Compliance software for South African employers
Ask anything.
Get cited law.
A compliance assistant grounded in South African labour law, OHS, POPIA — and your company's own policies. Every answer cites the section it comes from.
HR compliance software for South African SMEs
Compliance Radar is HR compliance software built for South African small and mid-sized businesses — the employers with 10 to a few hundred staff who carry every obligation a corporate does, without a compliance department to carry it.
It covers the three areas that generate the fines: labour and HR compliance under the BCEA, LRA, OHSA and POPIA; payroll-linked statutory filings — UIF, PAYE, COIDA, Employment Equity; and bargaining council returns for councils such as MIBCO, MEIBC, NBCRFLI and NBCCI, prepared from your employee records and your Sage, VIP or Pastel payroll data.
Credentials and certificates are tracked to expiry, disciplinary cases are run the way the CCMA expects, policies are drafted and signed in one place, and every question about the law is answered with the section it comes from. Start with the employer compliance guides or talk to us.
Labour law assistant — answers cited from the BCEA, LRA and CCMA awards
"Can I dismiss an employee for theft of R200?"
Ask in plain language. Get answers cited from the BCEA, LRA, sectoral determinations, CCMA awards, and your own uploaded contracts. Every response references the actual statute, section, and subsection.
Not a chatbot trained on the internet. A compliance engine grounded in South African law — updated as legislation changes.
What notice period applies under BCEA s.37 for an employee with 2 years service?
Under BCEA s.37(1)(b), an employee who has been employed for more than six months but less than one year is entitled to two weeks' notice. For employment of one year or more, s.37(1)(c) requires four weeks' notice. With 2 years of service, the applicable notice period is four weeks.
Bargaining council returns prepared from your payroll
Connect your payroll.
Get the returns back as a ZIP.
Connect Sage directly, or drop an export from VIP, Pastel or another payroll — PDF, Excel, even a phone photo — and Compliance Radar pulls your employees in, works out the month, and prepares your council returns. Flip through the finished forms, approve, download the pack.
Each month: data in, forms out, and a person approves before anything is filed. Nothing is ever guessed; missing data gets flagged, not filled with fiction.
Behind it: 264 government forms and 223 bargaining council documents — UIF, CCMA, COIDA, Employment Equity, OHS — with 94 of them filling from your employee register in a click.

Asset Register

Employee credential uploads by phone — licences, medicals, COFs
QR link. Phone camera.
Done.
HR sends a QR link. The driver scans it, takes a photo of their licence, and it lands in the right credential record. No app download, no login, no training.
Works for medicals, certificates, COFs — anything that expires and needs a photo.
Credential and certificate renewal tracking with expiry reminders
Expiring isn't the problem.
Un-renewed is.
Mark a renewal in progress and photograph the receipt — the reference number is read off it automatically. Every certificate type carries an expected turnaround, and when a provider blows past it, the system chases you until someone follows up.
Closing a renewal files the new certificate and updates the register in the same motion — so the record can never drift from reality. And reminders arrive as one daily summary, not an inbox flood.
