Working Hours

Some private clinics and occupational health centres run Saturday morning shifts from 07:00–13:00.

Salary Range

R4,800 – R6,000 per month

According to ShiftMate placement data, ward clerks in Edenvale earn between R4,800 and R6,000 per month. The lower end typically applies to entry-level candidates placed at smaller medical practices or GP rooms near Greenstone Mall. The upper end reflects roles at larger occupational health centres or private clinics in the Edenvale Industrial Area, where experience with medical aid billing or specific software like GoodX adds value. South Africa's national minimum wage of R28.79 per hour (2026) sets the legal floor — full-time ward clerk work at that rate would yield approximately R4,800 per month, making the ShiftMate range competitive for the area.

Ward clerks in Edenvale typically earn R4,800–R6,000/mo — broadly in line with Johannesburg CBD rates (R5,000–R6,500/mo) and slightly above the national average for the role (R4,500–R5,500/mo), reflecting Gauteng's higher cost of living.

Pay Scale — General Application

Level	Pay Rate
Entry Level (NMW)	R30.23 / hour
Experienced	R33.00 – R40.00 / hour

Pay rates are estimates based on South African sectoral determinations and market data for the Johannesburg area. Actual pay may vary by employer.
