It handles our bargaining council deductions that every cloud tool we tried simply could not. The whole team is used to it now.

Rigid standard reports.

I am the bookkeeper for a company in Paarl. ETI is calculated automatically and it has saved us real money we were leaving on the table. No plans to change.

Every payroll administrator we interview already knows it, which makes hiring easier. The interface feels dated next to the cloud tools, it is function over form. We stay because switching is more effort than the niggles.
Pros
E@syFile and EMP501 exports that reconcile; bargaining council and provident fund support.
Cons
Getting a straight price out of a partner took weeks.

We run three pay frequencies across two companies and it never gets confused. Every payroll administrator we interview already knows it, which makes hiring easier. I would pick it again, but with open eyes.
Pros
GL integration with Sage accounting; statutory tables maintained automatically.

Our business works across Gauteng from Midrand. The IRP5 export drops straight into e@syFile and our EMP501 reconciled first time in August.

Desktop roots show for remote work.

Payroll Administrator · Mofokeng Foods
17 August 2025
Typical the Western Cape business, tight margins, no time to waste. The IRP5 export drops straight into e@syFile and our EMP501 reconciled first time in August. It is desktop at heart, so remote access needs a bit of IT setup. Decent value if you keep it simple.
Pros
E@syFile and EMP501 exports that reconcile.
Cons
Steep learning curve for new staff; rigid standard reports.

Pros
Bargaining council and provident fund support; multiple companies and pay frequencies; administrators everywhere already know it.
Cons
Desktop roots show for remote work.

Nadia Botha

It handles our bargaining council deductions that every cloud tool we tried simply could not. PAYE, UIF and SDL all update the moment the budget changes, I never chase tables anymore.

Cons
Rigid standard reports.

I look after this for our team in Centurion. Pricing is quote only, which makes it hard to budget before you talk to a partner. Annual licence increases arrive without much warning. We are weighing up alternatives.
Cons
The annual price increases sting.
