The agreement is effective from July 1, and will be valid until June 30, 2020.

Under the terms of the agreement, the wage component of employees in Category A will be increased by 6% during the first year. During the subsequent two years, from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2020, these employees will receive an increase of 6% or a Consumer Price Index increase limited to 7%, depending on whichever is the higher amount.

The salaries of Category B employees will be increase by R1 000 across the board each year.

Further, Sibanye’s contribution to the employees’ medical fund will increase by R50 with effect from July 1.
