The Employment Equity Act (1998) requires all businesses with more than 50 employees to develop and implement an Employment Equity Plan. Non-compliance with this law can result in penalties, legal sanctions, or the company being excluded from doing business with the government. Therefore, for businesses to avoid fines or legal challenges, they must comply with the Act.

Employment Equity forms part of a company’s B-BBEE profile. It may contribute up to 19 points (or 16%) of a B-BBEE scorecard. Failure to comply with Employment Equity could see a company drop a B-BBEE level and affect their desirability as a preferential supplier to other companies.

Employment Equity in South Africa has the following  as its stated  purpose:

  1. To promote equal opportunity and fair treatment in employment through the elimination of unfair discrimination; and
  2. To implement affirmative action measures to redress the disadvantages in employment experienced by designated groups.

The ultimate goal is to ensure the equitable representation of underrepresented and previously disadvantaged groups  in all occupational levels in the workforce by way of a formal systematic process, which is punted as remedial or corrective in nature.

1. The concept of a Designated Employer.
