C19 Ters Claims - Convert to Leave Days

SUGGESTED

Good day,

I need assistance with the C19 Ters UIF Claims. We submitted our claims and received the money. My question is, what options do I have when paying the money out to the Employees. How can we apply the money.

Can I convert the amount paid by the UIF into leave days and then reduce the compulsory leave days and in effect reducing the unpaid leave days. And if I can do this what is the correct rate to use? I would then Do an earnings line UIF and a Deduction Advance. Can I do I like that.  I have been trying to get telephone support but gets cut off, ideally I would really appreciate it if I could speak to a consultant to explain exactly our situation. I am unable to get through to anyone. I am using the 012 420 7000 number. Maybe there is another number I can use?

Please help I need support on the above?

    Good day

    The understanding is that the employer made the employees take annual leave in terms of BCEA.

    Based on the new TERS Directive, the TERS amount can be set-off against leave, if the employer refunds the same ratio as leave days.

     

    Basically the following had to happen on the payslip screen as an example.

     

     

     

    Declared on TERS Claim

     

    TERS pays R6000

     

     

     

    Monthly Remuneration

    Remuneration paid during shutdown

     

     

     

     

     

    Payroll before TERS

    Correction

    Corrected payroll

    Leave days refunded:

     

    R     10 000.00

     R       10 000.00

     

     

    Employees remuneration rate per day is 500.

    R6000/500 = 12

    12 Annual leave days should be refunded.

    Non-Taxable

    Leave Pay

    Taxable

     

     

    R             10 000.00

    -R         6 000.00

     R      4 000.00

    4

    TERS

    Non-Taxable

     

     

     

    R         6 000.00

     R      6 000.00

     

    The assumption is that they deducted it again as an advance since the employee already received the payment (please confirm)

     

    Send the payslips showing the TERS earning line, proof of net salaries paid to the employees, and then create an affidavit on a letter head, explaining that the TERS amount was set-off against the annual leave and that the leave days were refunded (we have nothing official in writing etc. that can confirm this) so please confirm with the department that this will be order as proof of payment to the employees. Alternatively contact the DoEL to confirm what you can send as proof of payment if TERS has been set-off against annual leave.
