Most businesses assume that their payroll is accurate, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.

Getting payroll right every single month requires:
- Running numbers that leave no room for error
- Staying on top of legislative changes
- Managing tax obligations compliantly
- Handling exceptions correctly
- Ensuring that every employee is paid on time and in full

This can create significant demand on internal resources.

Payroll outsourcing puts a critical business function in the hands of specialists who have the systems and expertise to manage it properly, leaving your team free to focus on the most important work.

At Labournet, we manage payroll for businesses of all sizes, giving them the accuracy, consistency and peace of mind that comes with knowing it is in the right hands.

As detailed by Commercial Executive Samantha Walker in her latest article, the answer is more complicated than most businesses expect: https://www.labournet.com/sas-new-spam-law-the-double-compliance-burden-for-businesses/

The Department of Higher Education and Training has confirmed that 1,475 pre-2009 legacy qualifications have reached the end of their registration period, as South Africa shifts towards occupational qualifications more aligned to workplace skills and practical learning.

This is not a blanket cancellation. Of the qualifications affected, 630 have been granted learner enrolment extensions, while others are being phased out by end June 2026, deregistered, or replaced. The official list is expected in the Government Gazette on 15 June 2026, with further detail to follow on the SAQA website.

Qualifications already awarded remain valid and recognised.
