HR and payroll services

All businesses care for their capital, whether this happens to be cash, equipment or stock, as these are generally considered to be the most valuable assets, but what about your Human Capital?  

Employing staff can create a number of challenges for your business, which need to be fairly and consistently managed.  There are a number of key areas which you need to ensure you get right in order to recruit and retain the best possible workforce.


Here at PwC, we pride ourselves on the service we can offer our clients. We believe that we can only provide this by having the right people, in the right place at the right time. Therefore, to us, our Human Capital is worth a lot.

  • Recruitment and selection, including advertising, screening and interviewing;
  • On-boarding process, including offer making, ES procedures and induction;
  • Drafting policies and ensuring you have a comprehensive employee handbook;

  • Conflict management, including support and advice for dealing with employee related issues such as poor performance, misconduct and dismissal;

We are able to offer you a bespoke service tailored to both your needs and those of your staff.

Payroll Services

The preparation of the payroll is a mundane and repetitive task carried out every week or month, depending on the type of business. However, because of the nature of the work, in most organisations this task usually requires a disproportionate amount of effort in order to guarantee the necessary confidentiality and to ensure that the work is executed accurately and on time.

We have developed a specialised service for handling the administration of your payroll and all other related matters in order to allow you to devote management time to more productive activities.

Transferring the administration of your payroll to us may be beneficial for a variety of reasons:

  • to fill the gaps in your resources or expertise;
  • for confidentiality;
  • to release of staff for more productive work;
  • to make use of our international network;
  • to deal with executives and expatriate staff;
  • for flexibility as your needs change; and
  • to ensure continuity of service.

We have a dedicated team of specialist staff with extensive experience who realise that the confidential, accurate and timely preparation of your company's payroll is fundamental to your business.

By placing your payroll with us we will ensure that your company meets its statutory requirements and that the salaries are calculated in accordance with all regulations relating to PAYE and social insurance.

We can deal with changing taxation and employment legislation and administration procedures, leaving your staff to concentrate on more productive work for your business.
