Setup & pay runs · Payroll PRO

From staff pay setup to a locked pay run

Set up your pay items (earnings and deductions) once, then give each staff member their own pay setup: salaried or hourly, banking, tax number, date of birth, medical scheme membership and retirement. Add the recurring earnings and deductions that repeat every period, and when it's time to pay, run a monthly, weekly or fortnightly pay run from draft to approved to locked. EarlyTrack works out the PAYE, UIF and SDL for every person, and you review the whole run before anything is final.

Payslips, EMP201 and IRP5, done for you

Lock a pay run and payslips are generated for every staff member, with PDFs they can keep. Each month's PAYE, UIF and SDL roll up into your EMP201 totals automatically, once-off adjustments and bonuses are captured and approved separately, and at year-end EarlyTrack prepares the IRP5 and IT3(a) tax certificates from the very same figures. A compliance view and SARS deadline reminders keep you on time. You submit through SARS eFiling, EarlyTrack does the preparation.

Payroll you can trust, with the figures always right

EarlyTrack applies the official SARS tax tables and works out PAYE, UIF and SDL the same way every time, so you can pay your staff and answer SARS with confidence.

SARS tax tables, applied for you

The official income-tax brackets, rebates, medical scheme tax credit, UIF ceiling and SDL levy for the current tax year are built in and applied automatically. PAYE is worked out on a frequency-aware, year-to-date cumulative basis, with a yearly versioned update.

Review before you lock

A pay run starts as a draft you can check person by person, then moves draft → approved → locked, with separation of duties so it's only final once it's approved. Nothing is paid or filed by accident.

EarlyTrack prepares, you submit

EarlyTrack never moves money or files returns on your behalf. It gives you payslips, the EMP201 and IRP5/IT3(a) figures and a bank-payment file. You pay salaries through your own bank and submit to SARS through eFiling.

A full payroll audit trail

Every pay run, adjustment, approval and lock is recorded, so you can answer "who did this, and when" and hand your accountant or bookkeeper a clean, complete trail at year-end.

Payroll questions, answered

No. EarlyTrack prepares your payroll, you submit it. It calculates PAYE, UIF and SDL, produces payslips and the EMP201 and IRP5/IT3(a) figures, and gives you a bank-payment file to pay salaries through your own bank. You stay in control: EarlyTrack never moves money or files returns on your behalf.
