Job Description

A hospitality group in Ermelo needs a payroll person who never misses a cut-off. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

Home base is a hospitality group on the Ermelo side of Mpumalanga. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Submit Compensation Fund returns of earnings
  • Import clock-card data and check overtime against approved hours
  • Run weekly and monthly payrolls and check the variance reports
  • Release the salary bank file for authorisation
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling

You'll need

  • Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
  • You keep salary information private under POPIA
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA
  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move

Helpful, not essential

  • SAPP registration as a Payroll Practitioner
  • Experience with medical aid and pension fund reconciliations
  • Bargaining council wage experience, such as MIBCO or the security sector

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: certified copy of your matric, 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. 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 Ermelo.

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.
  • Mention EMP501 and IRP5 by name; employers want proof you can handle the year-end tax cycle.
