Job Description

People get paid right and on time because of you at a retail head office in Midrand. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

  • Process garnishee orders and third-party deductions
  • Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off
  • Calculate leave pay, notice pay and final pay under the BCEA
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling

What you need

  • You keep salary information private under POPIA
  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
  • Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll
  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move

Helpful, not essential

  • Bargaining council wage experience, such as MIBCO or the security sector
  • SAPP registration as a Payroll Practitioner

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Midrand really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: payroll qualification certificate plus list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount.
  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 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Midrand.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Never attach real payslips from a past employer; blank out names if you use one as an example.
  • Mention EMP501 and IRP5 by name; employers want proof you can handle the year-end tax cycle.
