Payroll
What is payroll outsourcing?
We take care of all your monthly payroll requirements.
Like most jobs that you do not want to do, or cannot do, there are specialists who will take the issue of payrolls off your hands. We can do everything from calculating pay and deductions, to transferring money into your employees’ accounts and filing associated taxes.
We provide a cost effective, professional, and efficient payroll/administrative service to businesses lacking a payroll infrastructure.

We might just do part of the job, depending on what you need and your budget.
Why outsource payroll?
Running payroll can be complicated and time-consuming. Plus, there are many legal requirements, which means there are serious risks involved with getting things wrong. For this reason, many business owners prefer to leave it to the experts. It gives them more time and extra peace of mind.
In addition, we are often able to do your payroll at a relatively low cost as we use software to automate many of the tasks involved.
We make use of one of the best payroll solutions to ensure peace of mind. We ensure that employees are paid on time and accurately, in accordance with labour and SARS legislation.
