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. Audit trail built for organisations that get audited. 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.

What works

Statutory payroll maintained across more than forty African countries. The ACB file imports into our bank without a support call. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period.

What does not

The interface takes a while for a new administrator.

Used for less than 6 months

Our IRP5 files validated in e@syFile first time

I have run payroll on four different systems and this is the one I would choose again. 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Payroll and HR sharing one employee record. IRP5 files validated in e@syFile without a single rejection. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period.

What does not

The interface takes a while for a new administrator.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Payroll stopped being the worst week of the month

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

What works

Payroll and HR sharing one employee record. Support answers in South African hours and understands the question. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period.

What does not

Reporting outside the statutory pack is thin.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Support actually understands South African payroll

We switched after our previous provider got an ETI calculation wrong. Audit trail built for organisations that get audited. 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.

What works

Audit trail built for organisations that get audited. 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.

Bargaining council and COIDA submissions built in. ETI is calculated on the sliding scale and shows its working. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period.
