Job Description

People get paid right and on time because of you at a payroll bureau in Kariega. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll report in Kariega. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Calculate leave pay, notice pay and final pay under the BCEA
  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Process garnishee orders and third-party deductions
  • Declare UIF on uFiling and help staff with UI-19 forms
  • Run weekly and monthly payrolls and check the variance reports

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Knowledge of employment equity and WSP reporting
  • SAPP registration as a Payroll Practitioner

On offer

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

How to apply

  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: payroll qualification certificate, list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount plus certified copy of your matric.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.
