Job Description

Accurate payslips, clean tax filings and happy staff: that's the job at a retail head office in Krugersdorp. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Krugersdorp, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

The work, day to day

  • Answer staff payslip queries clearly and in private
  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off
  • Import clock-card data and check overtime against approved hours
  • Submit Compensation Fund returns of earnings

Must-haves

  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA
  • You keep salary information private under POPIA
  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move

Extra points for

  • SAPP registration as a Payroll Practitioner
  • Bargaining council wage experience, such as MIBCO or the security sector
  • Knowledge of employment equity and WSP reporting

What's in it for you

  • Remote work outside payroll week
  • Group life and disability cover
  • Paid SAPP membership
  • Structured increases linked to certification

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your matric, list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount plus payroll qualification certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.
