THE FACTS
KHAYALETHU Nyameka from Cape Town was dismissed after nine years’ service. He said the company is refusing to offer severance pay.
WHAT I DID
I contacted Khayalethu to explain his rights to him.
SOLUTION
Severance pay is paid only to retrenched people.
If you’re dismissed you get a month’s salary, leave pay, UIF and provident fund if there were deductions.
