Information based on publicly available data as of March 2026. Features and pricing may have changed. OrangeHRM pricing estimated from published rates for 25 employees on the Advanced plan. BambooHR (US-based, no Jamaican payroll) is excluded from the table but discussed below.
Strong HR administration platform with recruiting, performance reviews, and time tracking. Free open-source tier available for businesses willing to self-host. Held their inaugural Caribbean HR Summit in Kingston in April 2025, and they have a dedicated Caribbean sales page.
No native payroll processing at all. Their payroll connector passes data to a third-party system, so NIS, NHT, PAYE, and Education Tax are not handled. The Advanced plan runs roughly $1,380/year for 25 employees, plus a $600 implementation fee. You would still need a separate payroll provider.
Purpose-built for Jamaican payroll compliance. BizPay Central handles NIS, NHT, PAYE, and Education Tax natively. Includes time tracking, employee self-service, salary advances through BizPay Cash, ACH payments, and General Ledger reporting. Featured regularly in the Jamaica Gleaner.
Payroll-focused. No recruiting or applicant tracking, no performance management, no development plans, no talent suite. If you need to manage the full employee lifecycle beyond paying people, you will need additional software alongside BizPay.
Deeply established in Jamaica's payroll market, particularly with large organizations like hotels and call centres running thousands of employees. Multi-company, multi-currency support. Proven government reporting and statutory compliance. Employee portal with data analytics.
Payroll only. No HR module, no recruiting, no time and attendance, no performance management. On-premise software that requires local installation, not cloud-native SaaS. Strong if payroll is all you need, but you will be piecing together other systems for everything else.

Jamaica HR Questions
Common questions about managing HR in Jamaica.
