"A wide range of HR, IR and Training services covering everything you need."

HUMAN RESOURCES

Small to medium sized businesses can’t financially justify the costs of handling benefits, insurance, payroll, taxes, workers’ compensation, constantly varying regulations and other overwhelming human resource (HR) tasks. As a result HR is generally overlooked and often regarded as unimportant, or at best a grudge purchase. Like many other businesses, you can still operate without having to spend your valuable time attending to HR issues like employment contracts, job descriptions, skills development, policies and procedures, etc. Until you have an employee problem and you need to take action, not having the basics in place can cost you time and money.


In addition, ensuring your business is compliant with legislation such as Employment Equity and Skills Development is like walking a tight rope. One wrong step could mean disaster.

EMPLOYMENT EQUITY

Employment Equity legislation in SA has been tightened over the last year, but does not appear to be reaping the desired results. Little has changed by way of appointments of ‘the previously disadvantaged’ to top and executive management positions as anticipated. The Department of Labour Inspectors are active in carrying out audits of organisations and not sympathetic to any cause. Fines of up to R1 500 000 or 2% of turnover are being imposed on non-complaint companies! The Act was drafted in 1998 and there are no longer excuses.


If you are not compliant, heavy penalties for companies AND the “responsible person” may be imposed. The fines are too onerous for you to not fully comply.
