SOUTH AFRICA EMPLOYMENT LAW GUIDE
The latest addition to XpertHR International is a guide to employment law in South Africa.
The guide provides a concise summary of the main points of South African employment law as a first point of reference for HR practitioners with responsibility for staff issues in South Africa. Along with the other XpertHR international guides, this guide will be updated monthly to take account of any recent and upcoming changes.
Distinctive features of South African employment law include a statutory obligation on employers with a total annual paybill of more than ZAR 500,000 to pay a Skills Development Levy of 1% of their paybill, and the absence of statutory requirements for the transferor or transferee to inform and consult employees or trade unions about business transfers.
In addition, because of the inequalities created by apartheid, employment equality legislation requires "designated employers" to take affirmative action measures to redress the disadvantages in employment experienced by "designated groups", in order to ensure their equitable representation in all occupational categories and at all levels of the workforce.
