Industrial Payroll and Unions
Durban works hard. Factories, docks, warehouses. The workforce is unionised. The rules are set by Bargaining Councils. If you get the deductions wrong, the union rep is in your office.
We act as your compliance shield. We know the difference between NUMSA and AMCU rates. We ensure your agency fees are paid. We keep the peace by keeping the payslip accurate.
Shift Patterns and Overtime
The port runs 24/7. Your payroll needs to handle complex shift rotations, public holiday premiums, and night shift allowances. Manual calculation is suicide.
We automate your shift rules. We calculate the premiums instantly based on the clock-in time. We provide you with 'Exception Reports'—showing who is working too much overtime, or who is arriving late.
- Night shift allowance
- Public holiday rates
- Overtime tracking
- Attendance reporting
Sick Pay Fund Management
In many council industries, you don't pay sick leave directly; it comes from a fund. But claiming from the fund is an admin nightmare, so many employers just pay it twice.
We stop the double payment. We manage the sick fund claim process. We ensure your workers get paid when they are ill, but your business doesn't foot the bill unnecessarily.
- Sick fund claims
- Medical certificates
- Absenteeism tracking
- Cost saving
Wholesale and Retail
Durban is a trading hub. Wholesalers have high staff counts and low margins. Cash wages are still common but risky.
We help you transition to safer payment methods. We run the payroll for the shop floor efficiently. We track leave liability to prevent large payouts at year end destroying your cash flow.
- Cash to EFT
- Leave liability
- Sales commission
- Staff loans
