  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling

  • You keep salary information private under POPIA
  • Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA

Nice if you have

  • Knowledge of employment equity and WSP reporting
  • Experience with medical aid and pension fund reconciliations
