Help the businesses you work with sort out HR and payroll, and earn a referral fee.
You already know which small businesses are battling with payslips, leave and hiring. Point them to Khaya HR with your own referral link. When they become paying customers, you earn a once-off fee, and their price stays the same.
Apply to become a partnerWho it's for
The partner pilot is for South African businesses and sole proprietors who advise small businesses or sit close to them, for example:
Placement and recruitment agencies:
your clients hire people, and then they have to pay and manage them.
Bookkeepers and accountants:
you see the payroll admin pile up every month.
Tax practitioners and business consultants:
you're the first person a small business owner asks about compliance.
Industry associations, business networks and similar:
anyone small business owners trust for advice.
KhayaHR for accountants and bookkeepers
To join, you need to be 18 or older, have a South African bank account, and not be a Khaya HR employee or contractor.
How it works
1.
Apply and get your link.
Apply online. Once you're approved, you get your own referral link (like https://khayahr.co.za/?ref=YOURCODE) and code.
2.
Share it, honestly.
Share your link with businesses you think it will help, and tell them up front that you may get a referral fee. The business signs itself up. You never need to send us anyone's details.
3.
Earn when they become customers.
When a business you referred becomes a paying customer and has paid for its second month (or paid for a year up front), you earn your fee. We send you a statement every month and pay you by EFT.
What partners earn
- R70 per employee, once-off, for each qualifying business you refer (including VAT if you're a VAT vendor).
- Up to R3,500 per business. The fee covers up to 50 employees. For bigger accounts, we agree the fee with you in writing.
- The fee is counted on the business's billed employees on its 2nd paid monthly invoice, or on its annual prepayment invoice.
- When you earn it: once the business's 2nd monthly subscription payment clears, or once an annual prepayment clears.
- When you're paid: by EFT, by the 15th of the month after the fee is earned, once your balance reaches R300. Smaller balances carry over to the next month.
- Your referrals pay the same. Your fee never changes the price the business pays. Khaya HR starts from R49 per employee per month.
- Fair clawback. If a business cancels, stops paying or gets a refund within 3 months after your fee is earned, we deduct that fee from your future payouts. We never send you an invoice to pay it back in cash.
FAQs
What counts as a qualifying referral?
A business that's new to Khaya HR, signs up with your link or code, starts a trial within 60 days of first using your link, and becomes a paying customer within 90 days of starting that trial. Businesses that are already customers, had a Khaya HR trial in the last 6 months, or were already talking to us in the last 90 days don't count.
What if the business forgets to use my link?
Tell us. If we can confirm how the referral happened within 60 days of the business signing up, we may credit it to you. We let the business know first, and it has 14 days to object.
Do I earn on anything other than the subscription?
No. The fee is once-off and only covers the monthly or annual subscription. It doesn't grow if the business adds employees later, and you don't earn it on other products or add-ons.
Can I refer my own business?
No. Fees aren't paid on your own business or household, businesses you own or direct, or your own employees, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
What do I need to tell people when I share my link?
Before you share, tell them in writing that you may get a fee. Something like: "I may receive a once-off referral fee from Khaya HR if you sign up. It doesn't change your price." If you're an accountant, bookkeeper, tax practitioner or property practitioner, your professional body's rules also apply.
What will I see on my statements?
Every month you get a statement with totals only: how many qualifying referrals you have, fees earned, clawbacks and your balance. To protect our customers, statements don't name the businesses or show their details.
What do I need before my first payout?
Your legal name, registration number (if any), SARS tax reference, VAT status and bank details with proof of account. We check your bank details before we pay.
Know a small business that needs better HR and payroll?
Join the Khaya HR referral pilot, share your link, and earn a once-off fee when the businesses you refer become customers.
