ASAMBO EMPLOYMENT EQUITY ACT COMPLIANCE

All employers who employ more than 50 employees or who have a turnover in excess of certain amounts detailed per industry in the Employment Equity Act are legally required to comply with Chapter III of the Employment Equity Act (Affirmative Action section), whilst all employers regardless of their size and turnover are obligated to comply with Chapter II (dealing with Unfair Discrimination) of the Act.

Failure to comply with the Employment Equity Act can result in penalties ranging from R1.5m to 2% of company turnover. Compliance is also a prerequisite to earn B-BBEE points on the Management Control Scorecard. Most employers are aware of the requirement to report online annually to the Department of Labour regarding their Employment Equity statistics but many are unaware that compliance involves not just annual reporting but also extensive consulting and planning with a workplace consultative forum.

We facilitate and manage this process for our clients to ensure compliance.
