The Minister of Employment and Labour, Mr Thulas Nxesi, has recently expressed grave concerns about the rate of transformation in South African workplaces. This concern has motivated him to fast track the amendment of the Employment Equity Act. The imminent implementation of the Employment Equity Bill signals a more aggressive approach to transformation which focus on enforcement measures as well as sectoral targets being introduced.
It is essential for employers to familiarise themselves with the amendments to the Employment Equity Act, as failure to comply upon their enactment may result in gruelling labour inspector audits or hefty fines imposed by the Labour Court.
