Employment Equity Act Training Course

Employment Equity Course

Details

The Employment Equity Act requires a company to comply with its provisions, including the Skills Development Legislation, in terms of recruitment policy, while ensuring employees are trained and developed under the Skills and Development Act. Many employers need to align with the Employment Equity Act and Skills Development Legislation to complete EE reports and claim back Skills Development Levies. Companies must comply with these acts to achieve BEE scorecard targets.

The course enables delegates to understand the fundamentals of the Employment Equity Act and Skills Development Legislation. The author of the course, Michael Opperman, is also the author of two books: “A Practical Guide to Disciplinary Hearings” and “Investigating Misconduct and Incapacity.”

Both books are published by Juta Law.

Add me to the waiting list

Should you need this course urgently, the following options are available:

Pay for 6 delegates (whether you have them or not) and we will schedule the course as soon as possible.
If you have fewer delegates and cannot pay for 6, we can negotiate a shortened course where some of the time will be spent in blended learning - watching videos and doing tutorials and exercises with some contact time with the trainer. We would want to discuss what your core needs are so that we cover those aspects. You need to have paid for 3 delegates at least.
