Payroll Services in Arcadia
Arcadia employers sit inside the East London economy but run their own payroll cycle — different headcount, different pay dates and different council obligations. Around here that usually means automotive & components, manufacturing, retail & wholesale employers. You keep one fixed monthly figure and one contact person for the whole Arcadia payroll.

Monthly or weekly payslips, emailed or delivered through the employee portal
EMP201 filed with SARS every month and EMP501 reconciled twice a year
UIF declarations, SDL calculations and COIDA return of earnings support

What does payroll cost for a Arcadia employer?+
Most Arcadia businesses pay between R70 and R145 per payslip per month, with no setup fee. The fee is fixed monthly and includes SARS submissions and statutory filing.
Do we need to meet in Arcadia?+
No. Patuza is fully cloud-based. Documents are exchanged securely, payslips are delivered electronically and approvals happen online — the same turnaround whether you are in Arcadia or elsewhere in Eastern Cape.
Can you take over an existing payroll system?+
Yes. We migrate Arcadia employers off Sage, SimplePay, PaySpace, Pastel or spreadsheets mid-year, with a parallel run so the figures agree before go-live. Take-on usually takes two to four weeks.

Yes. As a Registered Tax Practitioner we file EMP201 monthly, EMP501 reconciliations twice a year and IRP5/IT3(a) certificates at year-end for every Arcadia client, and we handle SARS queries directly.
