Payroll is a major expense for most companies and a primary component of labour cost.
There is also a huge statutory and compliance responsibility on companies regarding the correct management of their payroll.

Adjustments to employee’s tax rates must be implemented timeously as tax rates change
Payslips must be prepared and provided to employees monthly
New and departing employees must be recorded correctly and timeously
Relevant monthly tax returns (PAYE/ UIF/ SDL) must be prepared and submitted to SARS by the specified dates
