I hope this email finds you well. I am following up on the ongoing issues regarding my workplace situation as outlined in my previous correspondence, as well as a recent discrepancy in my November payroll. To recap the key points I’ve mentioned before: Breast Pump at Work: I was informed informally about the placement of my breast pump on the table and about storing breast milk in the office fridge. No formal warning was issued, and after the conversation, I stopped putting the breast pump on the table but continued to face complaints about the milk in the fridge. Phone Use: I used my phone during quieter periods when there was minimal work. Once the workload increased, I stopped using my phone. Although the director spoke to me informally about this, no formal warnings or hearings were given. Leave for a Sick Child: I took three days off to care for my son and submitted a doctor's note. When I returned to work, the director criticized my decision to stay home and implied that I was neglecting my job, even though my contract entitles me to sick leave. Questions Regarding Pay: I asked my coworkers about the HR manager’s availability to clarify my pay, which the director later deemed disruptive. However, I felt it was necessary to ensure that my pay was correct, especially given my fixed-term contract. Mutual Agreement: I was pressured into signing a mutual agreement after requesting a second chance to prove myself. Despite my attempts to address the situation, I felt I had no choice but to sign the agreement, as it seemed like the only option available. November Payroll Issue: I would like to add that I noticed a discrepancy in my November payroll. My agreed gross salary was R11,.00, but my paycheck reflected only R9,.16, with deductions for unpaid leave that were not in line with what we had agreed upon. During a prior discussion, I was assured that I would receive my "full salary" for November, minus only the standard deductions (UIF, PAYE, and loan). Despite raising this concern, I have not received any feedback or clarification. Given the above issues, I’m increasingly concerned about the lack of formal warnings, the mishandling of my sick leave, pay inquiries, and the mutual agreement. I also feel pressured into signing the agreement without being given a fair chance to resolve the situation. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the best course of action regarding these concerns. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.

I sold my company to a JSE listed company in . I had to do a 3 year earn out. During this period I introduced them to a friend of mine who wanted to sell his company.

I need assistance to access my UIF funds when I resigned from work in March . I made application in February . I was told it's declined because I applied after the required period which I dispute because I contributed to UIF for 8 years, therefore I cannot be told I forfeited my money because of expired period. Reason I did not apply early is because I still had money, and thought I was saving and applying control by not applying to avoid misuse. Please help!
