Job Description

A retail head office in Soweto needs a payroll person who never misses a cut-off. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Soweto, Gauteng, 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 your day looks like

  • Run weekly and monthly payrolls and check the variance reports
  • Declare UIF on uFiling and help staff with UI-19 forms
  • Submit monthly EMP201 returns and pay PAYE, UIF and SDL on eFiling
  • Compile bi-annual EMP501 reconciliations and issue IRP5 certificates
  • Release the salary bank file for authorisation

What you need

  • Experience on Sage 300 People, VIP, PaySpace or SimplePay
  • Sound knowledge of PAYE, UIF, SDL and the BCEA
  • Reliable with deadlines that cannot move
  • Matric plus a payroll certificate or diploma
  • At least 2 years of full-function payroll
  • You keep salary information private under POPIA

Helpful, not essential

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

What you get

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

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Soweto really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your matric, payroll qualification certificate plus list of payroll systems you have run, with headcount.
