Good day! I would like to query stanby allowances and call-outs.

Resolved Question:

Good day!
I would like to query stanby allowances and call-outs. Is there any mention in the labour law as to whether a company is obliged to pay both or is the decision based on company policy. At my current place of employment it was recently decided to drop the 10% standby allowance and we were told that if we did not respond to a callout 'we would see what the GM is capable of doing'! Sounds like a bit of a threat! Please could you advise on how to proceed.
Thank you

Dear Client

 

Thank you for using just answer

 

Simply put if it is part of your employment agreement and the employer unilaterally changes an employee's conditions of employment with a reduction in salary then it constitutes an unfair labour practice. You will have to follow the internal grievance procedure to the letter and if one does not exist then i suggest write a letter to the CEo

 

Then if your response in not satisfactory then you can approach the CCMA>

 

I trust the answer is helpfull
