How Patuza runs your payroll
A complete South African payroll and SARS compliance cycle, handled for you
Outsourced payroll is not just payslips. Every South African employer carries a fixed calendar of statutory obligations across SARS, the UIF, the Compensation Fund and — in many sectors — a bargaining council. Patuza takes ownership of the whole cycle, from capturing inputs to filing the returns, so nothing lands late.
- 1Every pay run
BCEA-compliant payslips
Gross-to-net calculated on the 2026/27 SARS tax tables, with itemised earnings, deductions, employer contributions and leave balances on every payslip.
- 2By the 7th monthly
EMP201 declaration & payment
PAYE, UIF and SDL declared and paid to SARS on eFiling, with a reconciled payroll journal and third-party payment schedule for your bookkeeper.
- 3By the 7th monthly
UIF UI-19 declarations
New engagements, terminations and salary changes declared to the UIF so employees can claim without delays.
- 4May & October
EMP501 reconciliation
Bi-annual employer reconciliation of EMP201s, payments and IRP5/IT3(a) certificates — the submission that most in-house payrolls get penalised for.
