PAYROLL THAT GETS PAYE, UIF AND SDL RIGHT.

Statutory payroll deductions are one of the easiest places for a growing SME to get compliance wrong, and one of the most expensive to get wrong badly. ZANAVA turns approved timesheets into accurate, compliant pay runs, with South African statutory deductions calculated for you and payslips ready to share. No separate payroll subscription, no manual PAYE tables.

WHAT IT COVERS

A high-level look at what Payroll does inside ZANAVA.

Whether it's a restaurant paying casual and full-time staff on different bases, or a retailer running payroll for a small permanent team, the statutory requirements are the same across South Africa. ZANAVA's payroll module applies PAYE, UIF and SDL consistently, regardless of industry.

01

STATUTORY CALCULATIONS

PAYE, UIF and SDL worked out automatically so your deductions stay compliant.

02

PAYSLIPS

Generate clear payslips for every employee, every pay cycle.

03

BANK CSV EXPORT

Export a payment file ready for EFT so paying staff takes minutes.

04

LEAVE & BALANCES

Leave tracking ties into pay so balances and payouts stay accurate.

WHERE THIS USUALLY BREAKS DOWN

The problems that show up before a business puts Payroll in place.

MANUAL PAYE CALCULATIONS ARE ERROR-PRONE

Working out PAYE, UIF and SDL by hand or in a spreadsheet is easy to get wrong, and the cost of a mistake falls on the business, not just the employee.

PAYSLIPS ARE INCONSISTENT OR MISSING

Without a system generating them automatically, payslips are often skipped entirely, which is both a compliance risk and unfair to staff.

PAYING STAFF TAKES AN AFTERNOON

Manually calculating and capturing every payment into online banking, one employee at a time, doesn't scale past a handful of staff.

LEAVE PAYOUTS DON'T MATCH LEAVE BALANCES

When leave tracking and payroll are separate systems, payouts on termination or leave encashment are often calculated from stale numbers.

✱ BEST PRACTICE

HOW TO DO THIS PROPERLY

01

LET APPROVED TIMESHEETS DRIVE PAY, NOT ESTIMATES

Payroll should pull directly from approved hours worked, closing the gap between what staff worked and what they're paid.

02

AUTOMATE STATUTORY DEDUCTIONS FROM DAY ONE

PAYE, UIF and SDL rules change periodically. Automatic calculation removes the risk of working from an outdated table.

03

GENERATE A PAYSLIP EVERY CYCLE, NO EXCEPTIONS

A payslip for every employee, every pay run, is both a compliance safeguard and a basic expectation from staff.

04

EXPORT ONE PAYMENT FILE, NOT ONE PAYMENT AT A TIME

A bank-ready CSV export turns paying ten or fifty staff into a single upload instead of an afternoon of manual EFTs.

✱ WHY IT MATTERS

THE PAYOFF FOR YOUR BUSINESS

  • Run payroll without a separate, expensive system
  • Stay on the right side of SARS with automatic deductions
