Job Description

People get paid right and on time because of you at a payroll bureau in Rustenburg. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Rustenburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

The work, day to day

  • Submit Compensation Fund returns of earnings
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling
  • Import clock-card data and check overtime against approved hours
  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Calculate leave pay, notice pay and final pay under the BCEA
  • Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off
  • Release the salary bank file for authorisation

You'll need

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

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Rustenburg really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your matric 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. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Rustenburg.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

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.
