You'll see how Sky Payroll handles statutory submissions, IRP5 issuance and month-end reporting, and how it fits alongside Sky Tax, Sky Sec and Sky Time in a typical practice workflow.

The payroll engine for your practice
Sky Payroll handles every step of South African payroll — from monthly pay runs and statutory deductions to year-end IRP5 issuance and EMP501 reconciliation.
It is built to stay current with each SARS, UIF and SDL change, so your team never works against an outdated tax table or bracket.
Pay runs are designed for real practices: capture once, review in batches and submit with a full sign-off trail. Partners see practice-wide dashboards while administrators stay in a focused workflow.
Sky Payroll shares its client and employee records with Sky Tax, Sky Sec and Sky Time so demographics, directors and timesheet hours flow through without re-capture.
