We have reached that time of year again when designated employers need to start thinking about their Employment Equity submissions. Failure to comply could result in substantial fines and an audit from Department of Labour.
A designated employer means:
- A person who employs 50 or more employees;
- A person who employs fewer than 50 employees but has a total turnover that is equal to or above the applicable annual turnover of a small business in terms of Schedule 4 of this Act;
All designated employers are then required to comply with the following in terms of the Employment Equity Act.
- Submit Employment Equity Reports and Income Differential statement by 1 October 2012.
- Assign a Senior Manager to manage and implement Employment Equity in the company
- Establish a Consultative Forum
- Prepare an Employment Equity Plan
