Hello, welcome to ActivityLog
Our goal is to assist your school in managing its Section 38A obligations as per the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996.
Continue...Schools Act - Section 38A
The South African Schools Act 84 of 1996 allows for Teachers to receive remuneration, financial benefit or benefit in kind for additional work performed for example work outside an Educators’ job description. Another example would be for travel and expenses relating to official school activities such as attending a sporting or cultural event where the school participates in. However, there are a number of caveats in the Act which ActivityLog helps you navigate. The Act can be summarised as follows...
- It places a prohibition on the payment of unauthorised remuneration, or giving of a financial benefit or benefit in kind to state employees
- It makes provision for an application to the employer for the approval of remuneration, or giving of a financial benefit or benefit in kind to state employees
- It makes provision for a right to appeal to the MEC of education if an application had been unsuccessful or if the employer failed to respond to the application within 3 months after submission
- It makes provision for the payment of travel and subsistence expenses to state employees with reference to certain tariffs and during certain circumstances
- It requires that the payment of authorised remuneration of benefits be reflected in the school’s budget as presented at the general parents’ meeting
- It provides for corrective action that can be taken against school governing bodies if remuneration or benefits has been paid to an employee without prior approval of the employer.
