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. 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Payroll and HR sharing one employee record. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period. Employee self service cut payslip queries almost to zero.

What does not

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

Used for more than 5 years

Leave finally follows the BCEA without a spreadsheet

We run about ninety staff on this and it has not missed a submission. Statutory payroll maintained across more than forty African countries. 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

Audit trail built for organisations that get audited. IRP5 files validated in e@syFile without a single rejection. Support answers in South African hours and understands the question.

What does not

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

Audit trail built for organisations that get audited. ETI is calculated on the sliding scale and shows its working. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period.

What does not

The interface takes a while for a new administrator.

Reporting outside the statutory pack is thin.

ETI calculated correctly, with the working shown

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. 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.

Support actually understands South African payroll

We switched after our previous provider got an ETI calculation wrong. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.
