Understanding Your Obligations

  • Employment Equity Act Overview: All employers must ensure equal pay for equal work. Designated employers (those with 50+ employees or meeting specific turnover thresholds) must conduct workforce analyses and submit annual reports.

  • Designated Groups: Black people, women, and people with disabilities.

  • Affirmative Action: Measures to ensure equal opportunities and equitable representation in all occupational categories.

Why Employment Equity Matters

Employment equity is crucial for fostering a fair and inclusive workplace, aligning with South Africa’s constitutional values of equality and human rights. By implementing affirmative action measures, you not only comply with legislation but also enhance your B-BBEE rating and contribute to a more diverse and productive workforce.

What is the filing deadline?

A designated employer must submit a report to the Director-General once a year on the 1st working day of October. An employer who becomes designated on or after the first working day of April but before the first working day of October must submit its first report on the first working day of October in the following year. In both cases the employer may submit by the 15 January of each year provided the report is sent online.
