- **Statutory Compliance**: Native calculation profiles for statutory taxes and funds (PAYE, NHIF/SHIF, NSSF, Housing Levy, UIF, SDL, Pension, Gratuity settlements, WHT). Export-ready statutory filings (KRA P10, SARS IRP5, FIRS, etc.).

- **Self-Service Employee Portal (`/me`)**: Dedicated area where an employee sees only their own record — leave balances and request history, submitting and withdrawing time-off requests, a team calendar showing who is in or out alongside public and company holidays, and their own filed documents. Confidential documents and every management page stay out of reach.
