Senior Payroll Officer (Group Companies)

A labour-heavy mining contractor in George needs a payroll person who never misses a cut-off. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is in George (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Calculate leave pay, notice pay and final pay under the BCEA
• Import clock-card data and check overtime against approved hours
• Answer staff payslip queries clearly and in private
• Submit Compensation Fund returns of earnings
• Declare UIF on uFiling and help staff with UI-19 forms

• Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
• Reliable with deadlines that cannot move
• Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
• At least 2 years of full-function payroll
• You keep salary information private under POPIA

• SAPP registration as a Payroll Practitioner
• Bargaining council wage experience, such as MIBCO or the security sector

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

• 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.
