The Department of Employment and Labour is currently consulting with various sectors and will be finalising their proposal to set the Employment Equity (EE) Sector Target.
For Printing SA to make a fair representation on behalf of its members, it requires their urgent input on Circular EE003. Please read the important contents of this Circular EE003 and submit your responses by no later than 20 July 2021 to Khanyi Ntanzi: kntanzi@printingsa.org
On 6 July 2021, the Department of Employment and Labour (DoEL) invited the manufacturing of wood and product of wood, furniture, cork, articles of straw, plaiting materials, paper and paper products sub-sector to discuss the setting of Employment Equity (EE) Sector Target. This follows a previous consultation meeting held on 26 May 2021 with the manufacturing of printing, publishing and reproduction of recorded media sub-sector.
The Employment Equity Amendment Bill requires the minister to consult with economic sectors when setting numerical targets to achieve employment equity. The consultation with all relevant stakeholders within sectors was the call from businesses because allowing the minister to impose such targets without significant consultation will result in a one-size-fits-all approach. If you had already made responses to the first request, you are not required to make any additional responses.
