Know your industry and follow the correct protocols! Here is important information on account charges and amendments. Please note that the Council has been inundated with amendments needed on accounts due to short time, staff removals and salary updates. Please note that ALL amendments to the accounts must reach Council before the 10th of each month. Any changes after that date will only be affected on the following month's return. Employers, when short time is implemented in your establishment, please inform the Council immediately. Without the details pertaining to the hours employees are now working, the reduced salaries being paid and the agreement entered into between employer and employee, Council cannot make any changes to the monthly contributions. This information should include: 1. A schedule showing all employees in the establishment with the following details: 1.1 Name and Surname 1.2 ID number 1.3 Work Code 1.4 Employee number 1.5 Reduced hours being worked per day, week and month 1.6 Number of days the employee now works at the reduced hours 1.7 Hourly rate being paid (to calculate the salary to be captured on our system) 2. Agreement between employer and employees that short time was agreed to between all parties. These changes should be submitted to accounts@hcsbc.co.za or amend@hcsbc.co.za. Should you need any additional information or assistance, please feel free to contact your agent or any Council office.
