GENERAL REMUNERATION
Group companies’ general remuneration levels are determined by market surveys for the particular industry sector in which they operate. The levels of basic remuneration are reviewed annually based on market movements as reported in various surveys.

Employment positions are evaluated using recognised evaluation systems. Salary scales are determined using a unified pay structure which identifies a minimum and maximum range for each position. Individual performance systems determine the actual pay level within a particular grade.

The group’s salary/wage bill including incentive bonuses and profit share incentives for the reporting year and for 2007 per occupation level for temporary and permanent staff is tabled below: 
R000

Middle management 113 741 6 046 119 787 105 288 2 958 108 246

Semi-skilled 144 303 31 280 175 583 141 340 13 154 154 494
Least skilled 52 098 2 946 55 044 37 927 4 449 42 376
Total 920 103 65 411 985 514 780 965 37 138 818 103
 
The total payroll increased by R167 million. The disposal of Sheltam Grindrod, PicPack Grindrod and two units of the Auto Carrier Transport division (Bachelor Vehicle Deliveries and Vehicle Care Preservation) who employed a large number of staff, would have reduced the total payroll. However, amounts paid to Island View Shipping executives and general staff in settlement of the profit share scheme, together with some offshore group companies’ payrolls previously excluded from the figures, have resulted in the 2008 payroll increasing over the 2007 payroll. This is particularly evident in the senior management level.
