Construction payroll is complex — variable hours, multiple sites, weekly wages and COIDA compliance. TSS Payroll handles it all in one system.

COIDA and the Construction Industry
Construction employers must register with the Compensation Fund (COIDA) and pay annual assessments. TSS Payroll tracks total annual remuneration per employee — the data you need for COIDA submissions.
They can run under one company account even with different pay frequencies (weekly for site workers, monthly for office staff) — no need for separate systems.
No — COIDA (Compensation Fund) covers workplace injury and illness claims, while UIF covers unemployment and related benefits. They're separate registrations with separate obligations.
Tag employees or timesheets to a specific site or cost centre so payroll costs can be reported per project, not just per employee.
TSS Payroll handles hourly wages, overtime, weekly pay and SARS compliance — from one clean dashboard. Start your 30-day free trial.
