My UIF was calculated on gross pay for three years on a spreadsheet I inherited. The SARS penalty was 43k. I am sure Opaido would have caught it on day one - it calculates right every time and shows me how.

The eti rebate paid for the subscription easy. You guys spotted two apprentices that was qualified and can claim R1500 a month each. I would never have known.

I am not a payroll expert and I never wanted to be. Opaido explain every deduction in plain english, so I can answer my people without phoning anyone.

Verlof probleem het na die CCMA toe gegaan en ons het geen rekords gehad nie. Dit was alles op WhatsApp gereel met staff, so persoon kon als delete en het ons amper R 45,000 gekos. Nou is elke balans op die rekord. Way beter!

Retail owner
26 employees, Cape Town

Three years of incorrect PAYE from a spreadsheet I inherited. The tax man said R67000 that was owed. I built this business from nothing ad I needed a tool built for me, not for a 500 people company.

"We run three companies with their own pay cycles. When I needed help, and support was excellent, so 5 stars."
