Fountain Civil Engineering - employee rating
Good day, It amazes me that a company can treat their employees like they do and get away with it. Fountain Civil Engineering (FCE) for a few months now have being paying their employees late, initially starting around 3rd and 4th of the month and then as time went on salaries were being paid on the 10th and 12th and even these began to be part payments with the balance being paid around the 20th of the month. Obviously this resulted in any financial commitments (e.g. mortgage, vehicle etc) to bounce and the employees had to foot the bank charges for these declines. FCE did make sure that the hourly paid staff were paid on time or as close to as they knew they would have stay-aways etc, but monthly salaried staff had no choice. What is then worse, is that the company would deduct monies for provident fund but not pay these deductions nor the company portion to the fund administrators by the required 7th of the following month, in fact right now the June 2022 provident fund monies have still not been paid to the fund administrators as at 2 August 2022. In my opinion this is theft as it is the employees money, and also the fund will not pay out the values to members that have left the company due to salary issues as the fund is not paid up. Should this be ongoing issue, the fund administrators may have to cancel the provident fund with the company, and at minimum this is reported to governing bodies of the fund administrations which would register the participating company as a risk. The HR Manager (Roseann Christoper-roseannc@fountain.co.za) )was contacted on numerous times but just refers one to the financial director, Brett van Staden (brettvs@fountain.co.za), who refuses to take any calls relating to this matter. It also amazes me that the provident fund is managed through a broker, Ray Olivier and Associates ((031 0015562) and is not it their responsibility to ensure these payments are made to the fund administrators ? I would have thought so and I wonder if their commission is also not being paid ? Helen, Ray's assistant, also refuses to discuss the issue conveniently citing confidentiality protection and Ray just will not take the call. How do you run a business with this type of employee treatment and brokers not following through in what is ethical and in the interest of all parties, which should be part and parcel of their responsibility, as opposed to just what benefits their business financially ?
