Job Description

This farming enterprise in Newcastle needs someone who knows payroll tax and SARS inside out. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

  • Reconcile medical aid, pension and provident fund schedules.
  • Submit the monthly EMP201 on SARS eFiling and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL.

You'll need

  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA
  • Matric plus a payroll, bookkeeping or HR qualification
  • Trusted with confidential salary data
  • SARS eFiling and EMP501 reconciliations without supervision

Helpful, not essential

What you get
