Manage bargaining council compliance in AllWage — set up councils for your company, enrol your employees, and generate the monthly submissions your council requires.
Many South African employers are required to belong to a bargaining council for their industry. Each council sets its own rules for how workers are classified, what the employer and employee must contribute each month, and what has to be submitted to the council — often on a strict monthly deadline.
Compiling these submissions by hand is slow and error-prone. AllWage brings the whole process into one place: you tell the system which council your company belongs to, capture the council-specific details for your employees, and generate the exact submission your council expects — ready to file.
Every council in AllWage follows the same four steps, even though the details of each council are different:
Enable the council for your company — turn on the council and capture your company's registration details with that council. See Enabling a Council for a Company.
Enrol your employees — capture the council-specific details for each employee, such as their membership number and skill grade. See Enrolling Employees.
Run your payroll as usual — depending on the council, your council deductions and contributions are picked up from your pay run.
Generate and file the monthly submission — review the figures, produce the file or report your council requires, and mark it as submitted once you've filed it. See Council Reports & Submissions.
Because councils touch both time & attendance (shifts worked) and payroll (contributions and levies), the Councils area brings these together rather than living inside a single module.
AllWage adds councils one at a time.
Available now:

Only councils your company is enrolled in appear when configuring employees and generating submissions. If you belong to a council that isn't listed yet, please contact support — we're expanding council support over time.
An employee can belong to one council at a time, and their council details are tied to their current active period at your company. Make sure your employees are set up with an open active period before you enrol them in a council.
