With openHR at your side, compliance season becomes simpler: our platform keeps you on track with upcoming statutory returns so you can focus on your business, not the paperwork.

Key deadlines to note:


View openHR's complete Year-End Video Guide (⏱️4 mins) which includes final EMP201 reports, UIF submissions, IRP5 file download, Return of Earnings report generation, and annual report backups.

Alongside these deadlines, we’ve rolled out some minor updates to give you more control and streamline profile management:

  • Leave default overrides in employee profiles now have ultimate priority
  • Pay rates can be deleted directly from the employee’s profile
  • Employee photos can be deleted by hovering over the photo
  • Company logos can be deleted from the company manage profile screen in the same way as employee photos
  • Improvements in Subscription management including backup payment methods

These changes are designed to simplify and improve flexibility in managing your workforce data. For more updates, please follow us on Facebook, X, and YouTube.
