Global Payroll & Tax

Employees paid on time. Filings never late.

Fund a single USD invoice each month; we handle the payroll run, SARS submissions, benefits, and reporting. Your controller gets clean numbers, your team gets paid.

Your monthly cycle

A predictable payroll rhythm you can set your calendar to.

01

Timesheets & inputs

You approve monthly variables - commissions, bonuses, leave, expenses. We handle the rest of the run.

02

Gross-to-net calculation

We calculate income tax withholding (PAYE), unemployment insurance (UIF), the skills development levy (SDL), private health coverage (called medical aid in SA), retirement fund contributions, and any garnishees. Every line item is documented.

03

USD invoice, ZAR payout

You fund a single USD invoice. We settle salaries in ZAR to employee accounts on payday, every month.

04

Filings & reports

EMP201, EMP501, and IRP5s to SARS. UI-19s to the unemployment fund. Monthly reports and GL exports to your finance team.

What's included

Payroll, tax, and benefits - under one roof.

Everything a SA employee needs, and everything a US finance team wants to see, delivered every month without you chasing.

Monthly SA payroll

Full gross-to-net processing, digital pay stubs, and on-time salary settlement to employee bank accounts.

Tax authority (SARS) filings

Monthly EMP201 submissions for income tax, unemployment insurance, and the skills levy, biannual EMP501 reconciliations, and annual IRP5 tax certificates.

Benefits administration

Private health coverage (medical aid), retirement fund contributions (pension or provident fund), group life, and disability cover - enrolled, deducted, and reconciled monthly.

COIDA & workers' comp

Return of Earnings submitted annually and letters of good standing kept current, so contracts never stall.

Leave & time tracking

Statutory leave, sick leave, and family responsibility leave tracked to the day, with a self-service portal for employees.

Monthly cost reports, GL journal exports, and per-employee cost breakdowns your controller can drop straight into the ledger.

Already paying South African contractors? Long-term contractors who work like employees are a misclassification claim waiting to happen: back pay, penalties, and an ugly CCMA (Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration) case. Converting them to compliant EOR employment takes about two weeks.
