Dear designated employer
The Employment Equity (EE) Act places strict and ongoing obligations on designated employers to ensure meaningful consultation on all EE matters.
Many employers underestimate the importance of properly establishing and maintaining an EE Committee — yet failure to comply with consultation requirements renders an employer non-compliant, even where annual reports have been submitted.
Due to increasing inspections and enforcement, we are hosting an online practical compliance training session to assist employers in understanding the legislative requirements relating to EE Committees and how to implement them correctly.
During this training session the following matters will be discussed:
- • Who qualifies as a designated employer
• The legal requirement to establish an EE Committee
• Composition and representation across occupational levels
• Election vs appointment of committee members
• Roles and responsibilities of the committee
• What “meaningful consultation” actually means
• Quarterly meeting requirements and record-keeping
• Minutes, attendance registers and inspection readiness
• Common compliance mistakes made by employers
• Practical guidance on maintaining ongoing compliance
Employers are strongly encouraged to attend to ensure legislative compliance and to prepare for possible Department of Employment and Labour inspections.
We assist employers with establishing compliant EE Committees, training committee members, and guiding structured meetings to ensure lawful, defensible and inspection-ready compliance.
