Leave finally follows the BCEA without a spreadsheet

I have run payroll on four different systems and this is the one I would choose again. The largest pool of trained operators in the country. 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

Complete SARS statutory coverage, maintained for decades. ETI is calculated on the sliding scale and shows its working. BCEA leave accruals are right without configuration.

What does not

Reporting outside the statutory pack is thin.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Payroll stopped being the worst week of the month

We switched after our previous provider got an ETI calculation wrong. Complete SARS statutory coverage, maintained for decades. 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

Runs locally, so month end is not a connectivity risk. IRP5 files validated in e@syFile without a single rejection. 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
