Job Description

A hospitality group in Krugersdorp needs a payroll person who never misses a cut-off. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Krugersdorp; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Release the salary bank file for authorisation
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling
  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Calculate leave pay, notice pay and final pay under the BCEA
  • Answer staff payslip queries clearly and in private
  • Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off

Must-haves

  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll
  • Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
  • You keep salary information private under POPIA
  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay

Extra points for

  • Experience with medical aid and pension fund reconciliations
  • SAPP registration as a Payroll Practitioner
  • Knowledge of employment equity and WSP reporting

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: certified copy of your matric plus payroll qualification certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

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

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.
  • Mention EMP501 and IRP5 by name; employers want proof you can handle the year-end tax cycle.
