… that was the first thing I told Kate after her little ‘I don’t trust your peers’ rant.
And considering everything she’d told me, it was only natural for her to respond with a cheeky “obviously, payroll is the worst”.
So, I dug in for the next five minutes and gave her an expert’s birds-eye-view of payroll for business owners…
You see, there’s a lot that goes into payroll — no matter how many employees you have in your books.
Here’s a “did you know” for you: Payroll was originally the term for the list, or roll, of people employed by an organisation…
… however, these days it’s more commonly used to describe the total amount of money an organisation pays its employees, as well as the process of paying them.
It’s the “elemental way in which an organisation honors its agreement with employees”.
Basically, this means that if there’s anything in the payroll process that kicks your ass (like a specific process, ‘basic’ terms, or tricky phrases and definitions, etcetera etcetera),
Then, as a business owner, you’re likely going to make a mess of things until you know enough to do your payroll properly.
And, on top of that, you also can’t ignore the million other things you need to do during the payroll period…
In other words, your stress will be stressed out every time you need to do payroll…
Take a look at this 👇…
🎯 Monthly Payslips
🎯 Leave Management
🎯 Expense claims
🎯 Employee Info Updates
🎯 Monthly EMP201 submissions
🎯 Bi-annual EMP501 submissions
🎯 COIDA Return of earnings
🎯 UIF Returns
🎯 Payroll payment batches
🎯 Department of labour compliance
… Kate went absolutely bonkers when I showed her that list,
Because, in all her confidence, she had no idea what COIDA Return of earnings was,
And was completely clueless about the fact that EMP501s have to be submitted twice a year… (no wonder she got that R10k fine, lol).
Then I told her “Kate, The Beancounter takes care of all that and more…
… “for 11-50 employees, all you’d be paying is R2050 per month.
“You could save yourself over 20 hours of accounting work,
“Make sure that you stay compliant with labor and tax laws,
“And save yourself the grey hairs I’ve watched you grow in the last few minutes”
She didn’t fight me this time and actually seemed to really be considering my offer.
Though, being the person that she is, I still needed to do a little more convincing.
So I figured, ‘let me show her why Beancounter is trusted by hundreds of businesses in South Africa’
