We understand that managing payroll can be a complex and time-consuming task for businesses of all sizes. With our comprehensive payroll management services, we offer expertise and support to ensure accurate and efficient processing of your employee-related finances.

The Employer's Responsibility

As an employer, it is crucial to fulfill your responsibilities when it comes to payroll management. Regardless of the number of employees you have, you must maintain accurate records of payroll taxes and other deductions such as PAYE, Training Levies, Social Security, and unemployment fund deductions. These records should be kept for at least four years after the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever is later.

About Payroll Management

Payroll management involves the setup and processing of all earnings and deductions related to your employees. It requires a reliable system to record and track payroll information, ensuring that employees are paid accurately and on time. Additionally, it involves meeting various tax and regulatory requirements related to payroll, including monthly tax deduction reports (EMP201), interim and year-end employer reconciliations (EMP501), and workmen's compensation returns and occupational injuries and claims (ROE & COID Returns).
