Five black employees who were paid less than a white colleague who did the same work as them at Makro have failed to prove discrimination against them on the basis of race.

This was the finding of the labour court after the five discovered their colleague, who had been employed as a merchandise controller since 2011, earned more than them.On April 24 that year, the five raised a grievance with management highlighting their dissatisfaction over salary disparities allegedly based on race. The company denied this was the case.

The next month, management at Masstores, trading as Makro, held a meeting with the five to discuss the alleged disparities.Historically, the recruitment process included considering a candidate’s employment history whether with the organisation or not and the salary that the candidate was earning at the time. stated all merchandise controller salaries had been reviewed against the pay range and adjustments made to ensure all were within the range.

Mthalane said this did not apply in this case as two other black employees earned far more than the white employee.“It follows therefore that if there is no dispute on the process followed by the prior to 2018 and there are two black employees who earn way above the comparator, then that is the end of the inquiry as the process is the reason for the disparity”.
