As I am not getting a response now for almost a month and have since been blocked on all communications from the General Manager, I am hoping a resolution can come from this review. I worked for Midlands Saddle & Trout for the 2024 financial year and my employment came to an end in October of 2023. Each months PAYE was deducted from my salary and NOT submitted to SARS on the 7th of each month as lawfully required. SARS has now put me under investigation for lack of relevant documentation due to my latest return being at a zero submission, should I now go and submit the information based on my bank statements I will be liable to pay SARS despite the monies already being deducted from my salary by First Group. I am of the opinion that I am not the only ex-employee to be having such issues and it begs the question, where are these funds? Legally no company can hold these funds to draw interest, the EMP201 needs to be submitted monthly with payment by the 7th of each month, yet 1 year and 1 month since the beginning of 2024 tax year, not a single submission has been done. Upon leaving my employment there was an egregious error on my payout and the tax deduction thereon, after a back-and-forth battle between myself and the Deputy and Regional Manager, things were straightened out and correct payment were made. Since then, 2024 financial year end has rolled around and yet again another error has been made, this time I receive no feedback what so ever. Only once we advised the General Manager that we would be taking this further did he say he would send the documents on Monday the 8th of April before blocking that channel of communication, despite numerous follow ups on email for feedback for almost a month. In my opinion the fact that there is no communication and channels have been blocked shows me this is an admission of incompetence on their end, which is odd due to First Group claiming to be such a big corporate company.
