The cellphone invoice is covered fully as an expense by Umalusi. No additional allowances are paid for car, accommodation or credit card. Where an employee uses their own personal vehicle for travel, Umalusi reimburses the employee in line with the monthly rates set by the Department of Transport. A non-taxable daily subsistence allowance is paid to employees who are away from their normal residence for a period longer than 24 hours, based on the rates set by the Minister of Public Service and Administration.
