It is important as the two monthly payments are different and the paye needs to be clarified

A staff member earned R9500/m for three months then was given an increase which brought the salary to R11000/m. He/she hasn't been at the company for a full year and was given a bonus of R5000. How do I calculate the PAYE on this as there was only R500 deducted off the December salary?

What was the R500 deducted for?

I went back and checked yesterday and found that there wasn't R500 deducted at all. He/she was paid the full R11000.00 and R5000.00 bonus. It looks to me that there were months where no PAYE was ever deducted and other months there was. Will have to do a complete recon of what went on as this is now going to cause a massive problem when it comes to sending in the EMP reconciliation. And he/she is going to have to be short paid when it is sorted out!!! Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.
