HR: Salaries & Benefits at Shofar
Can’t find what you are looking for in this post? Please visit forum and let’s chat!
Are employees guaranteed to receive a bonus every year?
Unfortunately Shofar cannot guarantee bonuses as our income is dependent on donations that fluctuate from year to year. Shofar does guarantee, that we would like to bless our employees with a bonus and are mindful of this while budgeting throughout the year.
Is there a structure regarding raises in salaries?
Unfortunately there is not a set structure regarding raises, however, after the financial year end in February we try our best to afford raises inline with inflation.
Should you have reason to believe you deserve a larger increase, please do speak to your manager/pastor at any time. We cannot always guarantee approval on this, but we will definitely consider your request, and we will look at your circumstances and reasons for the request in order to assist with the final decision.
What benefits are employees given who are Shofar staff?
- Medical Aid contribution of R600 per month towards the medical aid of your choice
Please note that in order to qualify for these benefits, employees are required to send their medical aid certificate to hr@shofaronline.org.

Many of the Shofar staff make use of Michael Thiart for assistance in finding a suitable medical aid scheme.

Do employees receive any kind of remuneration for preserved leave days?
Yes and No. Not as part of continued employment, according to the labour law Annual Leave is the only leave type that may be paid out, and only when employment is terminated and there remains a balance on the leave days
Does Shofar, as my employer, pay tax on my behalf?
Yes, we deduct PAYE (Pay As You Earn) Tax at the end of each month. You will receive a salary amount after this has been deducted.
What else does my employer pay from my net salary on my behalf?
We only deduct tax from your salary, unless we have made specific arrangements with you, which normally would be a payment for a staff loan that has been granted to you. The law is very strict in terms of these requirements.
