eSolde Senegal is the official platform of the Directorate General of the Budget (Direction générale du Budget): to view and download your payslip as a state employee, log in only at https://esolde.sec.gouv.sn, with your pay number (matricule de solde) and your password. Socium is a private HR software publisher: we have no connection with eSolde, the Directorate General of the Budget or the Directorate of Pay (Direction de la Solde), and we cannot open your account or retrieve your payslip. Based on the official pages, this guide explains how to activate your account, log in, download a monthly or annual payslip, reset a password and whom to contact about a pay error. Updated 5 November 2026.

What is eSolde Senegal and who can use it?
eSolde (also typed “e solde” or “e-solde”) is the online service of the Directorate of Pay, part of the Directorate General of the Budget within the Ministry of Finance. On its website, the Directorate General of the Budget describes it as the “platform for viewing payslips online”. The Ministry’s official procedure page, “S’inscrire à la plateforme E-solde” (register on the E-solde platform), states that it gives government employees online access to their monthly and annual payslips, that registration is free and that access is immediate.
The platform was launched on 12 September 2019, with support from the State IT Agency (Agence de l’informatique de l’État), so that employees no longer had to go through their bank or a counter to get their payslip.
It covers employees whose entitlements are processed by the Directorate of Pay: civil servants, magistrates, military personnel and other state employees paid from the personnel appropriations of the general budget. If your salary is paid by another body, or if you work in the private sector, your employer gives you your payslip. Our guide to the payslip in Senegal for private-sector employees explains your rights.
Activating your eSolde Senegal account
According to the Ministry’s page, employees register after being placed on the state payroll (mise en solde), that is, once the Directorate of Pay has taken over their salary. A newly recruited employee therefore waits until they are paid by the state.
Documents to prepare
- your pay number (matricule de solde);
- your national identity card: its number and a scanned copy, as a PDF or photo;
- a phone number and your home address;
- a personal email address that you actually check: it is used to reset the password.
If you do not know your pay number, ask your HR department or the Directorate of Pay, never an intermediary.
Step-by-step activation
- Type the address esolde.sec.gouv.sn into your browser yourself and check that it ends in sec.gouv.sn.
- Click “Activer votre compte”.
- Enter the pay number, ID number, email address, phone number and address requested.
- Attach the copy of your ID, then click “Enregistrer” (save).
- Then return to the login screen to access your space.
Do this yourself, never through a third party.
Logging in to eSolde Senegal and downloading your payslip
- Open the portal: the page is titled “Connexion sécurisée” (secure login) and reads “Bulletins de salaire en ligne” (payslips online).
- Enter your pay number and password, then click “Se connecter”.
- Choose the monthly or annual payslip and the period you need.
- Save or print the file, then log out, especially on a shared computer or in an internet café.
The annual payslip summarises the year: useful for a loan application or an administrative file.
Lost password
Click “Mot de passe oublié” (forgot password) below the login button. In the “Pour les agents de l’Etat” section, enter your pay number and the email address given at activation, then confirm. A second form, for users who do not have a pay number (“Pour les partenaires”, for partners), asks only for an email address: it is not meant for employees. If you no longer have access to the registered email address, contact the Directorate of Pay.
Pay error: filing a claim with the Directorate of Pay
eSolde Senegal displays your payslip; it does not correct it. At its launch, it was presented as a way to submit requests and claims online as well: if your space does not offer this option, contact the Directorate of Pay directly. It has a studies and claims division, a reception and information office and an office in charge of user relations.
- Prepare your pay number, the payslips concerned and your supporting documents, and describe the discrepancy: line, month, expected amount.
- Keep a dated copy of your request.
Several changes in personal situation follow a dedicated procedure, listed on the Directorate General of the Budget website under Services aux usagers › Solde: recording a marriage, a child or a recruitment, administrative leave allowance, maternity leave allowance or compensatory leave pay for non-civil-servant employees, pilgrimage advance, transport subsidy. Then check on your next payslips that the change has been applied.
Common eSolde Senegal problems
- Pay number rejected: make sure it is your pay number and not another identifier; an employee not yet on the state payroll cannot register.
- ID copy rejected: the form accepts a PDF or an image; scan a clear, legible copy.
- Lost email address: without it, the online reset fails; go through the Directorate of Pay.
- Payslip not found: check the period and the type of payslip (monthly or annual); if a month is missing, ask the Directorate of Pay.
- Page does not load: try again later, never through a “mirror” site.
Phishing: protecting your account
An eSolde Senegal payslip contains your identity, your pay number and your salary: enough for identity theft. A few rules:
- the official address is esolde.sec.gouv.sn; a .com address, a shortened link or a look-alike name is a fake;
- registration is free: nobody should charge you for activation or for sending a payslip;
- never give your password by phone, text message, WhatsApp or email, even to someone claiming to work for the Directorate of Pay;
- be wary of pages, apps and groups offering to “download your payslip” for you or to “unlock” your account;
- if in doubt, close the page and type the address yourself, or go through budget.sec.gouv.sn.

Private-sector employees and employers: no eSolde
In the private sector, there is no public payslip portal. Under the Labour Code enacted by law n° 2026-18, the employer draws up, certifies and sends the payslip at the time of payment, on signed paper or electronically if availability, integrity and confidentiality are guaranteed (article 202). See our guides to the 2026 Senegal Labour Code and to net salary calculation in Senegal.
For an employer, giving staff online access means producing itemised payslips and placing them in a secure employee space. That is what Socium’s payroll software for Senegal does: electronic payslips, itemised, placed in the employee space at the time of payment and available in the mobile app. The payroll simulators give a gross-to-net estimate.
