Trade unions are already talking about tabling inflation-busting wage increases at the council despite the government’s plan to cut the wage bill by R160-billion over the next three years, as it is the largest component of government expenditure – at R639-billion for the 2020/21 financial year. In June 2019, the increase was 2.3 percent. The government and organised labour have been in a spat at the Labour Court in Johannesburg over wage increases for public sector workers under a three-year wage agreement that ends in 2020. It says it wants to deal with corruption, but it is not dealing with it. For the month, the index rose 0.6 percent prior to seasonal adjustment. The 1.75% increase is lower than CPI (2.2%) and represents the first split decision since 1997, with the newest panel member, Professor Mark Wooden, dissenting in favor of a wage freeze rather than the increase that was announced today. It is important for business operators to remember that the National Wage Case sets the Minimum Wage, but that the rates that must be provided to those working in the downstream petroleum industry will be changed by the FWC making formal amendments to the Awards, and that these changes are not always a simple increase by the standard percentage, especially for casuals in the retail sector. It says it wants to deal with corruption, but it is not dealing with it. The increases in pay expected for 2020-21 would effectively amount to a real wage cut because the consumer price index is forecast to rise by 1.75 per cent over the same period. Public sector workers are preparing to further squeeze state coffers by proposing wage increases of more than 5% during the government’s 2021/22 financial year, as a new round of compensation talks looms. Today the FWC handed down the decision (https://www.fwc.gov.au/awards-agreements/minimum-wages-conditions/annual-wage-reviews/annual-wage-review-2019-20 and https://www.fwc.gov.au/documents/wage-reviews/2019-20/decisions/2020fwcfb3500.pdf) that the minimum wage will be increased by from the first pay period on or after the 1st July 2020. For this category of workers, the PSA has set wage increases at consumer price inflation (CPI or inflation, which the trade union expects to be 3.3% in 2021) plus 2%. My calculation was that driver’s licence renewals alone cost the economy R 8,5 billion in unproductive time. The National Wage Case decision that has been handed down resulted in the minimum wage increasing 1.75%, a week to $19.84 per hour.
In handing down this Decision the Commission acknowledged the unprecedented impact of COVID-19 and the response measures and argued that this impacted “weighed in favor of moderation”. This will have an impact on the base rate in all Modern Awards, though in a first, the impact will be staggered, with not all employees getting the rise on 1st July 2020.

Each year, the FWC reviews the cost of living, economy-wide productivity indicators and the general health of the Australian economy to determine if the minimum wage rates set in the Awards are commensurate with a living wage. Those dedicated doctors, nurses, teachers and others who go the extra mile deserve above inflation increases. Under the Making Ontario Open for Business Act, this increase is tied to the Ontario Consumer Price Index (CPI) for 2020 (i.e. The National Wage Case decision that has been handed down resulted in the minimum wage increasing 1.75%, a week to $19.84 per hour.
The PSA’s 2021/22 wage demand will, among others, focus on a real wage increase and various non-monetary items. We cannot sympathise with a government that speaks with a forked tongue. It is a matter of Rands and Sense. In the fuel industry the implication of this staggered implementation will be; This Decision has a clear flow-on effect to the wage rates in all Modern Awards and thus requires all employers to review their employment instruments before the new rates come into effect.

There are many great benefits to being a Maverick Insider. BECOME AN INSIDER. The government has consistently improved the pay of public sector workers over the past decade – with public finances allocated to consumption measures instead of initiatives that grow the economy. Select which newsletters you'd like to receive, “The additional percentage on top of inflation will be up for debate with the economic section of our labour federation,” Maluleke told, “Workers are faced with the Covid-19 reality every day at the workplace. Nurses, police, teachers are under pressure and working long hours. Please note you must be a Maverick Insider to comment. It is also known as "America's best idea". Already we see the tax base being eroded by economic collapse, covid, tax and brain drain emigration.

For this category of workers, the PSA has set wage increases at consumer price inflation (CPI or inflation, which the trade union expects to be 3.3% in 2021) plus 2%.
The rationale behind the changing dates was that for those workers who have continued to work throughout the pandemic, the businesses have suffered less of an impact and can bear the increase commencing on 1/7/2020, whereas other more effected businesses, like construction should commence on 1/11/2020 and the most effected businesses, like tourism should commence on 1/2/2021. View our comments policy here. ACAPMA’s employment department produces Quick Reference Guides each year, to summarise key Award requirements, including finalised rates for: • The Road Transport and Distribution Award 2010 for fuel tanker drivers, • The Vehicle Repair Services and Retail Award 2010 for console operators, roadhouse and driveway attendants, and.
Meanwhile, higher-income workers would either get wage increases that are only linked to inflation or a wage freeze in some cases.
Wage talks between the government and trade unions representing public sector workers usually start in October every year at the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council, where terms of employment are discussed. The Determinations that will actually vary the rates in the Awards, will be released later today and will be finalized late next week.

While the National Wage Case directly changes the wage rates in the Modern Awards there is also a flow on effect to all employment instruments. The South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (Sadtu) is one of the unions, with its general secretary, Mugwena Maluleke, saying the preferred wage increase will be based on expected inflation. Why can’t public sectors workers be treated like all other workers – increases are rewards for productive contributions. Rather, the new increase will commence on three different dates and apply to different groups of workers for each of these commencement dates. Sadtu’s Maluleke said the union cannot be sympathetic to the government and its dire finances during the Covid-19 pandemic. At some juncture the government must confront the union demands, corruption recoveries, and at the same time reward those who have saved our bacon in the pandemic. However, we still waste days battling with driver’s licence renewals and any interaction with the Department of Home Affairs is a nightmare. Consumer Price Index CPI in Germany decreased to 105.80 points in September from 106 points in August of 2020.
These include remote working and the creation of childcare facilities at workplaces,” the union said. Home Affairs workers in offices where any queue is longer than 10 people should get no increase at all. %%EOF
In fact they should be fired. When can we see performance related increases? The government has reneged on its promise of giving public sector workers salary increases of between 4.3% and 5.4% – depending on their employment level and take-home pay – from 1 April 2020, because it is broke. During previous wage talks at the Public Service Coordinating Bargaining Council, Maluleke was the chief negotiator for Cosatu-affiliated unions including Sadtu, the National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union, the Democratic Nursing Organisation of SA and the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union.

Gold Coast police hunting duo who hit two Hope Island service stations at knifepoint in 20 minutes, Navigating the near-term financial challenges of disasters, Group 1 – increase applicable from 1/7/2020, No fuel industry specific Awards included in this group, Group 2 – increase applicable from 1/11/2020, Group 3 – increase applicable from 1/2/2021. “The additional percentage on top of inflation will be up for debate with the economic section of our labour federation,” Maluleke told Business Maverick.

So while we know today the new National Minimum Wage, we will have to wait for the final determinations to vary the Awards before we have the final rates that will apply for 2020/2021 financial year. Any wage increase for public sector workers – including nurses, teachers, doctors, police and correctional services officers – would undermine the government’s three-year plan to cut expenditure to reach a surplus and stabilise debt at 87.4% of gross domestic product. Consumer Price Index CPI in Germany averaged 61.80 points from 1950 until 2020, reaching an all time high of 107 points in July of 2014 and a record low of 20.50 points in July of 1950. The government cannot balance the books and further loans will encumber the tax base for years to come. We still have potholes in our streets, and in our area refuse is often not collected.
