THE South African Post Office (Sapo) says it paid all its staff 70%
of their total salaries with the remaining 30% expected to be deposited
by October 31.
The Post Office revealed last week that it
originally planned to pay salaries in two batches: 50% on October 25 and
the balance on October 31
"Through our efforts to alleviate the
effect of the South African Post Office’s negative position on
employees, we paid 70% of each employee’s salary on Friday 23 October,
as opposed to a 50%/50% split initially indicated, to all our
employees," said Post Office spokesman Khulani Qoma. "The balance of 30%
of all individual salaries is due on the last day of October," Mr Qoma
said.
The Post Office said in a written response on October 16 to
unions that because of "current financial constraints" it was unable to
pay full salaries on October 25 2015.
The Post Office was put into administration last year following a crippling months-long strike and a poor financial performance.
Earlier this year, it was reported that it expected to report a loss of R1.3bn.
