Give your staff access
to their salary
before payday.

Your employees know they have a salary coming. But until payday, cash emergencies send them to informal lenders who charge extortionate rates. VONO HR solves this — with a salary advance and payday loan facility built directly into the employee app.

Because their salary is already verified in VONO's payroll, employees can access a fair, instant advance without paperwork, collateral or a trip to the bank. The repayment deducts automatically from the next payroll — no chasing, no awkwardness.

  • Employee requests advance directly in the app
  • System verifies against payroll data — no manual review
  • Disbursed instantly to mobile money wallet
  • Repayment deducted automatically from next salary
  • Fair, transparent terms — no informal lender rates
  • Employer sees all advances in the payroll dashboard

Questions

Things people ask us

How many staff can I manage on VONO HR? +
Vono HR & Payroll is built for businesses with 25 to 200 employees. If you're smaller than that, our Digital Cashbook covers basic staff tracking, and we can discuss your specific needs. If you're larger, talk to us — we can accommodate enterprise requirements too.
Does it handle Kenya's statutory deductions automatically? +
Yes — PAYE, NSSF, NHIF/SHA, Housing Levy and HELB are all calculated automatically within the payroll engine. You don't need to work out tax bands or contribution tables manually. The system updates whenever government rates change.
Can employees see their own payslips? +
Yes — VONO HR has an Employee Self-Service app. Staff can view their payslips, check their leave balance, apply for leave, see their attendance records, and request a salary advance — all from their own phone, without needing access to the main HR dashboard.
How does the salary advance work for my employees? +
Eligible employees can request a salary advance directly from their VONO HR app. The system checks their payroll data and approves eligible amounts instantly — no paperwork, no manual intervention from you. The advance is disbursed to their mobile money wallet, and the repayment is automatically deducted from their next month's salary. You see all advances in your payroll dashboard.
Does it work alongside Vono BOS or the Cashbook? +
Yes — Vono HR & Payroll is part of the same VONO ecosystem as the Digital Cashbook and BOS. If you use BOS for your operations, HR handles the workforce side of the same business. Together, they give you a complete view of your business — operations, finances and people — in one connected platform.
