What next?

Step 1: Read this (quicker than reposting the details).
Step 2: Fax off the request for a letter of good standing.
Step 3: Phone them.

I've stuck to that routine ever since I found it works, and at worst the most it's taken is 3 phone calls - with an average of two calls.

2 Weeks from 1st phone call to 3rd and I have mine. Sadly, only valid for 6 weeks (sigh).

Next question - what is the maximum earnings for our W.As 8 returns for the year forwards? Last form on DoL's site is for 2011. Seems like this is to be a repeat of last year (another sigh).

The limit for the 01/03/2012 to 28/02/2013 is R292,032

Thanks Clive, but what I really need is the figure for the provision for next year (1.3.13 - 28.2.14). Anybody have a clue?

**CLIVE-TRIANGLE** · 08-Mar-13, 04:48 AM

Ok, it is R312,480

7% increase.

Sometimes I get the feeling that the only thing that's increasing slower than the inflation rate is small company profits

Just a quickie - where did you find this info? Or was it one of your phone calls to the DoL's offices? I only ask as I tried to find the info for hours but came up empty.

Thanks both Clive-Triangle and Dave A for the feedback

I got it from my payroll system. I guess the developers have an inside track?

**sandyb** · 11-Mar-13, 08:09 PM

Thanks Clive. Which payroll would that be? Maybe I should think of changing my system....

Hi,

I have posted that we are starting a WCA awareness campaign on behalf of people and companies experiencing issues such as this, please if you think we can assist with taking your matter to the Government, let us know.
