According to holding group Massmart, the union accepted an increase of R460 across the board or 7.5%, whichever is greater.
While industrial action continues at Game, more than 51% of staff belonging to the bargaining unit accepted the company's wage offer and have returned to work, according to Massmart.
"In a further development, the Labour Court has dismissed the action brought against Game by Saccawu, regarding the replacement of the company's clock card time and attendance system with a thumbprint verification system.
"The Court granted a cost order against the union. In terms of the order all staff are required to use the system to access the workplace," the group said.
Makro and Dion stores have continued to trade normally throughout the industrial action, Massmart added.
Meanwhile, "constructive negotiations" between Jumbo Cash and Carry and Saccawu were under way, with a further meeting scheduled to take place on 27 August, it concluded.
