Every Small Business Should Consider using Payroll Software.
Payday is usually the best day of the month. The day when all those early mornings and coffee binges finally pay off. The sheer excitement of hearing that tone on your phone when your bank sends you a notification that there has been a deposit into your account. Now imagine the opposite wave of emotions you feel when the amount you received is not what it should have been.
As an employer, the task of paying employees accurately and on time is a sign of respect. It shows that you value them and the work they do, which in turn motivates them to keep doing what they do AND do it well. A happy workforce is a productive one!
So, we’re not saying that you are short-changing your employees on purpose, but the hassle of doing a payroll manually can often be time consuming, intricate and downright frustrating. Payroll software will free you up to focus on other areas of your business while ensuring you the peace of mind that your payroll is covered.

Every employer should consider the following benefits of using Payroll Software:
- Avoid critical mistakes by using a recognised Payroll software Payroll errors can become costly, especially when dealing with SARS and Bargaining Councils. Payroll software will be updated regularly to stay on top of the rules and regulations, ensuring that you, as an employer, stays compliant and up-to date.
- Avoid the long hours it takes to prepare payroll There are probably a lot of things you could do with the 1-5 hours a month that it takes to prepare a payroll. Having the additional free time to focus on other areas of the business, especially at month end, could be the difference between hitting that major sales target or, well, not hitting it.
- Having a stress free, streamlined payroll from month to month Systems and procedures always help to keep your business in check. It ensures employees know where they stand and so do you. Payroll software helps to ensure that one area of your business is taken care of. Imagine having more time to be in your business, thinking about your products or services, strategizing with marketing and interacting with customers. You are just a few steps away from having this!
