What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply payroll and HR administration expertise, work in a compliance-focused team, and deliver accurate, timely payroll services.

I am an experienced payroll and HR professional with a Bachelor of Commerce and Honours in Industrial Psychology, focused on accurate payroll processing and thorough HR administration. I bring years of hands-on experience using SAGE VIP Premier, SAGE X3, SAGE 300, Psiber and related payroll systems.

My roles have included end-to-end payroll functions for organisations of varying sizes, including processing earnings and deductions, garnishee orders, provident and medical aid administration, UIF/UI19 forms and EMP201/EMP501 submissions. I have consistently produced month-end reports, reconciliations and ensured timely EFT and third‑party payments.

I am organised, detail-oriented and proficient with HR administration tasks such as recruitment paperwork, terminations, leave management, personnel record keeping and scanning, and assisting with HR policy updates. I have supported HR teams with reporting, workplace skills plans and employee on-boarding.

I work well with people, am confident under responsibility, and bring leadership qualities and solid computer skills (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook). I seek to contribute reliable payroll and HR expertise to teams that value accuracy, compliance and efficient HR operations.
