KELLY GROUP LAUNCHES MICRO-PAYROLL FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

Johannesburg, 16 April 2008 - Paxsal Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), a member of the Kelly Group, has introduced a micro-payroll product tailored to small businesses with up to 50 employees.

Paxsal’s new micro-payroll solution, called PayZone, offers small businesses an efficient, cost-effective and legally-compliant payroll administration tool equivalent to a fully functional and flexible in-house payroll system.

“The system is secure, web-based and is much more affordable than conventional payroll platforms,” says Kelly Group marketing director Tracey Czakan.

She says that its use is not only limited to small businesses. It can also be used economically in households to pay domestic staff. Czakan says it is a legal requirement to have your domestic registered for UIF and to provide him or her with a payslip. “PayZone will pay the domestic’s UIF on the employer’s behalf, calculate the domestic’s monthly salary and pay it into his or her bank account,” she says.

“We are very excited about the prospect of this product because it is the first fully automated offering in the market with complete payroll functionality. Over time, we will look at expanding this product by forming strategic partnerships with external companies and offering users the opportunity to purchase other value added products for their employees such as insurances, retirement savings, endowments, air time and medical aid,” she says.

The Kelly Group is South Africa’s leading comprehensive employment services and outsource solutions provider. Its activities include permanent recruitment, temporary staffing, consulting services, BPO and contact centre solutions.
