Job Description

You'll run weekly and monthly payrolls for a retail head office in Kimberley, from clock data to bank file. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a retail head office in Kimberley. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Capture new hires, terminations, increases and deductions before cut-off
  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Run weekly and monthly payrolls and check the variance reports
  • Answer staff payslip queries clearly and in private
  • Import clock-card data and check overtime against approved hours
  • Submit Compensation Fund returns of earnings

Must-haves

  • You keep salary information private under POPIA
  • Comfortable with Excel reconciliations
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA
  • Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll

Extra points for

  • SAPP registration as a Payroll Practitioner
  • Bargaining council wage experience, such as MIBCO or the security sector
  • Knowledge of employment equity and WSP reporting

What you get

  • Group life and disability cover
  • Paid SAPP membership
  • Remote work outside payroll week

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount, payroll qualification certificate plus certified copy of your matric.
  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 6 working days.

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

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.
