Filings and dates

Employ prepares the files for a return. A person submits them to the tax authority and records that they did.

What is prepared

• Monthly: the PAYE, CSG and NSF file and the PRGF file for a finalised run, in the supported cases. They are checked for format locally. That is not the same as the authority accepting an upload.
• Annual: the Return of Employees for the income year (July to June).

Due dates

The monthly date is the end of the following month. For May and November returns it is two working days before the end of June or December, counting neither Saturdays nor public holidays from Employ's holiday list. The annual date follows the authority's published date where it is known. The filing calendar in your workspace shows each date and the rule behind it.

Reminders

Owners, admins and people with the payroll role get an email seven days before a return is due and again once it is overdue, until the submission is recorded. Months before you started using Employ are not chased.

Recording a submission

After you submit, record it in Employ with the reference you were given. The record keeps who recorded it and when. A recorded return stops further reminders for that period.

Accountants and bureaus

An accountant invited by the company owner with the payroll role sees the filings due for every company they work for in one list, and opens each company to act on it. Each company's data stays with that company's own members.

What Employ does not do

• It does not submit returns on your behalf or hold your tax-authority password.
• It does not pay wages or hold funds.
