Payroll compliance in North West
Every employer in North West — like everywhere in South Africa — must deduct PAYE from employees earning above the tax threshold, contribute 1% UIF (matched by the employee), and pay 1% SDL if the annual payroll exceeds R500,000. Payroll Africa automates all three and generates the monthly EMP201 return.
At the end of the tax year we produce the EMP501 reconciliation and IRP5 / IT3(a) certificates ready to import into SARS e@syFile. Tax tables update automatically when SARS publishes new brackets, so your North West payroll stays compliant without any manual work.
Employees receive branded PDF payslips, can request leave through self-service, and submit change requests (banking details, address, dependants) that route to your payroll manager for approval — cutting admin for HR teams across North West.
