🏛️ What Is GHRIS?

GHRIS stands for Government Human Resource Information System — an online platform developed by the Government of Kenya to centralize human resource management for public service employees.

The system provides a "from entry to post exit" centralized, web-based, self-service information system for HR managers and individual employees. Before GHRIS, getting your payslip meant waiting for printed copies or visiting your HR department. Now, you can access your payslip electronically from anywhere.

Key Features of GHRIS

  • 📄 View Payslip: Access and view your payslips online — no physical copies needed
  • 📊 P9 Forms: Download your end-of-year tax forms for KRA returns
  • 📝 Update Personal Information: Change your mobile number, email, and next of kin details
  • 📋 Performance Appraisal: Complete SPAS forms (PSC 37a and PSC 37b) online
  • 💼 Job Advertisements: View jobs advertised by the Public Service Commission
  • 🔒 Secure Access: Robust security measures to protect your sensitive information

Important: GHRIS is free for all government employees. You should never pay anyone to access your payslip.

📊 GHRIS vs UHR vs T-Pay vs TSC Online

Many government employees are confused about which portal to use. Here's a quick comparison:

Portal URL What It's For Who Uses It
GHRIS Main ghris.go.ke Payslips, P9 forms, leave, bank details Most government employees
UHR Payroll uhr.kenya.go.ke Payroll management, payslips Some government departments
T-Pay TSC tpay.tsc.go.ke Payslips for teachers TSC teachers only
TSC Online Career tsc.go.ke Transfers, promotions, discipline TSC teachers

The Simple Rule: GHRIS = Money matters (payslips, P9, loans, bank details). TSC Online = Career matters (transfers, promotions, discipline).
