Group Life Insurance

Off by default — enable it if your policy is on the platform.

beginner· 1 view· Updated 7/18/2026

Nigerian employers must arrange a group-life policy (PenCom PRA §4(5)), though many manage it outside payroll.

Group Life is OFF by default for all Nigerian businesses. To have AkountFly compute and post the group-life cost line in payroll, enable it under SettingsTax.

Additionally, you can indicate Group Life coverage per employee by navigating to Edit Employee and selecting the appropriate option under Tax.
