Payroll Manager
South AfricaSandton201 to 500 employeesThe tax year end is what convinced me. Nothing broke. Every SARS submission handled without a consultant. 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
ETI calculated correctly, with the working shown. EMP201 and EMP501 submissions have been correct every period. IRP5 files validated in e@syFile without a single rejection.
What does not
There is no real HR functionality, so we run a second system.

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.
