Understanding Payroll Management for Remote Teams in South Africa

Introduction


Payroll management for remote teams can be challenging, especially when dealing with different regulations and tax laws. At HireJustNow Employer of Record , we specialise in handling payroll for remote teams in South Africa. Here’s what you need to know about payroll management for your South African remote employees and how HireJustNow can simplify the process.


1. Compliance with Local Tax Laws

South Africa has specific tax regulations that must be adhered to when managing payroll, including PAYE (Pay As You Earn) tax, UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund), and SDL (Skills Development Levy). HireJustNow Employer of Record ensures full compliance with these laws, managing all tax-related aspects of payroll to avoid any legal penalties and ensuring your company remains in good standing with South African tax authorities.

We ensure your employees are paid accurately and on time, enhancing their job satisfaction and your company's reputation as a reliable employer.


3. Managing Benefits and Deductions

In addition to salaries, payroll management includes:

Deductions: Calculations and deductions relating to payroll taxes are managed by HireJustNow and shown on payslips to keep compliant as required by local law. Any other deductions on employee salaries can also be taken into account on payslips as / when instructed by employers.

Benefits: HireJustNow Employer of Record will take care the benefit calculations such as medical aid and retirement annuities. In addition to this tax benefits and credits will be applied monthly to an employee's payslip upon instruction from client / employer.


4. Handling Currency Exchange
