The Employment Equity Amendment Act of 2020 has been signed by the President – what do we do now?
The SA Government website leads with this headline: The Amendment Bill seeks to advance transformation of South Africa’s workforce by setting equity targets for economic sectors and geographical regions, and requiring enterprises to develop transformation plans.
Thursday, 11th May 2023, 11 am – 1 pm SAST
How do the proposed changes to the legislation impact on our Employment Equity process? The changes envisage the setting of targets for economic sectors and also aim to introduce specific targets in areas that are "lagging from a transformation perspective".
Your employment equity plan is set to expire on the 1st September 2023, what do you do to prepare for this event? How should you plan for this deadline? The reporting deadline will not change and you will be required to report as usual - by the 15th January 2023.
Join us on the 11th May 2023, at 11 am, for two hours, to go through all the steps to make sure you prepare in line with the changes and do everything to report successfully.
Not to complete this vital step of reporting on time by the 15th January 2022, as this is an absolute requirement, makes you liable to pay a fine starting from R1,5 million.
With the more punitive approach adopted by the DEL, reporting implies that you have everything in place, including a viable EE Forum that consults regularly, an EE Plan, and have conducted the necessary analyses to analyse both your numerical goals and targets, and any barriers experienced by your staff. More importantly, your preparation must include the proposed new goals and targets for your specific economic sector.
In our online seminar, we will cover:
- We will cover all the proposed changes including incorporating the new goals
- Smaller companies, ie those with fewer than 50 employees will no longer need to report?
- How to incorporate the new Prevention and Elimination of Harassment Code, which came into effect in March 2022
- How to conduct an effective Barriers Analysis
- What are the next steps you can expect from the Department of Employment and Labour? What should you look out for?
- The communique from the government states that labour inspectors are now compelled to conduct inspections, make sure you pass such an inspection.
We will endeavour to answer all your questions, set you up to report accurately and on time; and not expose you to any compliance risks, should you be inspected.
