🏛️ 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.[reference:7]

The system provides a "from entry to post exit" centralized, web-based, self-service information system for HR managers and individual employees.[reference:8] Before GHRIS, getting your payslip meant waiting for printed copies or visiting your HR department. Now, you can access your payslip electronically from anywhere.[reference:9]
