The five-minute question

“If a labour inspector walked in tomorrow and asked for every employee's leave balance, their payslips, and a signed contract — could you pull it up in five minutes, and would it be right?”

For most businesses, the honest answer today is no — and that’s genuinely common. Find out exactly where you stand, for free.

What Metlha does

See exactly how payroll works

The part most Botswana businesses need to get right first — from a real monthly run to the records an inspection asks for.

Metlha payroll run — 5 employees, PAYE, payslips and the BURS ITW-7 return

  • Run payroll in minutes

    Draft, calculate and approve a full monthly run — PAYE off the current BURS tables, including the new 27.5% band.

  • Payslips & the BURS return

    Payslips as PDFs, the bank EFT file for salaries, and the ITW-7 return — prepared, ready for you to submit.

  • Leave with real balances

    A per-employee leave ledger you can trust: requests, approvals and balances that actually add up.

  • Records that pass inspection

    The statutory registers an officer asks for — employees, contracts, leave — exportable on demand.

  • Final pay, worked out for you

    Severance, accrued leave and notice calculated on termination — documented, not done by hand each time.

Metlha vs. the late-night spreadsheet

Most Botswana businesses run payroll by hand — Excel, a calculator, leave tracked in someone's head. It works until it doesn't. Here's what changes.

Compliant today, ready for tomorrow. Your PAYE stays current (including the 27.5% band), your registers export in a click, and Metlha is already built for the new Labour Act — so an inspection is a non-event, not a scramble.

Payroll & PAYE

By hand: Worked out by hand on a calculator
Metlha: PAYE from current BURS tables, incl. the 27.5% band

BURS return (ITW-7)

By hand: Retyped each month, hope it's right

Work management
