Payslips by email

Every employee gets a clear PDF payslip by email when the pay run is done.

Statutory returns

EMP201, UIF and EMP501 (SARS), ZIMRA PAYE, NSSA and ZIMDEF, ZRA PAYE with SDL, NAPSA and NHIMA, and Namibia’s SSC, all prepared from posted pay runs.

Gulf payroll

WPS salary files for the UAE, GOSI for Saudi Arabia, social insurance in Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait, and end-of-service gratuity worked out and provided for every month.

Leave tracking

Record annual, sick and other leave so balances are always up to date.

Pay everyone at once

Download one bulk payment file for the whole pay run and upload it to your bank.

Employee records

Tax numbers, bank details and pay information, encrypted and only visible to people with payroll access.

Payroll is personal, so access is too

Salaries are the most sensitive numbers in any business. Only people you give the Payroll permission can see employees, pay runs or payslips. Everyone else, including your sales team, never sees them.

From pay run to return

Each posted pay run records PAYE and contributions per employee. At month end, the statutory return screen shows the totals to pay and a schedule per employee, in the layout your revenue authority expects.

Does Zivobooks submit returns to the tax authority for me?

Zivobooks prepares the figures and schedules for your returns. You submit them through the authority’s own e-filing channel, such as SARS eFiling, ZIMRA’s portal or the GOSI portal, and salaries in the UAE are paid through your bank with the WPS file Zivobooks creates.

Can my accountant run payroll for me?

Yes. Give your accountant access with the Payroll permission and they can run it from their own practice login.
