Connection types differ by provider. Harvester may provide a direct payroll export, a compatible payment file, or a connected time-and-attendance workflow for payroll processing. The Stanbic option is a bank-upload salary-payment TXT export, not a direct bank connection.
Biosyn is our recommended time-and-attendance partner. See how attendance totals are imported into Harvester.
For your employees
Employee Self-Service (ESS) payslips
Give employees secure online access to view and download their payslips. Each request is verified and approved by the employer.
Optional, read-only reporting
Ask questions about your payroll with AI
Licensed users can ask AI to summarise payroll totals, compare periods and prepare draft journals. The connection is read-only and cannot change payroll. AI can also help turn timebooks into a reviewable Excel input file; check all details before importing. Information requested may be shared with your chosen AI provider.
For your accounts
Payroll journals and accounting exports
Prepare Paycode Journal summaries and Excel or CSV exports for Sage, Xero and QuickBooks workflows. Review wages, deductions and departmental allocations before importing into your accounting software; entries are never posted automatically.

Our Story · Mazabuka, Zambia · Since 2000
Two kinds of harvest. One enduring purpose.
Harvester's first payroll program began with a sugar-cane farmer's request near Mazabuka in 1999. The name reflects our early farming customers, but it also carries a deeper meaning: the Christian calling that brought Sean and Joanne to Zambia and the people they came to serve.
“I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” — John 4:35
