EMPLOYMENT EQUITY CONSULTANT / CONSULTING IN CAPE TOWN

The Employment Equity Act contains provisions that promote employment equity in the workplace, including provisions prohibiting unfair discrimination, regulating affirmative action and establishing a Commission for Employment Equity. A major challenge for designated employers is to comply with the Employment Equity Act (EEA) requirements.

Some of the legislated requirements are:

• Employers must consult with the unions and employees in order to make sure that the plan is accepted by everybody and to allow all parties to have fair input
• Employers must analyse all employment policies, practices and procedures, and prepare a profile of their workforce in order to identify any problems relating to Employment Equity.
• Employers must prepare and implement an employment Equity plan, setting out the affirmative action measures they intend taking to achieve the Employment Equity goals.
• Employers must report to the Department of Labour on the implementation of the plan in order for the department to monitor their compliance.
• Employers must display a summary of the provisions of the act to their workplace.
