The Department of Labour’s inspection and enforcement service have actively been conducting audits over the last few months, with fines being issued for areas of non-compliance.
So, how can you be prepared?
When conducting an audit, the Department of Labour will request the following documentation to be sent to them for review:
- Proof that a copy of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act is displayed for all employees to see
- Copies of attendance registers for the last two months – Note: These must be in the form of a physical signed attendance register or a Time and Attendance system report
- Signed employment contracts of at least two employees – Note: Any person who works for more than 24 hours per month is deemed to be an employee and must have a contract
- Information about remuneration (2 x payslips)
- Unemployment Insurance, registration number as well as proof of last payments
- COIDA registration number as well as proof of last payment
- Company letterhead or copy of CIPRO certificate
- List containing the names and ID numbers of all employees
