Payroll you never
have to second-guess.
VerityPay runs PAYE, UIF, SDL and BCEA leave on the live SARS tables, then writes the bank file and the EMP201 for you. Every payslip reconciles. Every run is audit-ready.

Four modules, one engine. Here is what month-end looks like when payroll simply runs.

The payroll run
Gross-to-net for the whole organisation in a single pass. Earnings, deductions, employer contributions and net pay, held against an immutable snapshot the moment a run completes.
The tax engine
PAYE on the SARS annualised method, UIF capped at R177.12, SDL above the R500 000 threshold, ETI bands and medical credits. The same figures flow straight into your monthly EMP201.
Leave that runs itself
Annual leave accrues monthly, sick leave runs on three-year cycles, family responsibility resets each year. On termination, the outstanding balance is paid out and coded 3606 on the IRP5 automatically.
The employee portal
Every employee gets a mobile self-service portal. Branded PDF payslips land the moment a run completes, plus leave applications and employment letters on demand, with HR out of the loop.
One number, five moves.

Everything month-end needs, on one ledger.
Seven modules, one source of truth. Each line below is part of the same engine, not a bolt-on.
Earnings, deductions, employer contributions and net pay for every employee, computed in a single pass and held against an immutable snapshot.
- Two-person approval on every run
- Completed runs never change
- Corrections become new runs
The annualised method you saw above, plus UIF caps, SDL thresholds, ETI bands, medical credits and lump-sum directives. Updated every tax year.
- Annualised PAYE with age rebates
- Three gross definitions tracked separately
- Termination directives built in
Annual leave accrues monthly, sick leave runs on three-year cycles, family responsibility resets each year. Termination payouts land on the IRP5 with the right code.
- 15 working days annual, accrued monthly
- 30-day sick cycle tracking
- Payouts coded 3606 automatically
Approved runs export straight to your bank as formatted EFT batches. Account numbers stay encrypted until the moment the file is written.
- Standard SA EFT formats
- Account numbers AES-256 encrypted
- One file per run, fully reconciled
Monthly EMP201 figures come straight off the run ledger. At filing season, IRP5 and IT3(a) certificates generate from the same immutable history.
- EMP201 export per period
- IRP5 / IT3(a) generation
- Audit trail back to every cent
Every employee gets a mobile self-service portal: branded PDF payslips the moment a run completes, leave applications, employment letters on demand.
- PDF payslips on completion
- Leave requests and balances
- Employment letters on demand
Accountants and bureaus switch between client organisations with hard data isolation between every one. Each org keeps its own approvals, history and filings.
- Hard per-client isolation
- Cross-client run calendar
- Per-org approval chains
Compliance is arithmetic.
Every constant in the engine comes straight from the SARS and BCEA tables. When the tables change, the engine changes with them, and historic runs keep the rules they were filed under.

Built like an audit trail.
Payroll software holds salaries, identity numbers and bank accounts. These three controls are structural: they cannot be switched off, by us or by you.
CTRL-01
Two-person approval
The person who calculates a run can never be the person who approves it. The engine enforces the separation, not a policy document.
CTRL-02
Immutable history
A completed run is sealed. Corrections are new runs with their own approvals, so the trail SARS sees is the trail that happened.
CTRL-03
Encrypted identity
ID numbers and bank accounts are AES-256 encrypted at field level before they reach the database. Tenant isolation is enforced on every query.

SA PAYROLL TEAMS ON VERITYPAY
“VerityPay calculates our PAYE correctly every single month. I never second-guess the numbers before submitting our EMP201. It just works.”
Asked,

Anything else, ask a human: talk to us.
With the SARS annualised method: monthly gross is multiplied by 12, the bracket is found, base plus marginal rate is applied, age rebates are subtracted, and the result is divided back to a monthly amount. You can watch it happen at the top of this page. Brackets and rebates update every tax year.
Yes. UIF is 1% employee and 1% employer, capped at R177.12 per month against a ceiling salary of R17 712. SDL is employer-only at 1% for payrolls above R500 000 a year. Bonuses and overtime are excluded from UIF but included for SDL, and the engine tracks those gross definitions separately so neither is ever wrong.
VerityPay tracks annual leave (15 working days a year, accrued monthly), sick leave (30 days per three-year cycle) and family responsibility leave (3 days a year, no carry-over), all per BCEA. On termination, outstanding annual leave is paid out automatically and coded 3606 on the IRP5.
Completed runs are immutable, which protects your audit trail. To fix an error you create a correction run. Both the original and the correction are retained in full for SARS audit purposes.
Yes. Every employee gets a secure self-service portal with branded PDF payslips available the moment a run completes, plus leave applications and employment letters, with no action needed from HR.
