Payroll that matches the site, not the template

Site payrolls are untidy: overtime, shift allowances, people joining mid-cycle. We capture from your time sheets, produce payslips laid out the way your employees understand them, and pay over UIF on time.

Who uses this service

Small and medium businesses, Contractors with fluctuating site headcount.

Candidates are sourced, interviewed and reference-checked against your site requirements.
On site, on our payroll

An allocated consultant handles queries, discipline and disputes, on site or remotely.

Questions we get asked

Do you handle PAYE submissions?

Tell us your current setup. We quote payroll administration around what you need, and work alongside your accountant for SARS submissions where they already handle them.

What does labour hire cost per worker?

It depends on the trade, the hours, the shift pattern and how long the placement runs. We quote a rate per person per hour or per month that already includes our payroll, UIF and COID costs, so there are no extras later. Tell us the role and we will send a written quote.

Who is the employer — you or us?

Shades of Blue is the employer of record. The worker is on our payroll and our COID cover; you direct the work on site. This is how a temporary employment service works under the Labour Relations Act.
