Payroll Management and Statutory Compliance

Payroll errors involving PAYE, UIF, Skills Development Levy or the Employment Equity Act quickly become costly disputes and SARS penalties for South African employers. This course gives payroll and HR finance staff a working command of statutory deductions, leave pay calculations and year end reconciliations, reducing compliance risk while making payroll processing more accurate and efficient month on month.

What you will be able to do

  • Calculate PAYE, UIF and Skills Development Levy deductions correctly.
  • Process leave pay, overtime and termination payments according to labour law.
  • Reconcile payroll records to SARS submissions and IRP5 certificates.
  • Apply the Basic Conditions of Employment Act to payroll calculations.
  • Identify common payroll errors that trigger SARS or labour disputes.
  • Prepare year end payroll reconciliations and employee tax certificates.
