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.
