We work with George-based SMEs, professional firms and franchises across George CBD, Heather Park, Denneoord and surrounds.
Per-payslip pricing with no setup fees. Switch mid-year without breaking IRP5s at year-end.
Garden Route payroll follows the season. Hotels, lodges, restaurants and tourism operators from George through Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Mossel Bay scale up over December and Easter, using casual, fixed-term and part-time staff with split shifts, live-in arrangements, service charges and public holiday pay. We keep the BCEA calculations and records correct through every peak.
The permanent base — construction, timber, retail, aviation services and a large professional and retirement-services sector around Heatherlands, Denneoord and Blanco — runs monthly. Patuza handles both on one payroll for a fixed fee per payslip, with EMP201, UIF, BCCEI where relevant, and IRP5s at year-end.

Payroll touches the owner, the finance team and HR differently. Here is what each of them gets from Patuza.
Everything a growing South African employer needs — SARS registrations, compliant payslips and monthly submissions — for a predictable per-payslip fee.
A payroll you can reconcile, defend in audit and forecast from — with EMP201s, EMP501s and the general-ledger interface handled to deadline.
Balanced payroll journals, cost-centre reporting and third-party schedules delivered before your month-end close — every cycle.
Accurate payslips, defensible leave balances and clean terminations — so HR spends its time on people, not pay queries.
Extra capacity and a second pair of expert hands — parallel runs, leave liability, council rates and EMP501 reconciliation handled with you, not around you.
Hand the payroll over with confidence — Patuza takes the processing and the deadlines, and you keep control and visibility.
Shift-accurate healthcare payroll — night, weekend and public-holiday premiums, locums and agency staff processed without manual spreadsheets.
Clocking-to-payslip flow that works on site — overtime, shift and contractor hours captured, costed and reported per site before they blow the budget.

Most George employers pay between R70 and R135 per payslip per month, with no setup fee. The price is fixed monthly and covers processing, payslips, EMP201 filing, UIF declarations and year-end IRP5s.
Hotels, lodges and restaurants, construction and property firms, forestry and timber operations, retailers, medical and professional practices and farms. We build the earnings, deduction and allowance structures those employers actually use, rather than a generic template.
Construction employers fall under BCCEI, while hospitality and forestry staff are paid under their sectoral determinations — including seasonal peaks over December. Contributions are calculated per member each pay cycle and the council returns are filed on your behalf.
No. Patuza runs entirely in the cloud, so we serve George, Mossel Bay, Knysna, Wilderness, Oudtshoorn and Plettenberg Bay and the surrounding district with the same turnaround. Documents are exchanged securely and no site visit is required.
Yes. We take over from Sage, SimplePay, PaySpace, Pastel or a spreadsheet mid-year without breaking the IRP5 reconciliation. Take-on usually runs two to four weeks, including a parallel run so the figures agree before we go live.
Usually the owner, financial manager or HR lead. We give each of them what they need — a reconciled payroll journal for finance, clean leave and engagement records for HR, and a single monthly figure for the owner.
Peak-season casual and fixed-term staff are engaged for a set period, paid at or above the sector minimum with Sunday and public-holiday premiums, and declared for UIF from the first pay.
Yes. Building-industry council members are graded per the council schedule, with council, holiday-fund and provident contributions paid over monthly.
