Job Description

People get paid right and on time because of you at a retail head office in Pretoria East. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Home base is a retail head office on the Pretoria East side of Gauteng. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • Release the salary bank file for authorisation
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling
  • Import clock-card data and check overtime against approved hours
  • Run weekly and monthly payrolls and check the variance reports
  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Answer staff payslip queries clearly and in private

Must-haves

  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • You keep salary information private under POPIA
  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move
  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount plus certified copy of your matric.
  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 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 Pretoria East.

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.
