Pretoria - The department of labour is embarking on nationwide roadshows to
remind employers of the looming deadline to submit their employment
equity (EE) reports.
On Friday department spokesperson Page Boikanyo said the roadshows
would kick off in the Northern Cape and Mpumalanga next week.
New amended regulations aimed at making reporting by employers
short and easy will be demonstrated at the roadshows.
Boikanyo said the new abridged method had resulted from numerous
complaints by employers about the lengthy forms they had to
complete.
"While the new method entails simplified forms, the data and the
integrity of the system have not been sacrificed," he said.
"We would, however, also urge for the continued use of on-line
report-filing by companies ahead of the October 1 deadline."
However, Boikanyo said filling in the forms was not the only EE
requirement as the real work was in reporting on the progress made
in the workplace with regard to transformation.
"This entails consultation, audit and analysis as well as proper
employment equity plans and the achievement of numerical goals,"
said Boikanyo.
The roadshows will be held from 10:00 until 13:00 next Tuesday at
the Flamingo Casino in Kimberley and the Protea hotel in Witbank.
