What payroll in South Africa has to handle
An employer in South Africa has to calculate and report the statutory items below every pay run, and keep the ledger in step with them.
How PayrollFlow 365 handles South Africa
South Africa is one of the markets with published statutory content in PayrollFlow 365, updated with legislation.
Rates, bands and calendars are dated parameters with an owner and an audit trail, so a legislative change is a configuration change and not a development project.
Where it sits in Dynamics 365
PayrollFlow 365 runs on Business Central and Finance & Operations, so payroll and the ledger are one system. Where a payroll product is already in place and staying, we integrate it and post each pay run to the ledger instead.
What we need from you
Your pay rules and allowances, employee and bank data, the statutory returns you file today, and the person who owns payroll policy. A discovery workshop turns these into a written plan.
How an engagement runs
It starts with a 45-minute consultation, then a discovery and fit-gap workshop on your own processes. You receive a written fit-gap and a phased plan before a programme is agreed. Four phases follow, each with something you can use and review.
Discover
Process workshops, data audit, and a fit-gap against the standard product.
Design
Solution blueprint, integration map, and the extensions we will actually need.
Deploy
Configuration, migration rehearsal, role-based training, UAT and phased cutover.
Support
Hypercare, managed services, client portal, scheduled optimisation reviews.
What drives the cost: users, legal entities and currencies, integrations, data migration and the gaps found against standard. See how pricing works or run the three-minute readiness score.
