Job Description

People get paid right and on time because of you at a retail head office in Germiston. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Germiston; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What your day looks like

  • Process garnishee orders and third-party deductions
  • Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off
  • Import clock-card data and check overtime against approved hours
  • Release the salary bank file for authorisation
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling

You'll need

  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA
  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay

Nice if you have

  • Experience with medical aid and pension fund reconciliations
  • Bargaining council wage experience, such as MIBCO or the security sector
  • Knowledge of employment equity and WSP reporting

What you get

  • Paid SAPP membership
  • Structured increases linked to certification
  • Remote work outside payroll week

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount, payroll qualification certificate 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. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 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 Germiston.

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.
