2022 Earnings Threshold

What does it mean if an employee earns below or above the earnings threshold?

In the latest Employment Relations video, I share the new earnings threshold for the labour legislation of South Africa, as well as what it means to earn above or below the threshold.

The earnings threshold from 01 March 2022 is R224 080.48 per annum.

To determine what is included and what is excluded: How to calculate the earnings threshold?

In the video I cover all provisions from the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, the Labour Relations Act and the Employment Equity Act that are only applicable to those who earn below the threshold. Throughout the video I share tips and recommendations for Employers & Employees.

    Information about my services

    I wish to provide affordable or free employment relations information to equip employers and employees to handle most situations on their own, but I also believe having a strong foundation of documentation in place is helpful and it is also necessary in some situations to sound board with a professional or have a professional facilitate the procedure.

    If you would like me to draft specific employment relations documentation or would like an online consultation (including chairing hearings and facilitation of other employment relations procedures) you can contact me via email: admin@employmentrelations.co.za
