Phola employers sit inside the eMalahleni economy but run their own payroll cycle — different headcount, different pay dates and different council obligations. Around here that usually means coal mining, mining contractors, power generation services employers. You keep one fixed monthly figure and one contact person for the whole Phola payroll.

Bargaining council and provident fund returns where they apply
