How to Prepare Payroll and Bonuses Before the December Break.

The December break is around the corner — is your payroll ready? 🎄

Year-end payroll is about more than just paying salaries and bonuses. It’s about accuracy, compliance, and timing — especially before your team signs off for the holidays.

Here’s how to prepare like a pro 👇

1️⃣ Plan your payment schedule early
Confirm when your team finishes work — and set payroll dates that ensure everyone is paid before closing.

2️⃣ Calculate bonuses & PAYE deductions correctly
Bonuses affect PAYE — and undercalculating can cause SARS issues later. Review all figures carefully (or better yet, let TGC handle them for you).

3️⃣ Submit EMP201s & other payroll taxes early
Avoid the year-end rush by submitting PAYE and UIF before deadlines to stay compliant.

4️⃣ Reconcile everything
Check employee details, payslips, and leave balances to ensure no errors before year-end.
