In 2008 the then SGB Body took an SGB employee earning let's say R8000 and moved this employee to a GDE post which was only paying R5000.00 with the agreement that the SGB would top up the balance of R3000.00. This lady has been under this arrangement until 2017 when it was discovered that this is additional top up payment is illegal. The matter almost went to court. A section 38 (a) was supposed to be applied for by the school which has never ever happened. Essential this payment is now a salary to this employee. We as the new current SGB are expected to rectify this without it becoming a law suit.
We requested from her attorney to approach CCMA for a outcome but the lawyer refused and said we should just go to court.
