Questions
Is a payslip compulsory in South Africa?
Yes. Section 33 of the BCEA requires employers to give a written statement with each payment, showing pay, hours, deductions and the net amount.
How is UIF calculated?
1% of the employee's remuneration is deducted and the employer adds another 1%, up to the UIF earnings ceiling. It applies once someone works more than 24 hours a month. Check uif.gov.za for the current ceiling.
What is the overtime rate?
At least 1.5 times the normal wage under the BCEA, unless agreed time off is given instead. Overtime is limited to 10 hours a week.
What is the minimum wage in 2026?
R30.23 per hour from 1 March 2026, including for domestic and farm workers.
Does this work out PAYE?
No. Enter PAYE from SARS's tax tables or your payroll system. Many low earners pay no PAYE.
