Job Description

Accurate payslips, clean tax filings and happy staff: that's the job at a payroll bureau in Gqeberha. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll be based at a payroll bureau in Gqeberha. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What your day looks like

  • Run weekly and monthly payrolls and check the variance reports
  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling
  • Import clock-card data and check overtime against approved hours
  • Submit Compensation Fund returns of earnings

Must-haves

  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll
  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
  • You keep salary information private under POPIA
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA
  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move

What's in it for you

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

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: list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount plus payroll qualification certificate.
  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 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 Gqeberha.

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.
