Hi Madam you are quite an eccentric according to your choice of topic "Pay Slip" This also coincides with your values such as "paying for what you want as opposed to getting it for free" keynesian
I worked for a dealership for almost 5 years. I did my apprenticeship with that particular dealership.... Underpayment is so their style. I resigned and went straight to a government job and worked as an administrator. 😂 Incentive is usually not even that much. Even the basic isn't that much for some mechanics 😂. At that time you've made the company+R200 000 in that month alone. Never going back
@@liferesetwithboni so so right. The management doesn't even care when you're sick... They care about the money more than their employees. Last year alone 5/6 of us out of 12 mechanics resigned.
Hi Boni another scare trade is Seamer Technicians I'm am 1 and I qaulified as a fitter and Turner in September 2023 my first job offer I got was R500k and my company counter offered it
Mostly it is done in house by a seamer mechanic in the canning industry (FMCG) that is how I was trained it's so weird that the trade is not recognised by SAQA while it is so important trade in the canning industry. You can google it "seamer mechanic pay in South africa" entry level is about R29k pm while average pay is about R34k pm and the more experience guys can make about R375k pm is about R4,5 milion pa. You also have to have a RedSeal in fitting bt most companies prefer Fitter and Turners with experience in the FMCG working on seamer machines. Atleast 2-3 yrs. Not alot of people know about the trade but it's a good career and it pays well. And what I can tell you is people is going to eat and drink from cans until.....
Can he please list the subjects that you need to take ku N2 of Millwright, I’ve seen most public tvet colleges doesn’t have N2 Millwright but the way you arrange the modules can open doors. I’ve seen the other post saying they need. Engineering Maths Engineering Science Industrial Electronics Electrical Trade theory Fitting and machine theory I don’t know if this is possible or not
Good day mam I'm a 50 year old lady, from FET College. Would really want to graduate for my diploma never got to finished my internship hence it was cut short , and never got any other employment up till now and really would like to further my studies Norma Could
Good interview, I qualified 2003 as an instrument mechanician and again qualified in 2008 as electrician. * 2003 I qualified apprenticeship route * 2008 I qualified section 26 route I also have N6 and N Diploma * I'm currently running a side hustle as a solar installer * My path was not easy, however i made it and will never go to bed hungry again. Wishing everyone who starting in these journey success, you won't regret the decision of becoming an artisan. * Artisanship is the best route of starting a small business which has demand all year round. Kind Regards
Everybody knows on the Engineering industry.. There is a pay gap.. Based on racial profiling.. I know people who were older and had more experience.. They had apprenticeship and the "mentor".. Who is a senior Technician.. It turned out that the Apprentice was getting paid more than the Technician...needless to say the Technician was Black.. The apprentice was NOT black... The technician went to the office after he found out from the apprentice that was the case.. They rebuked him with, "his rent".. His cost of living.. As to give the impression, that the older black guy with more responsibilities at work and family outside of work.. They down played him.. Went to as far as to ask, what does he need that much money or more money for?...thats across board... The Recruiter will tell you the Money for the job is x amount.. But once you go to the interview...the price gets dropped.. From this R37 000 this guy is talking about to R25 000...what do you want us to think?
Travis mentioned that he was studying to become an electrician to his friends now my question is was Travis studying to be an electrician and became a millright when he got the apprenticeship or was he studying to be a millwright ?
In order to become a millwright you only need 4 electrical modules (subjects) and 1 mechanical subject, so as he was studying to become electrician i believe he just added 1 subject for him to write trade test
This is correct, he did MEchanical engineering and all the other electrical subjects, I just looked at his CV but naye he can explain later. @@sbusisoprince9101
@@liferesetwithboni reason being, iam also a Qualified millwright, holding N6 certificate in electrical engineering studies, but in N5 i just did power machines wich is mechanical subject just to qualify to write trade, but all my subjects were electrical
Just checked he has one year expereince and I can see why he said this guy with 8 years experience in a mine is under paid, but he will answer you as well. @@joshuajooste
Hi sis boni, I'm really interested in doing fitting & turning but i don't have maths & science in my matric certificate. Currently I'm doing 2nd year LLB at unisa. Is it possible to change to engineering without science ??
