Payroll

When you use our Employer of Record service, payroll is included and handled completely.

You receive one invoice in your own currency while we manage all calculations, compliance, and submissions in South Africa.

You shouldn't need to understand South African tax codes, employment law, or SARS filing deadlines to employ someone in the country. When we employ staff on your behalf, we take responsibility for processing accurate payroll, meeting statutory obligations, and maintaining compliance.

Overview

How payroll works through our EOR service

You approve salaries and payments. We handle the rest. Each month, we calculate earnings, deductions, and statutory contributions for your South African employees and contractors. You receive a single consolidated invoice in your own currency. No local bank accounts, no payroll software, no finance staff required.

We manage all South African payroll compliance as the legal employer. This includes PAYE, UIF, SDL calculations, SARS submissions, and audit documentation. If SARS has questions, we respond. If regulations change, we adapt. You carry no compliance exposure.

Accuracy and timing

Salaries are paid on time. Statutory submissions are filed before deadlines. Payslips are issued to staff. We process leave, bonuses, commissions, and termination payouts according to South African law. Late payments and penalties do not occur.

Your payroll is managed by a dedicated Payroll Officer and Finance Administrator, not an automated system. They verify calculations, handle exceptions, and respond to queries from your team. You have direct contact with the people responsible for your payroll.

"We hired our first South African developer through Legends EOR, and the process was straightforward from day one. The cost savings have been impressive, while the quality of our hires has been the same as what we would get here in the UK.”
- Sarah Mitchell
"After a poor experience with a different EOR platform, we migrated our South African team to Legends EOR. The transition was controlled and professional. Our team didn't miss a single payroll cycle, and we finally have local support that understands what we need. Should have made the switch sooner.”
- James Chen
"We started with two contractors and transitioned them into full employees within six months. Legends EOR guided us through the entire process and made sure we stayed compliant. They advised when the contractor relationships needed to change, which protected us from misclassification risk we didn't even know existed.”
- Tom Harrington
