Dear Dirk & Team
Thank you for letting me join your mule train on Wednesday 30/8, T was impressed with the
contribution from all management towards a positive manner, especially when you found various
problems, although there were not many serious issues
The overall impression I have of your store and your back-ups is that you all have a ‘hands on’ and
4 good team spirit to make your store really great. Although your Fresh Food and Perishable
‘Managers are still new, I am sure that they will get involved and become part of that positive team
in your store.
Overall, | am very impressed with the high standards and cleanliness on your shop floor and back-
up areas. I am sure that with the positive attitude from everybody, your store in the next six
months is going to show great difference on the contribution towards the profitability of the
Company.
Ifthere is anyway I can be of an assistance at any time, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Dirk
‘The remuneration package for Line Store Managers has come under close scrutiny over
the past couple of months, mainly due to the ever increasing demand being placed on the
Pick ‘n Pay Store Manager as well as the need to ensure that the company is the leader in
this field.
In view of the above I am pleased to inform you that as from 1* November 2000 your
salary has been reviewed and will be increased by R. 1550 bringing your basic salary to R
16400 per month.
This increase for Line Managers obviously will require us in the region to focus even
more on ensuring a top performance for the current six months particularly considering
the extra costs.
Jam also pleased to inform you that the maximum Managers Allowance will increase as
of the 1* April 2001 from R5000 to R10 000 following the next round of assessments,
The assessment is currently being reviewed to place more emphasis on the areas of focus
required to maximise potential.
‘The areas that the GM’s are currently looking at to add more value are: Turnover (total
store and service areas), Wages, P.O.S Gross as well as adding points for a well run
guiding coalition.
Tam sure you will agree that the company has taken a significant step forward in ensuring
that the people managing our stores are well remunerated. It remains for you to continue
to produce the level of result that we have become accustomed to.
Thank you for the incredible role that you play.
With best wishes.
Yours sincerely
