Payroll and HR Administrator (SME)

A retail head office in Mbombela needs a payroll person who never misses a cut-off. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Mbombela, Mpumalanga, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off
• Submit Compensation Fund returns of earnings
• Answer staff payslip queries clearly and in private
• Declare UIF on uFiling and help staff with UI-19 forms
• Calculate leave pay, notice pay and final pay under the BCEA
• Release the salary bank file for authorisation

• Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
• Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA
• Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
• At least 2 years of full-function payroll

• SAPP registration as a Payroll Practitioner
• Knowledge of employment equity and WSP reporting

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

• Never attach real payslips from a past employer; blank out names if you use one as an example.
• Say how many employees you paid and how often, such as "1,200 weekly-paid staff on VIP"; volume matters.
