Fernridge employers sit inside the George economy but run their own payroll cycle — different headcount, different pay dates and different council obligations. Around here that usually means tourism & hospitality, construction & property, forestry & timber employers. Pricing is per payslip with no setup fee, so a growing Fernridge team never pays for capacity it isn't using.
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
Leave, overtime, commission and allowance tracking per employee
IRP5 / IT3(a) certificates at tax year-end
Bargaining council and provident fund returns where they apply
