DEAR SIR/MADAM
I WOULL LIKE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THE MATTER OF MY SALARY COMPENSATION AT PRESENT.
I AM EMPLOYED AT COLLECT A DEBT (PTY) LTD AT PORT ELIZABETH, 169 CAPE ROAD, NEWTON PARK, SINCE 1ST DECEMBER 2018. I AM EMPLOYED AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT, AS MY PAYSLIP, INDICATES. I AM HOWEVER IN CHARGE OF 95% OF THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT SINCE I AM DRAFTING COURT DOCUMENTS AND ENGAGING IN QUERIES FROM COURT AND OTHER ATTORNEYS RE LITIGATION. I HAVE HAD PAST EXPERIENCE HEREIN AND AM STUDING AT PRESENT TOWARDS MY LLB. I AM EXTREMELY UNSATISFIED WITH THE SALARY OF R4000.00 (COLLECTOR'S STARTING SALARY) WHICH I AM PAID MONTHLY. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MY EMPLOYER, MRS FERREIRA, AND SHE RATHER POINTED ME TOWARDS SHERIFF FEES AND REGISTERED POST FEES THAT ARE STRAINING THE BUDGET OF THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT 3 NEW EMPLOYEES SHE APPOINTED RECEIVE R5000.00 TO R5500.00 PER MONTH SALARIES, AND THEY ARE NORMAL ADMINSTRATIVE ASSISTANTS AND ONE COLLECTOR. I GET GOOD EXPOSURE IN REGARDS TO MY STUDIES AND WORK IN A NOT BAD ENVIRONMENT BUT THE SALARY SCALE IS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE RESEARCHED LEGAL SECRETARY SALARIES IN THE EASTERN CAPE, AND IT BOTTOMS AT R9 701.00 PER MONTH. PLEASE ASSIST. HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. KIND REGARDS. ANDRINA LEMMETJIES
