Good to know

Common questions

How many employees can you handle?
Anywhere from one to several hundred. Most of our payroll clients run between five and fifty employees, but we have the systems and capacity to handle larger payrolls comfortably.
Do you handle the EMP501 reconciliation at year-end?
Yes — start to finish. We reconcile the bi-annual periods, generate IRP5/IT3(a) certificates for every employee, and submit through SARS easyFile.
Can employees access their payslips electronically?
Yes. We can email password-protected payslips directly to employees each month, or print and deliver hardcopies if you prefer.
What happens if SARS or UIF queries one of our submissions?
We deal with it directly. If a query lands, we respond on your behalf, gather any supporting documentation needed, and resolve it without you having to be involved.
Can you take over an existing payroll mid-year?
Yes, and we do this regularly. We import your year-to-date data into Pastel Payroll, reconcile against prior submissions, and run the next cycle as if we'd been there from March.
