Job Description

You'll run weekly and monthly payrolls for a labour-heavy mining contractor in Vereeniging, from clock data to bank file. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll report in Vereeniging. Relocation is not covered for this one.

  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll
  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA

What's in it for you

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

How to apply for this job

  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 plus list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Vereeniging; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

  • Mention EMP501 and IRP5 by name; employers want proof you can handle the year-end tax cycle.
  • Say how many employees you paid and how often, such as "1,200 weekly-paid staff on VIP"; volume matters.
