Employment Equity

Update on Demographics

The new amendments to the Employment Equity Act were gazetted on 16 January 2014. As an employer, this additional piece of legislation can leave you in financial ruin if you don’t comply with the new amended provisions. There has been a call from Dept of Labour to use national statistics when compiling the plan, however, this has been retracted and organisations now have the discretion in terms of using either national or regional statistics when completing their plan.

  • Do you have an Employment Equity Plan (EE Plan)?
  • Do you have an EE Plan for each region and office for your organisation?
  • Does it have all the legislative EE Amendments just passed on 16 January 2014?
  • Do you know what the new legislative EE measures and activities are?
