Job Description

Accurate payslips, clean tax filings and happy staff: that's the job at a security services company in Prospecton. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The site is in Prospecton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What you'll actually do

  • Answer staff payslip queries clearly and in private
  • Import clock-card data and check overtime against approved hours
  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling
  • Declare UIF on uFiling and help staff with UI-19 forms
  • Process garnishee orders and third-party deductions

Must-haves

  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move
  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll
  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA

On offer

  • Remote work outside payroll week
  • Paid SAPP membership
  • Group life and disability cover

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your matric, payroll qualification certificate plus list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount.
  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 9 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Prospecton; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

  • 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.
