HR & Payroll Built
for African Business.

Sage 300 People is a powerful, integrated HR and payroll solution designed for medium to large businesses across Africa — typically organisations with 100 or more employees. It unifies payroll processing, personnel management, leave, time and attendance, performance management, learning and development, and employee self-service in one single-database platform. It is specifically localised for 12 African countries, including Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya and Tanzania.

Yes — Sage 300 People is fully localised for Nigeria, with built-in support for PAYE (Personal Income Tax), National Housing Fund (NHF), NSITF levy, ITF training levy, Pension (PenCom contributions), LIRS and FIRS annual filings, and all statutory deductions. All tax calculations are automated, compliant with current rates and updated when legislation changes. Excellium configures all Nigerian-specific rules during implementation.

Employee Self-Service (ESS) is a web-based portal and mobile app that gives every employee direct access to their own HR information. Through ESS, employees can view and download payslips, apply for leave, check leave balances, submit expense claims, update personal details, access training materials and view their performance goals — all without contacting HR. This dramatically reduces the administrative burden on your HR team and empowers employees to manage their own information accurately.

Sage 300 People integrates natively with both Sage 300 Cloud and Sage 200 Evolution. Integrated GL mapping ensures payroll journal entries post automatically to your accounting system — eliminating manual re-entry and reconciliation. Payroll cost centre allocations, deductions and employer contributions all flow seamlessly into your general ledger. Excellium designs and implements all integration configurations as part of your deployment.

Absolutely. Sage 300 People's universal calculation engine is designed to be as simple or as complex as your business requires. It handles multiple employment types (permanent, contract, casual), variable pay elements (commissions, bonuses, allowances), multiple pay frequencies, project-based payroll allocation, retroactive pay adjustments and custom deduction rules — all calculated automatically and accurately on every pay run.

Sage 300 People can be deployed on-premises or hosted on a managed cloud environment for remote access. Its web-based design means HR teams can access the system from any browser, and employees can use the ESS portal and mobile app from anywhere. Excellium offers managed cloud hosting options for organisations that prefer not to maintain their own infrastructure, with secure access, automatic backups and managed updates.

Standard Sage 300 People implementations by Excellium typically run 4–8 weeks from kick-off to first live payroll run, depending on workforce size and complexity. We include a parallel payroll run period to validate accuracy against your existing system before full go-live. More complex deployments involving biometric integration, multiple payroll frequencies, multi-entity setup or custom workflows typically run 8–12 weeks.

Every Excellium Sage 300 People engagement includes a dedicated account manager, monthly system reviews, legislation update support and priority support tickets. As Nigerian tax legislation and statutory rates change (PAYE bands, pension rates, NHF adjustments), Excellium ensures your system is updated promptly to maintain compliance. We build long-term partnerships — our clients have worked with us since 2016.
