I understand what you say .. surely it does not mean that that particular industry should not be reformed in order to gain protection for its employees?

There is no industry body nor is there an employees group. So who would take responsibility? It would have to be SARS taking them on from a tax front and garnering support from the labour court - but to do so would result in the shutting down of nearly the entire industry IMO and a class action against hundreds of establishments. It is a daunting task and you are welcome to play David against their Goliath - but I doubt much could be done, especially considering the high staff turnover of these establishments.

There are already laws in place to protect the employees, but when you have a good enough reason to relinquish this right to recourse, you will.
 
Adel, i hope you keep us posted as to what happenes. Why did you not make a case for fals accusations or something, or refuse them to take money from you?? If you know you are innocent they had no right. I would make a huge fuss if they deduct from my salary for something i did not do. Anyways, well done on the new job, and I wish you all the best of luck :)
 
i worked at a restaurant where they basically only knew my name and cell-phone number nothing more!! if i decided to walk away with the money i made that day they would NEVER trace me,

No contract nothing

nightclubs aren't the most formal of working environments, i know guys who work bars and then just get paid for the hours they work, no contract, nada.

Oh boy, I remember my day working at a nightclub, was a dj, actually got paid in lsd. Would have liked to see the contract on that one, but those were the days before things like the CCMA.

Le sigh...those were the days, no work, no responsibility, NO HANGOVERS!!

I was discussing adel's situation. She was screwed over by having an employer illegally deducting money from her salary and she has every right to take them on. It is if course her decision, but the most advantageous position to be in, is informed. If she knew/know this, she could decide accordingly. If she chooses to do nothing, so be it. In principle, the law gives her protection.

And you're right, it would be a daunting task to take on this industry. I am no activist, but wherever I go, I make people aware of their rights. There is nothing more disgusting than one human being so blatantly exploiting another.
 
Okay, I see where you are coming from. Well good luck if Adel wants to take them on.
 
i just want that women to be stopped she made so many people’s lives miserable.
I caught her out steeling the first week i worked there, then she just stopped the training on the money side of things.
I was told to keep my nose out of it.
Well i did for a few months then I opened my mouth and i got the **** that hit the fan...
But maybe after today...
He will never know how much she has taken but i promise you that i saw thousands of rands disappearing....
And in the beginning I thought to myself did I really see it? Maybe that’s the way things are done….then I just placed the puzzle together and saw all the money she was walking away with.
Then I told got the blame threw the keys and left.
 
This is no small change that went missing when i was there!!
Sheez!!! 500 000 !! What they know of!
So what happens to people that does thing like that?
How to prove something like that, polygraphs do not hold up in court.
