South African Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (SATAWU) has signed a one-year wage agreement with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (Psira) effective as of 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019.
The agreement applies to Psira employees in the bargaining unit level A2 to C4 of the Paterson Grading system.
Parties agreed on a 7% basic salary increase backdated to 1 April 2018. A housing allowance of R500 has been introduced as of the same date. The car allowance for the 2018/2019 year, for those who qualify, will go up by 5.3% in line with National Treasury’s projected CPI rate. Car allowance will also be backdated to 1 April 2018.
Study leave will be reviewed to ensure all employees are entitled to two days for every subject written. Psira employees shall be entitled to four months maternity leave with three months fully paid. The Human Capital division will assist workers claim payment for the fourth month from the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF).
Employees will be workshopped on how the Psira Pension Fund operates and on HR policies.

I’m disappointed that only one year agreement was signed but housing allowance addition is welcome news .i plead with all parties to also look at night shift allowance
Comment *I think if government is serious about calling of Labour broker’s must start allowing. companies to employ all securities under their pay roll
please Mr Bhembe keep us informed about back dated from april 2018 will these companies pay us as from april up until september the difference”’
For what?
Comrade your increase is only due in September. It cannot be backdated to April if it is only due in September.
How much will be the increase if I may ask next month for security officers ?
Up until today there is no official memo regarding the said increase
I just want to know when we start paying this new wage,is it would be July or August or it will start on September as usually?pls Sir can you answer me on that
This increase is for people who work for Psira ONLY. It was paid end of June already.
So Mam you mean that there’s still no wage agreement for all security officers under private security companies.I thought this agreement was for all security officers,can you give us feedback on that issue.#What about us(Private Security Officers in South Africa)
Negotiations are still ongoing. Increase is only due in September. That’s two months away.
Please comrade can you tell me what is a new rate for September 2018
Hi please i just want to know about the national rate of R20p/h when it will be start,
In October Comrade.
Is this increase already working or is goin to start by September ?
Good day Comrade. This increase is for people who work for Psira ONLY not other security companies.
how much increase for 2018 in the private security company
Dear madam or sir I just need to know that is true that we are gng to work from6to14 which means its to be 3,shift a day
Hi i would like to ask about these texts that are doing the rounds people claiming that as from 1 September security officers will earn R7500 & work 8hours shift
Security sector wage negotiation are still continuing Comrade. Nothing has been signed yet.
How true with issue of security Bargaining council ,is it effective yet or its just proposal
jo wat wil we get pyd 2018 to 2019 plz i got to nou asap
How much basic for september 2018
Hi, Comrade, what is the increase for security officers for this year?
my concern is this things called areas 1;2& 3.abolish this asseblief
When increase start working R7500,00
Psira does not want to give us the answer and we don’t understand why because is our right to know….
The Employers are Playing delaying tactics until the minimum wage bill comes into effect and you the unions are allowing them and i know for sure that us who are in area 1 are not going to benefit if the bill come into effect coz we will get an increase of 28 cent per hour which means an increase of R57.12 on the basic salary. I SEE STRIKE FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN AREA 1
Hy any feedback from yesterday negotiations?
Hi I want to know that those people from other countries they work here in our country but still pairs deosnt take them out of the system but they changed their system what will happen to them
Can we cancel Psira Becoz there is nothing they did for us even in our working condition because we are at every single day but they just deducting our money for nothing
Good morning sir/madam,i just want to ask or confirm what is the increase for security officer from next month ?
hi everyone , this article is talking about home allowances and car allowances and stuff, I work for Bidvest protea coin in lonmin Marikina and we don’t have any knowledge about that , or maybe im the one who doesn’t understand, can someone please explain if maybe we are being deprived of what belongs to us or what.
So security officers do not fall on this wage increase agreement
Psira has sale us to be slaves of the Rich’s indirect, as long as we securities don’t strike and fight for valued salaries and rights as worker’s with respect.We don’t have bright future.
The bord of Psira must step down for pension and let youth handle their mistakes cause we can’t afford nothing in life because of their greediness and that is how criminalism is planted in humanity. Politicians, Artists, Artisan, Opareters and Drivers always strike for money but you even fail to give us cents we are valued for.
Hi I justwant to know Area 2 rate for 2018 -2019
I want to know about NKP y is the salary for those who work in an NKP areas their salary is determined by PSIRA whereas NKP is for sasseta,y not sasseta determined NKP Officers salaries like for example cash solutions being determined by transport cause we are robbed us NKP Officers
This is so disappointing Psira does not respect security officers hence they risk their lives making sure that company clients are kept happy and safeguarded at all times. The salary they get is not enough not even for transport, negotiations on the wage increase are taking forever we are now in mid October and none is being shared within the industry on the increase.
Sir/madam it’s when our increase start bus know is two months.
I wish government take us permanently, otherwise, I see more problems, this private companies are playing us,when you sick you must go to see a doctor, but at the end of the day we don’t get paid,please, please, government must take us permanently, once n for all, finish & KLAAR
How about government take us permanently
