Job Description

You'll run weekly and monthly payrolls for a security services company in Umhlanga, from clock data to bank file. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The site is in Umhlanga; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

  • Calculate leave pay, notice pay and final pay under the BCEA
  • Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off
  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Run weekly and monthly payrolls and check the variance reports
  • Answer staff payslip queries clearly and in private
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling
  • Declare UIF on uFiling and help staff with UI-19 forms

What you need

  • Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move
  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA
  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll

Nice if you have

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

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: certified copy of your matric, payroll qualification certificate plus list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

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

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.

How to stand out

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