The Company aims to maintain a compensation (wages/salary, employee benefits, annual leave, etc.)
system that is fair and internally equitable. Rates of pay are determined based on National
Agreements, job requirements, the competencies required to do the job, the performance of the
Company and the economic and commercial environment within which it operates.
Your remuneration is specified in your Contract of Employment. Pay reviews in the Company are based
on four main principles, 1) National Wage Agreement, 2) Ability to pay, 3) Performance of employee
during the year, 4) position against market. A review, where applicable, will only be conducted for
those employees who have successfully completed their probation periods and who are not subject
to the company's disciplinary procedure.

The company must be responsive to the needs of our customers. Consequently, employees may be

The Company continues to look at ways and means of improving the work/life balance of our
employees, bearing this in mind we need to ensure that the legislation of working hours and rest
periods are applied.

work same. It is recognised that overtime working is not compulsory, but employees agree to co-
operate in working reasonable amounts of overtime as deemed necessary by management to meet
business and customer requirements.

worked will be paid at the normal rate of pay as stated on the contract of employment.
