Cloud Payroll (PAYE & UIF) — Cape Town & SA-wide
Run payroll in the cloud on SimplePay or Sage Payroll. We do the PAYE, UIF and SARS submissions — you just approve and pay staff.
Why move payroll to the cloud?
Payroll is the one thing you can’t afford to get wrong — staff, SARS and auditors all notice.
- PAYE, UIF and SDL Returns filed on time
- No more SARS queries-“where’s the EMP201?”
- Payslips that match what staff were paid
- Everything stored in the cloud for audits and year-end
Payroll can feed straight into your bookkeeping and reports
