Everything a small payroll team needs
Compliance, calculation and communication — without spreadsheets.
SARS tax engine
PAYE on the annualised method, UIF with the monthly ceiling and SDL — all driven by editable tax tables, not hard-coded rates.
Professional payslips
Every payslip is a locked snapshot of earnings, deductions and employer contributions, ready to download or email.
Immutable history
Once a run is approved or paid it can never be edited. Reversals create a new audited run instead.
Leave management
BCEA-aligned leave types, balances and an approval workflow your managers will actually use.
Employee self-service
Staff view their own payslips, leave balances and details — without emailing the payroll office.
Multi-tenant security
Every record is scoped to your company with row-level security and role-based access control.
Simple monthly pricing
One price for your company size, in rands, no hidden fees. Every plan includes the full SARS tax engine, payslips and payroll history.
