TimesLive reports that the Public Servants Association (PSA) on Friday reached a salary agreement with the State Information Technology Agency (Sita) that will see employees getting an increase of 6% for the 2022/2023 financial year.
Employees will receive the increase in September and backpay with effect from 1 April. The PSA initially tabled a salary demand of 12% across the board and a standby allowance of R300. A dispute was declared with the CCMA after the employer's failure to respond to the demand for three months. Conciliation took place on Friday when the employer tabled an offer of 6% for all employees within the scope of the bargaining forum. The increase also covered employees earning above the maximum threshold of salary scales. “The PSA was mandated to accept the employer's offer by most members and the collective agreement was concluded on August 19,” the union indicated in a letter to its members. The CCMA dispute was withdrawn after the conclusion of the agreement. Salary increments for employees outside the bargaining forum will be determined by the Sita board.
