Our IRP5 files validated in e@syFile first time

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. 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

The interface takes a while for a new administrator.

Used for more than 5 years

Three tax year ends without a single correction

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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Audit trail built for organisations that get audited. BCEA leave accruals are right without configuration. 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.

Leave finally follows the BCEA without a spreadsheet

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. 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

Statutory payroll maintained across more than forty African countries. BCEA leave accruals are right without configuration. The ACB file imports into our bank without a support call.

What does not

The interface takes a while for a new administrator.

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. 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

Payroll and HR sharing one employee record. ETI is calculated on the sliding scale and shows its working. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period.

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. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

We switched after our previous provider got an ETI calculation wrong. 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.
