MISA welcomes the Fair Pay Bill and commits to constructive engagement

MISA, the Motor Industry Staff Association, welcomes the publication of the Fair Pay Bill as an important step to strengthen fairness and transparency in South Africa’s labour market.

The Bill proposes several reforms aimed at modernising salary practices and addressing wage disparities. It proposes to restrict the use of past salary history in determining remuneration, thereby reducing the risk of perpetuating inequality. Employers will be required to disclose salary ranges in job advertisements ensuring greater transparency for job seekers.

The Bill also reinforces the principle of equal pay for equal work, with remuneration to be based on merit rather than demographic or personal background.

“This principle is a fundamental human right aimed at eliminating pay disparities based on gender, race or other non-merit factors. Implementing this principal will improve confidence in recruitment processes and to support fairer outcomes for workers. The Bill aligns with broader efforts to ensure dignity and equity in the workplace,” says Keyter.

MISA, the majority trade union in the retail motor industry representing more than 78 000 members, will participate in the public consultation process on the Bill to reflect the realities faced by workers in our industry.

MISA reaffirms its dedication to promoting fairness and dignity in employment. The Fair Pay Bill represents a step forward in addressing wage inequality.

Issued by Sonja Carstens, Manager of MISA’s Media & Communication Department, on behalf of the Union.
