Good product, frustrating support queue

We use maybe sixty percent of what we pay for. Bargaining council agreements as a first class feature. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.

What works

Bargaining council agreements as a first class feature. Payslips are clear and employees understand them.

What does not

No bargaining council support. Wage and shift payroll is weaker than salaried.

Response from the vendor21 Mar 2026

Thank you for this. We recognise the pricing concern and would like to review your plan with you, as there may be a better fit for your usage. Our team will be in touch.

Compliant, but the interface fights you

We use maybe sixty percent of what we pay for. Piece rate and variable hour calculation. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Good value, with some real rough edges.

What works

Strong reseller support in industrial regions. Statutory outputs are correct.

What does not

The reporting cannot break cost down by department. No bargaining council support.

Three tax year ends without a single correction

The tax year end is what convinced me. Nothing broke. Piece rate and variable hour calculation. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Piece rate and variable hour calculation. BCEA leave accruals are right without configuration. Support answers in South African hours and understands the question.

What does not

Reporting outside the statutory pack is thin.

EMP501 reconciliation took forty minutes

We run about ninety staff on this and it has not missed a submission. Piece rate and variable hour calculation. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Weekly wage and shift handling that general purpose payrolls get wrong. Support answers in South African hours and understands the question. Employee self service cut payslip queries almost to zero.

What does not

The interface takes a while for a new administrator.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Support actually understands South African payroll

The tax year end is what convinced me. Nothing broke. Piece rate and variable hour calculation. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Bargaining council agreements as a first class feature. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period. Support answers in South African hours and understands the question.

What does not

Reporting outside the statutory pack is thin.

Payroll stopped being the worst week of the month

I have run payroll on four different systems and this is the one I would choose again. Strong reseller support in industrial regions. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Strong reseller support in industrial regions. ETI is calculated on the sliding scale and shows its working. BCEA leave accruals are right without configuration.

What does not

The interface takes a while for a new administrator.

Strong reseller support in industrial regions. Per employee pricing is fair for a small team.

Support queues get long towards month end. No bargaining council support.

The March tax year end cost us a weekend

It was sold as suitable for wage staff. It is not. What surprised me was that the parts we were sold on never worked the way they were demonstrated. The gaps are the kind that create work rather than save it. It may suit a simpler business than ours.

What works

The payslip layout is clean.

What does not

ETI required manual correction for months. Leave accruals did not follow BCEA rules. Support could not explain their own statutory outputs.
