Over the past decade, the number of government employees earning over R1 million a year has risen from 10,000 to over 55,000.
The number of government employees earning over R1 million per year has risen from 10,000 in 2013/14 to over 55,000 in 2023/24. Almost half of all 1.3 million employees will earn above R350,000 per year., detailing the government’s employment and compensation data.
However, in absolute terms, the government employee wage bill has skyrocketed from R408 billion in 2013/2014 to R724 billion in 2023/2024. Over time, a higher proportion of government employees have moved into higher-earning categories due to the higher cost-of-living adjustment agreed to in wage negotiations.
National Treasury said managing this growth is critical to fiscal sustainability and that above-inflation increases have raised the average remuneration per employee.
