Employment Equity by Robert Paulsen

In recent years many changes have been made to South African employment law. From Employment Equity to Affirmative Action, the employment industry in South Africa now faces a completely new landscape, and not complying to the various regulations and rules are not even an option to industry and companies. That is why the need for companies specializing in labour relations in South Africa has never been higher. Companies are increasingly outsourcing to these companies to train and educate their Human Resource departments.

Employment Equity was designed to promote fair representation of different groups in the workplace, and in recent times the South African government have been cracking down on companies more and more who fail to comply with EE standards. The possible fines and penalties for being incompliant can extend to a fine of up to R500 000 to the cost of the company.

It simply makes more sense to invest in educating and training one"??s Human Resource department so as to enable them to comply with the various employment guidelines and regulations in South Africa. There really is no middle ground here, as responsible business owners the management is responsible for ensuring their companies are fully compliant to local and national employment regulations and guidelines, as ignorance of the law is no longer a lawful defence. Take the time to ensure your company can gain the benefit of being fully compliant.
