any ideas guys?
hi, i have read it,thanks. I can see that we are supposed to receive a minimum wage even though we are working for comission.However no employee at the restaurant has signed anything. We also get charged R15 for breakages per single shift. Could you…
Hi Johnathan
The document that you need to read is the Sectoral Determination for the Hospitality sector. I've attached a copy that I have. You can also find the document on the www.labour.gov site for the updated pay scales.
Whereas the Basic Cond…
Hi,
I am happy to have found this place. I would like to share my story with you and I hope you could answer me these couple of questions as i can see you are clued up on the laws etc.
I am currently working as a Waiter for a Restaurant in Cape To…
Hi Warren
Your comments are true. But like most situations there are some folk that take advantage. The hospitality industry is unique in that its very prone to employee misuse. Almost everything that is used in this industry is exploitable and easi…
I have had extensive experience in the hospitality industry from waitering to bar work and whilst I feel there is a great potential for making money it is worth every cent and perhaps more. Its laughable when one mentions labor law or fair practice…
In response to Andre if you are normally required to work on a Sunday it is not double time but x 1.5.
Hi Bosole
Legislation should provide a level playing field. I don’t believe that it should determine the relationship between employee and employer. In this industry a NON player decides what the wage increase will be (inflation PLUS 2%), when overt…
In terms of the Bsaic Conditions of Employment Act, employees have right to be paid overtime i.e 15 from Monday to Saturday and double time on Sunday and public holidays.
As an Industry is working even on weekends , an employer may vary hours of wo…
Hi Andre - I have been in the hospitality industry for many years. To the best of my knowledge as the industry is a 24/7 one,Sat and Sun are considered normal working days. Therefore if the working week for the employee falls over a Sat and Sun, and…
Hi Brian,
Yeah i agree. I feel better now.
Good comment by everyone who responded.
To All - I have been in the Hospitality Industry for nearly 14years now, from waiter, bartender, manager and duty manager in various countries and sectors - restaurants, pubs, clubs, hotels etc.
I am now (for the first time in my career) enjoying w…
Hi Brain
I have no problem with the concept of overtime.
I think that the total hours worked per week should be the criteria rather than the day of the week. E.g. any time more than 45 hours is paid at 1.5 until 50 hours and thereafter 2x normal pay…
Shaun - legislation states 1.5 for weekdays and Saturdays and 2x on Sundays and P/holidays. Irrespective the industry or size.
Hi Andre
The legislation requires 1.5 x on Sundays and double time on Public Holidays. Saturdays are not involved. Time off in lieu can be given by agreement between both parties (employer and employee) but if the employee chooses to be paid the emp…
HI Andre,
Are those the rates advised by your labour consultant? Size matters. I am no expert but, as I understand it, Saturday is a normal day, Sunday rate is determined by size of business with concession to small operators, and Public Holidays.
A…
