Sunday World reports that SA National Parks (SANParks) and the National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers (Nupsaw) and have signed a three-year multi wage agreement which will be effective from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2027.
Employees from 19 national parks within the bargaining unit of Job Grade A1-C5 who were employed prior to 1 April 2024 will receive an across the board increase of 7% for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. Parties further agreed to 1% salary adjustment as an annual pay progression. Consequently, the qualifying bargaining unit employees will receive a 8% increase. The parties further agreed to salary adjustments for the financial years 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 based on the projected consumer price index plus 1%. Employees will also receive a 5% increase to the Night Shift Allowance, Danger Allowance and Sleep-Out Allowance. Also a Housing allowance for A & B Band and a Tools of Trade allowance. Yet, Nupsaw said the struggle would not be over at SANParks until market-related salary adjustments were achieved and implemented equally without any favour or prejudice through benchmarking for all Job Grades A1-C5.
