The way that SANParks, hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs raise their prizes. Every year about 10%.

Are Sanparks' employees civil servants

[harrys]

Where Bookworm works they don't get over time, maybe they will get time of as far as I know most game farms and reserves don't pay overtime that's in their contract that the employees sign

They used to be. Now they are employees in an over populated organisation whose major expense is salaries and not conservation

[leachy]

Civil servants get increase every year, always way above inflation.

nonsense .......

All permanent employees also receive monthly housing subsidies, medical aid contributions and pension fund contributions from the state, as well as a full month's untaxed salary in one's birthday month as a bonus.

[Lisbeth]

The following is only my personal perception: I have the impression that the wages for a long time have been far too low. If we do not know the actual amount of the wages it is difficult to judge if the raises are fair or not. There is also the point of housing and meals.

[Richprins]

As Peter and Harry say, in the private sector increases and benefits are not guaranteed and generally lower, and bonuses may or may not be paid.

[Lisbeth]

Maybe their salaries are higher

[Richprins]

Obviously sometimes, and sometimes not. But raises will generally not be more than inflation, if at all.
