A business that becomes an employer may need to register for PAYE, UIF and SDL. The registrations that apply depend on the employment and payroll position, so the first step is to confirm the facts and prepare consistent company information.
Understand the three registrations
- PAYE covers employees’ tax where the employer must deduct it
- UIF supports unemployment-insurance contributions for qualifying employees and employers
- SDL funds skills development and applies where the relevant requirements are met
Prepare the employer information
- Company registration details and income-tax number
- Public officer or registered representative information where required
- Business address and contact information
- Expected payroll, employee and remuneration details
- Banking and supporting records requested for verification
Check what applies before filing
Not every business needs every employer registration immediately. Confirm the company’s employment position, expected payroll and applicable thresholds before submitting information.
Plan for work after registration
Registration does not complete the ongoing employer obligations. Payroll records, declarations, payments and employee administration remain separate responsibilities unless they are included in a written support agreement.

Requirements and processing times depend on complete documents, system availability and the relevant authority. This general information is not an official verification of your company’s status.
