Retail salaries in South Africa are different for each person. This is because of the experience they have the size of the company they work for and the job they do.
Here is a general idea of what people get paid.
Cashiers get paid between R4,000 and R7,000 every month when they first start. As they get experience they can earn more money.
General Workers get paid between R4,500 and R8,000 every month. People who work in warehouses might get paid a more.
Sales Assistants usually get paid between R5,000 and R9,000 every month. Sometimes they get money if they sell a lot of things in certain stores.
Store Managers who have a lot of experience can get paid between R12,000 and R25,000 or more every month. How much they get paid depends on how big the store’s how well it does.
There are a things that can affect how much money people get paid in retail jobs.
These things are:
where the store is, whether it is, in a city or a small town
how big the company is,
how experience they have
if they have to work at night
and if they have to work extra hours.
Retail jobs can get better over time. A lot of managers started out as cashiers or general workers. Worked their way up.
