Leave payout when resigning

So now the story with HR is that I will only get paid next month because they have to cater for deductions....erm I dont have any f&*king deductions, no travel , no cell, no claims!

That is BS. Any decent payroll package can accommodate and do the calculations even before your last day.

Is actually better doing it within your last period of employment than still having you on the system in the new month when you are no longer an employer.

I work on Pastel Payroll and if I terminate an employee on the system today and effective on 31 Dec, I cannot process another payslip for them in January if the December run has been closed off. Everything needs to be closed off within the last payroll period.

I got a sweet leave payout with my previous job this last month. They broke it into 2 payments, so the salary and the leave were taxed individually. Came out to about 1.5x a single month's salary which helped a lot with the baby. Plus my pro rated bonus was paid.

Whether they broke it up or not the tax would have been the same for the year...
 
Thansk @signates

So I called my cousin who is a lawyer and she echoed the exact same thing.I have sent a mail querying as to why I will not be paid on the 7th Jan according to the Labour law and I am still waiting for a response,but HR was very quick to give me cookie cut answers.
"We always do this"
"This is how it works"

sigh.

How they have always done things does not make it the correct or legal way that it should be done. They only reason why its continued is because no one was prepared to take them on or show them the correct and legal way to do it.

Reminds me of an ISP I dealt with a few years ago who did the same to one of their employee's who was a client of mine. I sent them a nice email explaining that they will be reported to the Labour department and CCMA. Employee received their salary a week later.
 
Interesting.. at any rate most of previous companies paid out with the following payroll date ie 25th of the month after you left.
 
The company I currently work at pays out at the termination date.
So if you leave at the end of the month, your salary will be paid on the 25th and your leave pay will be paid on the day you leave.

As stated earlier in the thread, it is actually a cleaner cut to wrap up everything in the month you leave and have you off the system.
