Unions say Transnet’s double payment of salaries not their problem

Transnet, the state-owned freight and logistics company, has recently come under fire for the double payment of salaries to some of its employees. While the company has acknowledged the issue and is working to rectify it, they have stated that the double payment of salaries is not their problem.

The double payments were made due to a system error, which caused the company to mistakenly pay some of its employees twice in the same month. Although the company has said that it is working to resolve the issue, it has also stated that it is not responsible for the double payments.

The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA), which represents some of Transnet’s workers, has criticised the company for its handling of the situation. NUMSA has argued that Transnet should take responsibility for the double payments and provide compensation to the affected employees.

However, Transnet has maintained its stance that the double payments are not their problem. The company has argued that the system error was caused by an external software provider and that it is not responsible for the double payments.

The company has also argued that the double payments were not caused by any negligence or wrongdoing on their part. Transnet has stated that it is working to ensure that the affected employees are compensated for any losses they may have incurred due to the double payments.

While NUMSA has criticised Transnet for its handling of the situation, the union has also acknowledged that the double payments were not caused by any wrongdoing on Transnet’s part. The union has stated that it is important for the company to take responsibility for the double payments and to ensure that the affected employees are compensated for any losses they may have incurred.

In conclusion, Transnet has maintained that the double payments of salaries to some of its employees was not their problem. The company has argued that the system error was caused by an external software provider and that it is not responsible for the double payments. NUMSA has criticised the company for its handling of the situation, but has also acknowledged that the double payments were not caused by any wrongdoing on Transnet’s part.
