The gap we fill

The established payroll tools are built for bookkeepers and fifty-person teams.

If it’s just you and a handful of staff, that’s a lot of software to learn — and a bill that climbs every time you take someone on. easyslips is the other way round: one flat price, ten-minute setup, and screens a shop owner can actually read. You do payroll on the last Friday of the month and get on with the job.

What you get

Everything a small payroll needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

01 SARS-ready payslips

Clean, professional payslips with your company details, every earning and deduction itemised. Print them or email them straight from the app.

02 PAYE & UIF, done for you

Income tax is worked out on the current SARS brackets and rebates. UIF at 1%, capped correctly. Toggle either off per employee when you need to.

03 Leave tracking

Log annual, sick, family responsibility and unpaid leave. Days taken show up on the payslip for the month automatically.

04 Extra earnings

Commission, overtime, bonuses, standby — add once-off amounts to a single payslip without touching anyone’s basic salary.

05 Payroll history & reprints

Every run is kept, grouped by the day you processed it. Reprint any individual payslip, any month, years later.

06 One login, many businesses

Look after more than one company? Switch between them from a single sign-in — handy for the bookkeeper who wants payroll kept simple.

Month-end, in three moves

Add. Check. Send.

STEP 01

Add your team

Name, ID number, bank details, basic salary. Once. Returning staff carry over every month.

STEP 02

Check the numbers

The app calculates each payslip — gross, PAYE, UIF, deductions, net. Adjust a figure by hand if you need to; the reason is noted on the slip.

STEP 03

Print & send

Generate the run, print the batch or email each person their slip, and export a net-pay list for the bank. Done.

Pricing

One flat price. It doesn’t climb when you hire.

Every plan includes SARS PAYE & UIF, leave, extra earnings, unlimited reprints, payroll history and POPIA-safe storage. Cancel in one click.

Questions owners ask

The honest answers.

Do I need an accountant to use this?

No. easyslips is built for the owner or office manager. You enter salaries and the app does the tax maths. If you already have a bookkeeper, they can use it too — or you hand them the net-pay export and payslips.

Is it actually SARS compliant?

PAYE is calculated on the published SARS tax brackets, thresholds and rebates, and UIF on the 1% employee contribution with the monthly ceiling applied. You can update the tax figures yourself each year when SARS revises them. easyslips is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by SARS.

What about UIF and EMP201 returns?

easyslips produces the payslips and the totals you need — PAYE and UIF per employee and for the run. Filing the return with SARS is still done on eFiling; the figures are right there to capture.

Can I bring my existing staff across?

Yes. Add each person once with their details and salary. There’s no long import — most small teams are set up in well under an hour.

Where does my data live?

On managed South-African-friendly cloud infrastructure, protected per employee so one business can never see another’s. Access is by Google sign-in and limited to the people you authorise. Storage is POPIA-conscious.

I’m not in South Africa — can I use it?

Not yet. easyslips is tuned specifically for South African PAYE and UIF. If that’s not your tax system, it’s the wrong tool for you today.

Month-end is coming. Get it sorted.

Set up your team, run one payroll, print the slips — and see how long it actually takes. The first month is on us.
