I am writing this review as a matter of public record regarding a significant unresolved payroll debt at 1-grid. Despite my dismissal and formal demands for payment, the company still owes me a total of R 21,500.70 in statutory dues for work performed between September and December 2025.
Management has ignored detailed breakdowns and legal correspondence regarding the following outstanding amounts:
Accrued Leave Payout: R 13,321.28 (16 days unpaid – a mandatory requirement under Labor Law).
Public Holiday Premiums: R 2,035.66 (Worked 16 & 26 Dec; paid single rate instead of the double rate required by BCEA Sec 18).
Sunday Pay Premiums: R 4,071.76 (8 Sunday shifts paid at 1.0x instead of the 1.5x premium required by BCEA Sec 16).
Night Shift Allowance: R 2,072.00 (28 shifts worked 22:00–07:00 without the standard 10% allowance).
My signed Offer of Employment explicitly states operating hours are between 07:00 and 19:00; however, I worked these additional shifts in good faith. 1-grid has failed to honor these statutory obligations.
I have 6 credible witnesses and digital logs confirming my shift attendance. I am prepared to escalate this further through the CCMA and Labor Commissioner. Potential employees and clients should be aware of these internal practices.
I will update this review if and when 1-grid settles the outstanding balance.
