Due to the abundance of public holidays, it is possible to take minimal leave days and still get a significant chunk of time off. Despite the strategic approach, many employees still find themselves at loggerheads with their employees over leave days.

What are legalities around annual leave, sick leave and maternity leave?

Savings Month is a national awareness campaign with the objective to promote debate around key aspects of saving, raise awareness of the benefits of short, medium and long term planning AND to get consumers to move from dissatisfaction into action

• What are the most tried and tested ways to beat inflation and make sure that you can afford to live your best life in future?
• For a person who has never invested in any products, where should they start?
• Low and middle class income earners have been severely affected by the interest rate hikes and are struggling to make ends meet - Is it even practical for them to save let alone invest in their future today?
