I work at a restaurant in Stellenbosch going on 15 months now. We get paid bi-weekly, minimum wage (R30/hr), and keep 65% of our tips; 10% to the hostess (who already gets paid R90/hr), 10% to the barman, 10% is for breakages, and 5% to the kitchen. We get direct deposits into our bank accounts, and no detailed payslips. There have been some inconsistencies in the past with my pay, the most recent example when I noticed my paycheck was much lower than expected, upon asking the accountant I was told an error was made because they missed a decimal point (R68 instead of R686) for the total hourly pay. Recently I noticed that all of my past deposits end with no cents, all ",00". No way that 65% of all my tips every time perfectly comes out to a round number, and while the difference won't land me on Top Billing, it doesn't sit right with me. Especially since we don't get detailed payslips. Is this normal? Or should I speak up?
