NHIF intends to capture the amounts deducted from every employee every month to ensure faster delivery of services to all the members and their dependants. This is done by way of employers submitting to NHIF a list of their employee’s brief details such as name, national/passport id etc, together with the respective rate each employee should be deducted. All this is done online for faster and efficient service delivery to all our clients.

We have introduced a far more efficient & faster method of collecting employers monthly payroll byproducts to NHIF via the Byproduct system. Due to the different types of software applications that employers use to capture their payrolls, we suggest that you use a standardized software application to capture your monthly NHIF byproduct such as Microsoft Excel.
