Annual SARA intern training proves its worth again

The annual SARA intern training was held last month on employees' tax, benefits and payroll computations. There was just under 60 attendees and, as with prior years, intense exercises on various payroll scenarios were performed. Excellent feedback was received from attendees. We are also planning a similar session in Cape Town in September and Jerry Botha has agreed to conduct this as well. There appears a real need amongst persons entering the remuneration and benefit field, as well as among some long established professionals, to come to grips with the basics of tax computations, UIF, SDL, package structuring and employee take-home scenarios and benefit planning. As the feedback has again confirmed, this is a critical component in the day-to-day activities of remuneration specialists.

Best regards,
Jerry Botha
