Hi gidalene,
I normally work from my cashbook and post all net pay outs to the various employees' salary gl. Then I process the emp201 for the month as a supplier invoice and allocate the 1% UIF to employee salary gl, 1% UIF to company contribution, 1% sdl to company contribution and paye to employee salary gl account.

If you are using Pastel Payroll, the monthly analysis is the easiest source.
Debit Salaries "Total Income" as it appears on the analysis (Expense account)
Debit Company Contributions "Company contributions" as it appears on the analysis (Expense account) Use sub-accounts for each type.
Credit Payroll Liabilities:SARS with the total PAYE, SDL, UIF Company and UIF Deduction
Credit Payroll Liabilities:Third Parties with deducted amounts if applicable, such as Pension, RA, Medical, and so on. You should probably have sub-accounts for each.
Finally, credit Payroll Liabilities: Net Pay with the Net pay.

When you pay the employees, you debit Net Pay.
When you pay SARS or third parties, debit the appropriate liability account.
