I need to pay staff that start date 21. 01. 16 to the 31. 01. 16
need to know how to calculate and what deductions to make. I am in the restaurant business.

You would take their monthly salary and work out the tax and then divide that by the number of days over the period of the month.

Can you show me the actual calculations using an amount?

If you owe them R31000 normally per month then you would take that and work out the tax using our SARS income tax calculator then take that PAYE and divide it by 31 and x by the number of days worked.
