Employment Equity
Overview:

Every organisation with 50 or more employees or with an annual turn over of between R2mil and R15mil, depending on your industry, is required by law to compile an Employment Equity plan as well as report on the implementation of this plan. Penalties of up to R1.5 Mil can be incurred if you fail to comply with the Employment Equity act. Employment Equity is not the same as B-BBEE in that woman, peolpe of colour and people with disabilities fall under this law as designated employees.
What is Employment Equity?
Employment Equity is an attempt to promote the representation of woman, people of colour and people with disabilities (designated groups) in the economy.

What percentage of my employee profile should be part of the designated groups?
      • There are no fix guidelines; the numbers are determined by looking at the following:
      • The size of your organisation.
      • The industry you are doing business in.
      • The demographic area your company is situated in.
      • The availability of skilled people from designated groups.


Very Important:
This is not just a drive to hand over ownership or management to designated groups. It is a long term plan to improve the opportunities of designated groups. Your Employment Equity plan will show how you are planning to improve your Equity over the following years.

Our first priority is to run your business effectively, while complying with the Employment Equity Act.
