SALARY
Understanding salary deductions
Gross salary is not always the same as take-home pay. Payroll can contain tax, social-insurance contributions and other deductions that depend on the employee and employer arrangement.
PAYE
PAYE is generally withheld through payroll according to the applicable income-tax rules.
UIF
UIF is an employee and employer contribution system with published contribution limits. The exact deduction on a payslip depends on the applicable rules and remuneration.
Other deductions
Retirement contributions, benefits, insurance, union fees and other authorised deductions can affect the final amount paid.
