EXPLANATORY NOTES ABOUT WAGE INCREASESThe new wage schedule has been circulated to RMI members.

Members are cautioned to treat attempts by third parties to

over-simplify the wage agreement with the utmost caution as very

pertinent omissions and some incorrect interpretations may be

conveyed, which could confuse members and/or cost members.

Members wanting to obtain further clarity regarding the application

and interpretation of the wage or any other industry agreements,

are encouraged to contact local RMI regional offices, where highly

skilled legal teams are deployed, offering trade- specific advice and

assistance in the application of these wage regulatory measures.

You will find the contact details of the RMI regional offices on the

back page of the booklet. Members are requested to note the

following specific aspects of wage agreements that deserve careful

attention:

What is the difference between actual and guaranteed wage increases?Actual wage increase applies to Sector 1 (Chapter III only) of the

industry i.e. component manufacturers, and implies a percentage

increase on the wage that the employee earns, irrespective

of whether that employee earns the minimum wage or not.

Guaranteed increase on the other hand, is calculated by applying

the percentage increase to the old minimum wage, converting that

calculation to a cash value, and applying those cash values to the

wage that a specific employee earns. These cash values, calculated

for each grade of employment, are the increases applicable to the

repair sector of the industry (Sector 4) and can be obtained by

looking at the guaranteed wage increase schedule for Sector 4. The

intention of guaranteed increases is not to penalise those members

who pay their employees more than the minimum wage, which will

happen if the percentages are applied across the board.

Who is legally entitled to a wage increase?Only those employees who earn wages/salaries (gross before

overtime allowance and bonuses) below the new threshold of

R172 000 per year (R135 000 for the purpose of wage increases

in Sector 1/Chapter III) are legally entitled to the increase specified

in the Wage Table found on pages 5, 6 and 7 of the booklet. Wage

increases to those employees earning above the specified threshold

are at the discretion of management.

May I offset an increase already given?A member, who has granted increases over and above the

prescribed increase during the preceding twelve months, may

offset those increases against the increase set out in the schedule

above, however no wage increases may be offset on more than one

occasion.

What are the additional holiday bonus provisions?All employees, except journeymen and apprentices, earing below the

income threshold specified above, are entitled to an annual bonus

equal to two weeks’ basic wages or a maximum of R4 496.40,

whichever amount is lesser. Journeymen and apprentices receive

3

their Additional Holiday Pay annually from MIBCO and the

member is therefore not obliged to pay it to these employees

directly (these amounts are paid monthly to MIBCO through the

returns-system.)

What are the standby and call-out allowance provisions?Any member may require a journeyman or administrative/

sales employee to ‘standby’ on any Saturday and/or Sunday,

however, such an employee shall be entitled to notice, in

writing, of not less than one week to that effect. Whenever

an employee is required to stand by, he or she shall be paid,

irrespective of whether he or she is required to work while

on ‘standby’, a ‘standby’ allowance of not less than R80.52

in respect of each day on which he or she is required to

so ‘standby’. Members may call out a journeyman or an

administrative/sales employee to work prior to his or her

normal starting time or after normal finishing time on any day

of the week. However, a call-out allowance of R86.27 shall

be paid in each case where such an employee is called out. A

call-out allowance may not be paid to an employee in respect

of the first call out whilst such employee is paid a standby

allowance for that day.

MINIMUM WAGES Minimum wages mean that an employer may not pay less than

that which is prescribed for the particular grade or category of

employee, unless the employer has obtained an exception from

MIBCO. Please note that Dealerships (Sector 6) employees

have higher minimum wages than the rest of the industry.

GUARANTEED MONETARYINCREASESGuaranteed monetary increases – the minimum monetary

value of increases to be granted to employees who are earning

above the minimum prescribed increases at the time when the

Agreement becomes effective. Guaranteed monetary increases

are not applicable in Dealerships (Sector 6) and Component

Manufacturers (Chapter III).

ACTUAL INCREASES – CHAPTER IIIComponent manufacturing establishments (Chapter III) grant

actual percentage increases to all employees who are at

the threshold of R135 000 per annum or less. The new

threshold conditions of employment for Chapter III is

R172 000 per annum.
