A woman intrigued the online community when she shared the salary of a mechanical engineering graduate trainee.
Known for providing information on payslips of people working in various fields, Boni, who uses the handle @lifereset_za on TikTok, took to the app to share how much the trainee (who works for a construction company) makes.
Before getting into the numbers, Boni said of the anonymous person:
"They have a national diploma in mechanical engineering, and they've got the opportunity to join a graduate programme in Mpumalanga. They're originally from KZN."
Boni read that the person's basic salary was R8500, while a non-taxable subsistence amount was R4350, making the total earnings R12,850. The total deductions came to R178.76, with the net pay being R12,671.24.
