SAGE PASTEL PAYROLL - AUGUST FEATURE FOCUS – ENPF SCHEDULE GENERATION (PART 4):

FEATURE FOCUS:

Payroll Transaction Codes

Correct payroll transaction code setup is essential for accurate ENPF reporting.

WHAT WE ARE SEEING:

One of the most common findings during Payroll Health Checks is that incorrect or incomplete payroll transaction code setups prevent organisations from generating accurate ENPF schedules.

This often results in manual adjustments, incorrect schedules and unnecessary delays.

WHY IT MATTERS:

✓ Accurate statutory
schedules
✓ Reduced manual
corrections
✓ Faster payroll
processing
✓ Improved compliance

DID YOU KNOW?:

Sage Pastel Payroll uses payroll transaction codes to determine how earnings and deductions are reflected in statutory reports and schedules.

Reviewing these codes periodically helps ensure your ENPF schedules remain accurate.

────────────────

CAPCONSULT Payroll Insight:

Many payroll challenges are not caused by the payroll software itself but by payroll configuration that has never been reviewed since implementation.

A periodic Payroll Health Check can help ensure your payroll system continues to support your compliance obligations and operational requirements.

SAGE PASTEL PAYROLL AUGUST FEATURE FOCUS – ENPF SCHEDULE GENERATION (PART 2)

FEATURE FOCUS:

Electronic ENPF Schedule Submission

Generating your ENPF schedule is only part of the process.

Sage Pastel Payroll produces the information required for electronic submission through the ENPF Portal.

WHAT WE ARE SEEING:

During Payroll Health Checks and Compliance Reviews, we found that many organizations generate the ENPF schedule from Sage Pastel Payroll but then email the schedule instead of uploading it through the ENPF Portal.

WHY IT MATTERS:

✓ Faster submissions

✓ Improved processing
efficiency

✓ Better submission tracking

✓ Reduced administration

DID YOU KNOW?:

Uploading your ENPF schedule through the Portal provides a more efficient submission process while improving record keeping and traceability.

───────────────────

CAPCONSULT Payroll Insight:

These observations are based on Payroll Health Checks and Compliance Reviews conducted by Capital Management Consultants across organisations using Sage Pastel Payroll.

If your organisation is still relying on manual or email-based statutory submission processes, it may be time to review how your payroll system can help improve efficiency, accuracy and compliance.

CAPCONSULT PAYROLL COMPLIANCE ALERT

Technology Is Changing Payroll Compliance. Is Your Organisation Keeping Up?

Preparing statutory schedules manually takes time, increases the risk of errors and can delay compliance.

As the August deadline approaches for July ENPF and PAYE submissions, now is a good time to review whether your payroll processes are helping you work efficiently and remain compliant.

Did You Know?

Sage Pastel Payroll includes functionality designed to support the preparation of:

✓ ENPF Contribution Schedules

✓ PAYE Tax Schedules

Helping improve accuracy, consistency and timely statutory compliance.

────────────────────

CAPCONSULT Payroll Insight

From our recent Payroll Health Checks and Compliance Reviews, one of the most common findings is that organisations are not fully utilising the payroll functionality already available to support statutory reporting and compliance.

Often, a few configuration improvements and better use of existing features can reduce manual effort while improving reporting accuracy and compliance.

SAGE PASTEL PAYROLL JULY FEATURE FOCUS – LEAVE MANAGEMENT (PART 4)

FEATURE FOCUS:

Employee Self Service (ESS) Leave Applications

Leave management does not have to be manually done or be limited to payroll processing.

WHAT WE ARE SEEING:

Many organizations are capturing leave correctly in payroll but continue to manage leave applications using paper forms, emails, spreadsheets or WhatsApp messages. This creates unnecessary administration and duplicate processing.

WHY IT MATTERS:

✓ Online Leave Applications
✓ Faster Approval Processes
✓ Reduced Paperwork
✓ Improved Employee Experience
✓ Better Management Visibility
✓ Improved Payroll Accuracy

DID YOU KNOW?

Sage Employee Self Service (ESS) allows employees and managers to submit and approve leave requests online, with approved leave automatically available for payroll processing.

SAGE PASTEL PAYROLL JULY FEATURE FOCUS – LEAVE MANAGEMENT (PART 3)

FEATURE FOCUS:

Leave Payouts on Termination

Accurate leave records are essential when calculating leave payouts for terminating employees.

WHAT WE ARE SEEING:

During Payroll Reviews, we often find that leave payouts on termination are calculated manually because leave balances are not being maintained consistently within the payroll system.
This can result in delays, disputes and calculation errors.

WHY IT MATTERS:

✓ Accurate termination payments
✓ Improved compliance
✓ Reduced payroll queries
✓ Better employee records

FOR:

✓ Improved leave accuracy
✓ Better employee record keeping
✓ Reduced manual administration
✓ Improved audit trail

📢YOU HAVE PAID YOUR EMPLOYEES. WHAT NEXT?

Your payroll process does not end with paying employees and printing payslips.

Do not let the manual preparation of statutory compliance schedules delay your submissions.

Manual processes take time, are prone to errors and can increase the risk of late submissions, penalties and unnecessary expenses.

During recent Payroll Health Checks and Compliance Reviews, we found that many organizations were not fully utilizing the payroll features available to assist with statutory compliance reporting and submissions.
