Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about i-Swipe HR Suite, from going live to keeping your data safe.
Getting started 4
How long does it take to go live?
Most companies are fully live within 30 days. A success manager imports your staff records, sets up your leave, attendance and payroll rules, and trains your HR team. Bigger, multi-location rollouts usually take 8 to 12 weeks.
Can we move over from spreadsheets or another HR system?
Yes. Upload your staff list from Excel or CSV, or we import it for you from your current HR or payroll system. Opening leave balances, salary structures and year-to-date payroll figures come across too, so nothing starts from zero.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new company gets a free trial with full access to its plan and no card needed. See the trial length on the pricing page.
Do we need to install anything?
No. i-Swipe HR Suite runs in the browser on any computer or phone. Staff can also add it to their phone home screen like an app, and use WhatsApp or USSD for the basics.
Payroll & compliance 3
Does payroll handle Nigerian statutory deductions?
Yes. PAYE, pension (PenCom), NHF, NSITF and ITF are worked out for every employee and every pay run, with the schedules you need for remittance. When the rules change, we update them for you.
Can we pay staff in more than one location or company?
Yes. Run payroll for several branches or companies from one account, each with its own pay calendar, while seeing a combined view across all of them.
Can staff see their own payslips?
Yes. Each payslip is available to the employee in their self-service portal the moment payroll is approved, and can be downloaded as a PDF.
Pricing & billing 4
How does pricing work?
Most plans have a flat monthly price (less if you pay yearly) for up to a set number of staff; the largest plan is priced per employee. Admin and manager logins are never extra. See every plan and what it includes on the pricing page.
Is there a setup fee?
Some plans have a one-time setup fee that covers data import, configuration and training. It is shown on each plan on the pricing page.
Can we change plans later?
Yes, at any time. Moving up takes effect straight away; moving down takes effect at the end of what you have already paid for. Your data is never affected.
How can we pay?
By card or bank transfer through Paystack, or by direct bank transfer against an invoice. Yearly billing costs less than paying monthly.
Security & data 3
How is our data protected?
Everything travels over HTTPS, passwords are stored only as hashes, access is controlled by role, and every change is recorded in an audit trail. Read more on our security page.
Who owns our data?
You do. We process it only to run the service for you, never sell it, and you can export everything at any time. See our privacy policy.
Do you follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act?
Yes. We follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and the NDPC's GAID 2025. The app has a privacy notice staff accept, data requests with a 30-day deadline, retention rules and a data processing agreement you can sign.
