Payroll handles paying your team the South African way — PAYE, UIF, SDL and ETI, all calculated for you.
Employees
Payroll → Employees. Add each employee: names, ID number, tax number, date of birth, start date, salary, medical-aid members, retirement contributions, and their banking details for salary payments. You can also track each employee's leave balance here — it accrues automatically as you finalise pay runs (BCEA 1.25 days a month), and you can record leave taken.
Pay runs
Payroll → Pay runs.
1. Generate draft payslips for a month for all active employees. 2. Review each — 360books computes PAYE (on the SARS tables, with rebates and medical credits), UIF, SDL, and the Employment Tax Incentive (ETI) for qualifying young, lower-wage staff. Edit any payslip to pro-rate, add a bonus, allowance or deduction. 3. Finalise — this posts the payroll journal (salaries, PAYE, UIF, SDL, net pay) and accrues leave.
EMP201, IRP5 & EMP501
- The pay run shows your EMP201 totals (PAYE + UIF + SDL, less ETI) to declare monthly.
- The EMP501 reconciliation card totals PAYE/UIF/SDL across the tax year.
- ⬇ IRP5/EMP501 CSV exports a per-employee file with SARS source codes (income 3601, PAYE 4102, UIF, SDL, ETI, retirement, medical) — ready to capture into e@syFile.
- Individual IRP5 certificates are generated per employee as ID-protected, signed-link PDFs.
Paying your team
Finalised payslips can be exported as a bank payment file (a beneficiary batch), so you pay everyone from your online banking in one go. Payslips are delivered to employees via a secure signed link — salaries never travel by plain email.
