Payroll and HR that know South African law.
Humantix runs your payslips on the 2026/27 SARS tables, keeps leave to the BCEA, gets contracts signed on the phone and has IRP5s ready at year end, so a small business can do its own payroll without a bureau.

One working day, start to finish
07:30
Thandi asks for leave from the taxi
She opens Humantix on her phone, sees 11.5 days of annual leave left and asks for three days in December. The public holiday in the middle is not counted.
08:15
Approved before the first coffee
The owner sees the request on the dashboard and approves it. Thandi’s balance updates on her phone straight away.
10:00
A new hire signs on the day
Sipho starts today. His contract is written from the details already captured, then signed by the employer and by Sipho on his own phone.
13:00
A tricky question, answered with the Act
Can a final written warning be given for a first late-coming? Labour Law AI answers in plain words and names the sections it relies on.
16:30
Locked, paid and on every phone
The owner locks the month. Nobody can change a locked payslip, and every employee can open theirs on their phone, even without signal.
March
Tax year end without the panic
IRP5 certificates and the EMP501 come from the payslips that were locked all year. Humantix checks every certificate for missing details first.
Move a slider. Watch the tax.

From sign-up to first pay run
Start with the first step. It takes two minutes.
Saved in this browser as you tick.
Stage 1 · Before your first pay run
Set up the company
- Start free
No credit card. You land on your own dashboard.
Its name, address, PAYE and UIF reference numbers, and the day you pay.
- See benefits
The rates and schemes every payslip reads. Each lives under Pay in the menu.
Write them yourself, or let the AI draft a job description you can edit.
Stage 2 · Your first day
Bring your people in
Download the spreadsheet, fill it in and upload it. Rows with a mistake are listed, and the rest still import.
Humantix lists what each person is still missing, so nothing stops the pay run later.
- What they see
They sign in with a link sent to their email. There is no password to remember.
- See contracts
Written from the details you captured, signed by both sides and stored for good.
Stage 3 · Ongoing
Every month after that
- See a pay run
Draft every payslip in one go, check them, then lock the month.
Leave, overtime and expenses wait on the dashboard with a red dot until someone acts.
- See access
Only the areas they need, to view or to manage, and only for the companies you choose.
- See Tax Year End
The EMP201 every month, and the EMP501 twice a year, from the payslips you locked.
Questions employers ask us
Is it up to date for the 2026/27 tax year?
Yes. PAYE uses the SARS tables for the year ending 28 February 2027, with the age rebates, the medical tax credit and UIF at R177.12 a month. When SARS publishes new tables, Humantix moves to them.
Try the live payslipCan my staff use it on their phones?
Yes. Staff sign in with a link sent to their email and can add Humantix to their home screen like an app. Payslips, leave and tasks they have opened stay readable without signal.
On their phoneCan I move from my current provider in the middle of the year?
Yes. Import your payroll history from the old provider, then run both side by side with Parallel Run until the figures match. Imported history is shown, but Humantix never puts a figure it did not calculate on a tax certificate.
SwitchingDo you handle weekly and fortnightly pay?
Yes. Each employee is paid monthly, weekly or fortnightly, on a monthly salary or a daily rate. Weekly and fortnightly staff have their own pay runs.
Pay runsDoes it do IRP5s and the EMP501?
Yes, from the payslips you locked during the year. Humantix checks each certificate for missing details before you file, and also prepares the EMP201 every month.
Tax Year EndCan my bookkeeper have limited access?
Yes. Give them only payroll, for example, to view or to manage, and only for the companies you choose. Changing who holds access stays with you.
AccessWhat happens to my employees’ data?
It is stored in South Africa and handled under POPIA. Each employer sees only their own records, and every employee sees only their own.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Start free with your Google account. No credit card is needed to look around or to run your first payslips.
Start freeIs Earned Wage Access live?
It is switched on company by company. When it is on, staff can draw part of the wages they have already earned, and the full amount comes off their next payslip.
Earned Wage AccessEvery person, accounted for.
Start with your own company and your own staff. No credit card, and nothing to install.
