Payroll refers to the tasks an employer must execute to ensure employees are paid accurately and on time. An independent contractor is not an employee; therefore, he's not paid through the payroll.
Independent Contractors Included in Payroll Employers are generally required to withhold PAYE and contribute SDL for all employees earning remuneration. The income of these independent contractors is, therefore, subject to PAYE (and SDL, if applicable) but not UIF and will be reported on their IRP5s under code 3616.
For most types of projects you hire an independent contractor (IC) to do, the law does not require you to put anything in writing. You can meet with the IC, agree on the terms of your arrangement, and have an oral contract or agreement that is legally binding. Just because you can doesn't mean you should, however.
