Specialists in Bulk Entry-level payroll management
Managing entry-level payrolls in South Africa presents some unique challenges and opportunities. In an effort to boost employment for young South Africans, the government has created an entire ecosystem of incentives designed to make entry-level labour attractive and affordable to businesses. Additionally, there are also various funds available that can be accessed via informal networks, that many businesses are not aware of.
However, in order to make use of these incentives, a thorough understanding of the regulatory environment and how to work with various regulators such as SARS or the UIF is essential.
Working in the space for the last 15 years, Lulaway has the in-depth knowledge and relevant networks that ensure we can get you the benefits you deserve.
Many of the requirements that ensure actual payment of funds are not clearly communicated and are hard to obtain. Gathering the basic personal information of new interns in order to kick off a programme, as well as ensuring on-going attendance tracking and evidence measures is a significant challenge that requires an in-depth understanding of local conditions and cultural sensitivities.
From recruitment to payroll, timesheets, and securing government stipends, Lulaway provides full management of the stipend process, ensuring smooth operations for employers.
Hosting stipend-funded interns comes with administrative and financial challenges. Lulaway streamlines the process by managing applications, funds and reporting, relieving companies of complex paperwork. Navigating government stipulations like the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) can be overwhelming. Lulaway ensures compliance with all regulatory requirements, so companies don’t have to.
With Lulaway handling the administrative load, employers can focus on integrating interns into their workforce, without the distraction of managing documentation or bureaucracy.
Examples of clients we have worked with include Fidelity Security, one of the largest Entry-level employers in the country, that have seen significant financial benefits working with us. By changing their recruitment criteria and tapping into available funding opportunities, we were able to make a substantial financial impact on their bottom line.
Lulaway's stipend management project boasts a state-of-the-art reporting dashboard that provides meticulous tracking of every intern’s progress. The system includes real-time access to timesheets, payroll data, and compliance documentation. Stakeholders can generate custom Excel reports, view graphical data on placements, and track stipend payments. This transparency and attention to detail give employers, funders, and government agencies complete peace of mind.
