Payroll Services That Keep South Africa Compliant
Payroll Services South Africa
Running payroll in-house is time-consuming, and a single missed PAYE or UIF deadline can trigger penalties from SARS. That is why growing businesses across South Africa turn to LBD Consultants for payroll services South Africa employers can rely on. Our Payroll Division processes salaries, manages statutory submissions and keeps your business compliant, so you can focus on running your company rather than chasing payslips and deadlines.
Whether you need full outsourced payroll or additional support alongside an existing team, our payroll specialists build a process around your business, not the other way round.
What WE Do
We manage the full monthly payroll cycle, from processing and payslips to statutory submissions, so your business pays staff accurately and stays compliant with SARS every month.
Why Choose Outsourced Payroll With LBD Consultants
Outsourced payroll removes the administrative burden from your team and places it in the hands of a dedicated payroll provider. Consequently, you reduce the risk of manual errors, missed deadlines and non-compliance, all of which carry real financial consequences in South Africa.
As a payroll company trusted by businesses across South Africa, LBD Consultants handles the full cycle: monthly payroll runs, payslip generation and third-party payments, including medical aid, garnishee orders and pension or provident fund contributions. In addition, we manage payroll system implementation and reconciliation, so your records stay accurate month after month.
For new employers, this also includes UIF registration with the Department of Employment and Labour before your first payroll run, so your business is correctly registered and compliant from day one rather than catching up on paperwork after staff have already been paid.
For businesses in IT, engineering, and training, where staff are sometimes paid per project or per learnership intake, this flexibility matters. As a result, our payroll management services adapt to variable pay structures without adding complexity to your internal processes.
Because our labour dispute representation South Africa practice sits inside a full advisory business, we work faster than a standalone law firm. We can pull payroll or HR records into a case file within days, not weeks. Similarly, our CCMA case handling services extend to appeals and review applications where the outcome warrants it. IT and engineering clients managing technical-staff disputes, therefore, get a case handler who understands both the law and the sector. Our arbitration and conciliation representation is built around evidence readiness, not last-minute scrambling, and our wider CCMA dispute resolution specialists support every stage from referral to outcome.
Payroll processing
Payroll Processing That Keeps You Compliant
Accurate payroll processing is about more than paying staff on time. Every payslip must reflect the correct statutory deductions, and every submission to SARS must be filed correctly and on schedule. Therefore, our team treats compliance as a non-negotiable part of the payroll process, not an afterthought.
We manage PAYE, UIF and SDL submissions as part of your monthly payroll cycle. Furthermore, we handle EMP201 submissions and support your annual EMP501 reconciliation, so your tax position stays clean throughout the year. This level of wage processing accuracy protects your business from the penalties and interest that follow late or incorrect statutory filings.
Similarly, our salary processing service produces clear, accurate payslips your employees can trust, which reduces payroll-related queries reaching your HR or finance team.
SARS
SARS Payroll Submissions Handled For You
Meeting SARS payroll submissions deadlines is one of the most common pain points for growing businesses. Late PAYE submissions or incorrect UIF submissions can result in penalties, and correcting errors after the fact takes far more time than getting it right the first time.
LBD Consultants manages your statutory payroll filings on a rolling monthly basis, meaning nothing falls through the cracks. Moreover, our team tracks every payroll tax return deadline on your behalf, so you are never caught off guard by a submission date.
At year-end, we support your annual tax reconciliation and prepare the documentation needed for your EMP501 reconciliation. Consequently, your business enters the new tax year with a clean, defensible payroll record, whether or not you are audited by SARS.

Yes. Our Payroll Division regularly manages variable and project-based pay structures for training companies and Skills Development Providers, including facilitators paid intermittently across multiple funding sources.
What happens if a SARS submission deadline is missed before we sign up?
We can step in and assist with catching up on late PAYE, UIF or EMP201 submissions, and help manage any resulting penalties with SARS. Once onboarded, our monthly filing calendar is built specifically to prevent this from happening again.
