Employment Equity Compliance & Advisory Services

Under the current Employment Equity framework a designated employer is:

  • An employer with 50 or more employees,

  • An organ of the state, regardless of the number of employees; or

  • An employer designated through a collective agreement.  

Designated employers are required to consult with employees, analyse their workforce and employment practices, prepare and implement an Employment Equity Plan, monitor progress and submit annual Employment Equity reports.

Employers with fewer than 50 employees are generally no longer required to prepare Employment Equity Plans or submit annual reports under Chapter III, although they must still comply with the Act's broader requirements relating to equal opportunities and unfair discrimination.
