For Subcontractors
A subcontractor lives between two pressures: the gang wants its money on Friday, and the main contractor wants proof before releasing the next payment. If your wage records are a notebook and a WhatsApp photo, you lose both arguments. FundiPay gives subcontractor payroll in Kenya the evidence it needs — your own gang payroll runs, and attendance you can prove.

Run your own gang payroll
You know your gang better than anyone, and FundiPay lets you pay it properly. Set rates per worker, per gang or per task, capture attendance on a geofenced muster roll at the gate, and pay each fundi directly by M-Pesa B2C. Your crew is paid individually and on time, so you are not the middleman in a dispute about the split. Bila ya kutoa — every worker sees their own payslip.
Prove attendance to the main contractor
When the main contractor asks how many workers you had on site, you should not be guessing.
- A geofenced muster roll for each gang and each site.
- Locked, timestamped attendance for the period claimed.
- Clean wage payment records per worker.
- Exportable evidence for the contractor's audit file.
Get paid faster with clean records
Main contractors and their quantity surveyors are quicker to certify work when the labour behind it is documented. A claim backed by a verified muster roll and a record of wages paid survives scrutiny; a hand-written claim invites a delay. Clean records do not just protect you — they shorten the gap between work done and money received, which for a subcontractor is the difference between surviving a cycle and not.
Grow without losing control
As you take on more gangs or more sites, the old system of trusting each gang leader's notebook breaks down. FundiPay keeps one record per worker across all your gangs, so you can see your total wage cost, spot where a gang is over-claiming, and keep your best fundis paid on time as you scale. The control that used to live in your head now lives in the system.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own M-Pesa business account?
Wages are paid from a FundiPay account by M-Pesa B2C, so you do not need to withdraw and distribute cash yourself. Your office can fund the run and approve it, and each worker is paid directly.
Can I pay casual workers I hire for a single job?
Yes. Workers are onboarded with verified ID and phone number and can be paid for a single day or a full contract, and their record stays available if you hire them again.
How does this help me be taken seriously by the main contractor?
Verified attendance and clean wage records position you as a professional subcontractor rather than a labour broker. That reputation earns you better terms and faster certification of your measured work.
Can I track more than one gang at once?
Yes. Each gang can have its own rates and its own attendance, and the whole operation rolls up into one payroll view and one wage cost report.
