Your Payslips and Your MIBCO Returns Don't Match.The Council will notice first.
Every council levy, fund contribution, and union deduction on your payroll has a rule behind it. Get one wrong and it repeats every pay run until an inspector finds it, going back years. Two hours. You align your payroll with the agreement.

Every month, your payroll takes money off every employee's pay.
PAYE. UIF. The council levy. The provident or pension fund. The sick pay fund. Union dues.
Some of it goes to SARS. Some goes to the Council. Some goes to the funds. And you assume the numbers line up.
But the deductions on your payslips and the figures on your MIBCO return are two different records. When they don't match, the Council notices before you do.
Short-paid contributions become arrears. Arrears carry interest. And an employee who finds a fund shortfall at retirement or on a sick-pay claim goes straight to the DRC.
One session. You line up every deduction with the agreement. And your payroll and your returns finally tell the same story.
The MIBCO Deductions & Payroll Alignment Masterclass
This is a live, 2-hour masterclass built for motor industry and fuel retail employers who handle HR and payroll in-house.
You sit in unsure whether your deductions are right. You leave with a payroll that matches your returns.
Deduction Audit
Check every council and fund deduction against what the agreement requires.
Payroll vs. Returns
Match what payroll deducts to what you declare and pay over each month.
System Alignment
Get a checklist to align your payroll system with the agreement.
What you handle after this session:
Every situation that trips employers up every week — broken down, applied to your workforce.
Which deductions the agreement requires
You know every council and fund deduction that applies to your MIBCO-covered employees, and which employees each one covers.
The council levy
You calculate the levy correctly, know the employer and employee share, and know when it has to be paid over.
Provident and pension fund contributions
You use the right earnings base, the right rates, and the right fund for each employee category.
The sick pay fund
You deduct and contribute correctly, so an employee's claim never exposes a gap in your payments.
Union dues and agency shop deductions
You know when you must deduct, on whose instruction, and where the money goes.
Statutory vs. council deductions
You keep PAYE, UIF, and SDL separate from council obligations, and know what each one is calculated on.
Payroll system setup
You check your earnings codes, deduction codes, and employee categories against the agreement, line by line.
Reconciling payroll to your MIBCO return
You match what payroll deducted to what you declared and paid over, every month, before you submit.
Fixing past errors
You know how to correct short-paid contributions and backdated deductions before they turn into arrears demands.
"Now I feel far more confident and capable."
MIBCO compliance felt complex. Training with Elleck helped us simplify calculations and clean up our payroll logic immediately.

Common Hesitations
"The Council hasn't flagged anything. My deductions must be fine."
No letter yet doesn't mean no shortfall. It means no one has reconciled your records yet. When an inspector or a fund does, they don't look at last month. They go back years, and every short-paid contribution comes back with interest. One session costs R999. One arrears demand costs multiples of that.
"I can find this information online."
You can find the words. What you can't find online is how they apply to your payroll. Which deductions apply to which employees, what counts as earnings for each fund, and where payroll setups consistently go wrong. That's 20 years of applied MIBCO experience in two hours. The document is free. The interpretation is what you're paying for.
"Our payroll software handles the deductions."
It deducts what it was set up to deduct. If the setup is wrong — wrong earnings base, wrong employee category, a fund left off — it gets it wrong automatically, every pay run. After this session, you know whether your system matches the agreement. If it doesn't, you fix it before the Council finds it.
Here's What You Get
