Senior Payroll Officer (Group Companies)

A payroll bureau in Roodepoort 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 Roodepoort-based, with most of your time spent at a payroll bureau. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off
• Process garnishee orders and third-party deductions
• Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling
• Release the salary bank file for authorisation
• Submit Compensation Fund returns of earnings
• Calculate leave pay, notice pay and final pay under the BCEA

• Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
• You keep salary information private under POPIA
• Reliable with deadlines that cannot move
• Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma

• Experience with medical aid and pension fund reconciliations
• Knowledge of employment equity and WSP reporting
• Bargaining council wage experience, such as MIBCO or the security sector

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

• 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.
