Leave pay

Posted 4 July 2013

I work as an sales rep. I don't know how to call this. At my previous employer I got a (leave pay bonus) if I took leave. They explained it to me at the time that because I work for commission that I was entitled to the (bonus) as if I made a sale in that month so they paid me this (leave pay)

My new company does not know what I'm talking about and my previous employer has closed down.

Do you maybe know what I'm talking about?

Medical Credit

Posted 4 July 2013

Hi Tim. Love the website!
So, what in essence is happening is: Unless your Over 65, Disabled, Very Sick and your Out of Pocket expenses are ridiculously high and your salary very low and you contribute to 50 dependents your not going to get your refund?
Does SARS realise that this is the one time per year that regular salary earners can look forward to getting something back and now they have very cunningly taken that away from them and put that money back into their own pockets?!
