Use this table with the written offer
Record the occupation group as schedule row 11 of Legal Notice 108 of 2026, effective 1 May 2026. Keep the duty station and pay period beside that reference. Under the heading of this schedule, monthly figures exclude housing allowance, and daily and hourly figures include it.
If the duties or area classification are unclear, ask the employer to identify the applicable category and seek clarification from a labour officer. The linked checker displays the statutory entries; the net salary tool estimates deductions for a separate regular-monthly-pay scenario.
