Underpaying security guards for decades in Centurion

Centurion Copwatch security services inconjuction with Noordvaal security services Noordvaal security services is exploiting it’s employees and underpaying them. The employees get no sick leave, they get no annual leave and no night shift allowance. They get paid R56 for working on holidays and R28 for working on Sundays, this is way below what is expected. Black and white employees do not get paid the same salaries despite doing the same job. Noordvaal Security Services has formed a conjunction with Copwatch and Imperium Business Solutions to exploit their employees. If you are absent the company charges you R300 per day even if you reported that you will not be able to make it to work. If you fail patrols you get charged R100 per patrol. To justify underpaying their employees, they state on the payslip that the employee is on a leanership but yet the employee is given duties of a permanent employee with the payment of a learnership. They have been doing this for many years, there are security officers who have been working for Noordvaal Security Services for more than a decade but their payslip still says learnership. This makes it hard for these employees to qualify for certain financial aid. The employees have tried on numerous occasions to report the company to unions and PSIRA but never received any help because the company allegedly uses money to bribe unions and PSIRA inspectors. We urge anyone doing business with Noordvaal Security Services to reconsider because you can’t rely on an underpaid security officer to protect you and your assets. Your assets are not safe under the guard of Noordvaal Security Services
