Payroll support for small teams
If you run a micro business, payroll should not eat up your week. Affo helps with the day to day work behind paying staff, keeping records current and making sure routine payroll tasks are handled properly. We work with small teams in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Gqeberha, as well as businesses in Bryanston, Sandton, Randburg and Midrand.
Our service is suited to businesses with a handful of employees, casual workers or a mixed pay structure. You get a steady process, clear communication and records that are easier to keep up with when month end gets busy or when load-shedding interrupts the office routine.
What our payroll services cover
Choose the support you need now, then add more as your team grows. Some clients only need monthly payroll processing, while others need weekly wage runs, new starter setup and leave tracking as well. We keep the scope practical, so you are not paying for admin you will never use.

- Weekly wage payroll
- Payslip processing
- Leave tracking
- Timesheet capture
- New employee setup

How to choose the right payroll setup
The right payroll setup depends on how often you pay staff, how many people are on the payroll, and how much admin you want to keep in-house. A business with two office staff and one part-time helper will need something different from a team of ten wage earners spread across sites. We look at the real working pattern and set up a process that fits it.
If your records are already tidy, monthly payroll can be straightforward. If there are missing payslips, old deductions or unused employee records, payroll cleanup may be the better place to start. That gives you a cleaner base before the regular cycle begins and helps avoid issues later when SARS or labour questions come up.
Compliance-ready payroll admin
Payroll is not only about sending money. It also means keeping accurate records, handling deductions correctly and staying consistent with leave and termination figures. For many micro businesses, that admin gets missed when the owner is also doing sales, ordering and staff management. We help reduce that pressure by keeping the payroll process orderly and traceable.
- Clear payroll records for every pay run
- Support with deductions and standard adjustments
- Leave and timesheet information kept in one place
- Holiday payroll cover when staff still need to be paid
- Termination pay calculated with the working record in mind
That kind of structure matters whether you trade from a workshop in Pretoria, a retail space in Cape Town or a service business operating from home in Bryanston.
Why micro businesses use Affo
Affo was founded in 2012 and is led by Thabiso Mokoena with a team that includes bookkeeping, payroll, compliance and cloud systems support. That means the work is handled by people who know small business admin and understand the need for plain answers, not long explanations that slow everything down.
Clients reach us through the enquiry form on our contact page, and we take the time to understand what you need before anything starts. If you are running payroll for a small staff complement and want reliable support without extra fuss, this is a practical place to begin.

Coastal humidity, changing working hours and municipal admin can all affect how a small business runs day to day. A consistent payroll process helps keep one part of the business steady, month after month.
