Payroll is one of TRA's main audit areas: auditors compare your payroll costs with the PAYE you remitted, and test allowances and benefits. We run payroll accurately every month, handle PAYE and SDL by the 7th, NSSF and WCF contributions, payslips and half-year certificates, and keep you compliant with labour law requirements.
