  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates

What you need

  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move
  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll
  • You keep salary information private under POPIA
  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA

What you get

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.

Before you hit apply

  • Never attach real payslips from a past employer; blank out names if you use one as an example.
  • Mention EMP501 and IRP5 by name; employers want proof you can handle the year-end tax cycle.
