Excellent experience in tax legislation and retirement funds
Work directly with tax legislation and new laws that have been introduced. Work with company and member level directly. Under constant pressure as we work with service level agreements according to fund set up. Also work with investment instructions regarding contribution given per member. We currently under staffed and working up to 4 funds per administrator. As no replacement staff has been recruited .As from July we are 10 staff down due to resignations. As we feel we are not being compensated accordingly. Normal debtor / creditor administrator receive at least 4000 rand more on salaries. People are are friendly and wonderful colleagues.
Pros: Training supplied continously as to keep us updated todate regarding tax legislation and retirement fund laws.and also on all new laws that have been implemented and act ammendments from the FSB
Cons: Constant pressure. No back up for you on your funds as we are under staffed "no buddy system in place "there can not be any assistance for you and your funds as everyone is constantly busy trying to complete their own work.we are open the whole year no closing time during December.thus taking annual leave or any leave is impossible. As there is no one to stand in for you on your funds regarding member claims or queries. Nor investment instructions regarding contributions. Emails pile up and queries. We receive app 60 mails a day and have 24 hrs to respond. Thus if you are ill or take 2 days leave. You fall behind and complaints are received from members and you then have a risk against you in that period of receiving warnings and also then being marked down on your performance. Which then directly effects any possible increase on your salary as you're a poor performer.
