Manage salaried staff, nurses and admin teams at your practice — with medical aid contributions and SARS compliance handled correctly.
Are practice partners the same as employees on payroll?
No — partners and practice owners drawing profit shares are generally not run through PAYE payroll in the same way as employed staff. Salaried doctors, nurses, receptionists and admin staff, however, are employees and must be on payroll with PAYE, UIF and (where applicable) SDL deducted.

Generally no — partners drawing a profit share aren't run through PAYE payroll the way salaried employees are.
