Our IRP5 files validated in e@syFile first time

The tax year end is what convinced me. Nothing broke. Statutory payroll maintained across more than forty African countries. 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

Statutory payroll maintained across more than forty African countries. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period. ETI is calculated on the sliding scale and shows its working.

What does not

There is no real HR functionality, so we run a second system.

Used for 2 to 5 years

Three tax year ends without a single correction

We switched after our previous provider got an ETI calculation wrong. Bargaining council and COIDA submissions built in. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Bargaining council and COIDA submissions built in. Employee self service cut payslip queries almost to zero. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period.

What does not

Reporting outside the statutory pack is thin.

Used for less than 6 months

Leave finally follows the BCEA without a spreadsheet

The tax year end is what convinced me. Nothing broke. Bargaining council and COIDA submissions built in. 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

Statutory payroll maintained across more than forty African countries. IRP5 files validated in e@syFile without a single rejection. BCEA leave accruals are right without configuration.

What does not

There is no real HR functionality, so we run a second system.

EMP501 reconciliation took forty minutes

I have run payroll on four different systems and this is the one I would choose again. Payroll and HR sharing one employee record. 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

Audit trail built for organisations that get audited. Support answers in South African hours and understands the question. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period.

Reporting outside the statutory pack is thin.

Support actually understands South African payroll

The tax year end is what convinced me. Nothing broke. Payroll and HR sharing one employee record. 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. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

Statutory payroll maintained across more than forty African countries. The ACB file imports into our bank without a support call. Support answers in South African hours and understands the question.

We run about ninety staff on this and it has not missed a submission. Payroll and HR sharing one employee record. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.
