“
An auditor asked for three years of contracts and statutory records. I pulled it in one afternoon instead of one week. That alone paid for it.
“
My team of forty now requests leave on their phones and I approve from mine. I stopped being the bottleneck and they stopped waiting on me.
Questions, answered
The things teams ask before they switch.
Is TalantaHR built for Kenyan labour law?
Yes. Leave entitlements follow the Employment Act 2007 statutory floor, sensitive employee data is handled under the Data Protection Act 2019, and workplace safety records align with OSHA 2007. The system enforces these rules so your team can't accidentally fall below the legal minimum.
Does TalantaHR run payroll?
TalantaHR prepares clean payroll inputs — overtime, leave, final dues and statutory bases — and hands them to the payroll system you already use. It doesn't process payroll itself, so there's nothing to rip out and replace.
Do we have to buy every module?
No. TalantaHR is modular. Switch on only what you need today — say leave and attendance — and add performance, shifts or training as you grow. You're never paying for features sitting unused.
How long does it take to get started?
Most SMEs are up and running within days. Import your employee list, set your leave and attendance policies once in Set-ups, and the rules apply everywhere from then on. Our team helps with the first import.
Can people use it on their phones?
Yes. Employees clock in, request leave, view payslip inputs and read announcements from a focused mobile view — so the people who aren't at a desk all day are still included.
