Employment Equity Reporting and Plans – Are you compliant?

Employment Equity
  • Fines for non-compliance are 2% of turnover OR R1.5million.
  • We are receiving calls from clients regularly where they have been inspected, are non-compliant and face substantial fines.
  • Contact Nicky Hardwick to ensure compliance and for advice.

The Department of Labour are actively conducting audits on all designated employers and have also established a task team to assist them in these audits.

The task team is specifically checking on three aspects of compliance, namely the Employment Equity Plan (EEA13), Employment Equity Report (EEA2) and Income Differential Statement (EEA4).

Part of the element of compliance in this regard is that you must ensure that the EEA2 and EEA13 are displayed in your workplace in an area where staff have access.

Our experience of this task team is that they do not issue employers with a notice of undertaking but rather these employers are being taken to court for failing to comply.

The fine for non-compliance in these areas is 2% of turnover or R1,5 million, whichever is the GREATEST.
