regarding types of deductions and contributions, etc.

Employers keep various records, e.g. employee name; date of birth; physical &
postal address; ID number; dependants; tax reference number and contact

working hours, nature of appointment (i.e. full-time, temporary,
permanent, part-time etc.), remuneration, benefits (e.g. vacation leave,
