2 changes since last month. Everything else matches the last run.

A pay run you can read

Pay monthly, fortnightly or weekly. Draft the run and Looped shows what changed since the last one before you finalise it. Hourly pay and overtime can come from Track hours. Finalised payslips are never edited, so a correction goes on the next run.

PAYE, UIF, SDL and ETI

Tax is worked out with medical tax credits, retirement fund contributions and tax directives, and ETI is settled monthly with carry-forward. Every payslip has a full calculation view, so you can check the working.

Filings, prepared

EMP201 figures in the order eFiling asks for them, the UIF declaration as a uFiling file, EMP501 as an e@syFile export, IRP5 and IT3(a) certificates, UI-19s and the COIDA Return of Earnings.

Posted to Financials

Finalising a run posts one journal: salaries, employer contributions and what you owe SARS. When the salary payments and the EMP201 payment show up on your bank statement, they match against it.

Payslips and My pay

Email branded payslip PDFs when you’re ready. Each employee can open My pay to see their payslips and IRP5s on their phone, and they don’t take a paid seat.

Moving from Sage

Bring the year to date across from Sage’s reports, compare a dry run with Sage to the cent, then confirm. Your employees see their earlier Sage payslips in My pay too.

Payroll holds your most personal records.

Only the people you choose

Owners and Payroll Admins run payroll, and only an owner can hand out a payroll role. Employees see their own payslips in My pay and nothing else.

Every change on record

An employee’s details are kept as dated versions with a reason for each change, and an audit log records who did what. You can require a second person to approve a run before it’s final.

Identity and bank details encrypted

ID, passport, tax and bank account numbers, dates of birth and home addresses are encrypted before they’re stored. Only a person can change bank details, the new number is typed twice, and the payment file lists new and changed accounts on their own.

Payroll prepares the figures and the files, and you still submit them on eFiling, e@syFile and uFiling yourself. It pays nobody either: you download a payment file for Standard Bank, or a CSV for any other bank. Leave balances aren’t tracked yet, and taking over from Sage works for monthly payroll. Payroll is for companies registered in South Africa.

Try it on this month’s pay run.
