Senior Payroll Officer (Group Companies)

A labour-heavy mining contractor in Bloemfontein needs a payroll person who never misses a cut-off. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Bloemfontein, Free State, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Submit Compensation Fund returns of earnings
• Import clock-card data and check overtime against approved hours
• Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
• Declare UIF on uFiling and help staff with UI-19 forms
• Run weekly and monthly payrolls and check the variance reports
• Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off

• Reliable with deadlines that cannot move
• At least 2 years of full-function payroll
• Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
• Comfortable with Excel reconciliations

• Knowledge of employment equity and WSP reporting
• SAPP registration as a Payroll Practitioner

• Remote work outside payroll week
• Structured increases linked to certification

• Never attach real payslips from a past employer; blank out names if you use one as an example.
