DENOSA has welcomed the judgment saying that deductions made from nurses salaries earlier this year, was illegal. Cuts were made to nurse’s salaries following incorrect payments made into their banking accounts by authorities.
DENOSA’s communications officer, Asanda Fongqo says that DENOSA is pleased with the ruling.
“It was their in competency that led to those incorrect payments, so workers cannot be held liable for their employer’s blunders,” said Fongqo.
“We welcome the judgment and we view it as a victory in this particular incidence.”
At the weekend, the judge ruled that all deductions made from nurses salaries were to be refunded. The judge also ordered that employers were to cover the legal costs involved in the court case.
