Job Description

You'll run weekly and monthly payrolls for a security services company in Durban Central, from clock data to bank file. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The work is in Durban Central, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Process garnishee orders and third-party deductions
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling
  • Answer staff payslip queries clearly and in private
  • Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off
  • Submit Compensation Fund returns of earnings
  • Run weekly and monthly payrolls and check the variance reports

Must-haves

  • Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
  • You keep salary information private under POPIA
  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA
  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience with medical aid and pension fund reconciliations
  • Bargaining council wage experience, such as MIBCO or the security sector

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Durban Central really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: payroll qualification certificate, certified copy of your matric plus list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Never attach real payslips from a past employer; blank out names if you use one as an example.
  • Say how many employees you paid and how often, such as "1,200 weekly-paid staff on VIP"; volume matters.
