What outsourcing takes off your plate

Spend Less Time Managing Payroll Internally.

Running a cleaning company means coordinating clients, staff, schedules and daily operational demands. Payroll adds another recurring responsibility, with employee details, calculations and reporting to manage every cycle.

With outsourced payroll, Knox takes on the agreed payroll processing and administration, giving your business a defined process for managing payroll as your workforce operates and changes.

Knox takes on

  • Payroll processing on an agreed pay cycle
  • PAYE calculations and the related payroll administration
  • Employee additions and terminations
  • Leave and payroll data processing
  • Payslips and payroll reporting
  • Payroll submissions, where included in the agreed service

Payroll administration and reporting

Know What Is Being Processed, and When.

Payroll is more than calculating what each employee should receive. It also means maintaining employee information, processing changes, producing payslips and keeping the payroll records and submissions organised.

Depending on the service agreed with your company, Knox manages payroll processing, PAYE and UIF calculations, monthly EMP201 submissions, EMP501 processing twice a year and payroll reporting.

Payment assistance, optional extra

Once Knox has processed the payroll, you pay one bulk amount into Knox’s Netcash account and every employee payment is released on the same day at the same time, whichever bank your staff use. Many clients prefer it. The arrangement that applies to your company is agreed with you.

Employee payments

Payroll Processing and Payment Assistance.

Knox can also assist with paying your employees. Payment assistance is an optional extra to the payroll service and is set up separately where you want it.
