Why employers in Uganda use Wola

Lending to your own staff and repaying through payroll works well, until it lives in spreadsheets and email.

  • One place for the request, the approvals, the payout and the repayments, instead of four files and a finance officer's memory.
  • Your loan rules are applied the same way to everyone, and the reasons are on the record.
  • Finance sees, every month, which deductions payroll missed or got wrong, while there is still time to fix them.
  • When someone leaves owing money, the balance is flagged instead of forgotten.

Built to sit beside the payroll you already run

Wola handles the loan side. Your payroll system keeps doing payroll.

  • Each cycle Wola gives payroll the list of loan deductions to make, as a CSV. The actual deductions come back the same way, and Wola flags the gaps.
  • PAYE, NSSF and the rest of payroll stay exactly where they are. Wola does not run payroll.
  • Amounts are in Ugandan shillings, and prices are in shillings too.
  • No installation: Wola runs in a browser on a phone or a computer.

Your policy, not ours

Every organisation lends differently, so the rules are settings, not code.

  • Limits as a multiple of salary or a share of take-home pay, maximum terms, and blocks for probation and final warnings.
  • An approval chain for each loan product: for example line manager, HR, finance, then an executive for larger amounts.
  • One cap on all loan deductions together as a share of take-home pay. You set the limit. The law and your contracts may limit what you can deduct, so confirm the figure with your own lawyer.
