In South Africa, employers are not legally / generally obligated to provide loans to employees for paying school fees or any other personal expenses. However, some employers may offer such loans as part of their employee benefits package or as a goodwill gesture. These loans are typically subject to the terms and conditions set by the employer and may be governed by the National Credit Act (NCA) if they involve interest or fees.

If you’re in need of financial assistance for school fees, you might want to explore other options such as:

• scholarships,
• bursaries, or
• educational grants.

Additionally, some schools offer payment plans or financial aid to help families manage the cost of education.

I hope you come right.
