Employment Equity

Business Meeting

Employment Equity Compliance: 

​​

The Employment Equity Amendment Act and all form and regulations came into effect fully during the first quarter of 2025.​

​

A key chance is that designated employers are defined as employers who employ 50 or more staff members which excepts smaller organisations.

​

Broader powers are granted to the minister to determine sectors where transformation is deemed to be lacking.

In order to facilitate this change the following updated forms have been made available for compliance.

Also note that updated Employment Equity plans are mandated and should span from September 2025 - August 2030.

​

Updated forms and related documents:

1. Sectoral targets

2. EAP target applicable to semi-skilled and unskilled staff

3. EEA2 - staff report

4. EEA4 - staff payroll report

5. EEA12 - analysis of workforce

6. EEA13 - EE plan

​

Employment Equity & B-BBEE/BEE:

​​​

Transformation and BEE becomes a cornerstone of business success in the South African environment. Employment Equity plays a major role in the B-BBEE/BEE scorecard requirements. Employment Equity makes a significant contribution to the B-BBEE/BEE scorecard if implemented correctly. It flows into Management and Control ratings, skills ratings as well as ownership. 

An additional benefit is the Employment Tax Incentive (ETI), aimed at encouraging employers to hire young work-seekers.

​

Consequences for non-compliance:

​​

  • Fines for non-compliance start at R1.5 million and increase if this is not your first contravention or up to 10% of the employer’s annual turnover (whichever is the greatest).

  • Not able to claim BEE points on the scorecard.
