Protecting Fair Competition for Talent: Report Firms Demanding Payslips When Recruiting
Firms who undermine a fair competition for talent in South Africa must be reported to the Competition Commission using the CC1-Complaint form available here.
Remuneration and benefits information amounts to competitive intelligence and should not become bargaining chips disclosed to rival firms competing for talent.
The sharing of such confidential information undermines a fair competition for talent among firms.
This means if you are employed and looking for other opportunities, you have no right to disclose your current employers pay and benefits to a business rival competing for your skills. By providing this competitive information, companies unfairly poach staff from other companies.

Companies outrightly don’t hire you without a salary,slip or refuse to make an offer without it.. completing unethical yet government does nothing to safe guard discrimination and inequality!
