Employment Equity Road Show hits Free State, KZN

The nationwide 2009 Employment Equity (EE) campaign today resumes in KwaZulu-Natal and the Free State provinces, with government’s social partners, business and organized labour out in full force to learn more on the new EE legislation requirements as well as the on-line report filing method.

The road show is aimed at affording stakeholders an opportunity to interact and assist each other on the correct interpretation of the EE laws, and how to go about using the more user-friendly process of submitting reports entailing a simplified method.Since 2008 the number of employers opting for the on-line route have been growing, with over 4 000 of them submitting, but as demonstrated by previous workshops, many others still need to know more about this.   

Employers are encouraged to report on-line by using documents on the departments web-site (www.labour.gov.za ) or for more information to contact the EE Help-line on 0860101018.

Employers still using the manual report filing system have until October 1 to submit their reports, while those utilizing the on-line method have from September 2009 until January 2010 to do so.  The media is invited.
