Dear All<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Compliments of the new year. We wish you a successful 2014.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2014 was predicted to be a busy year and it has not disappointed thus far. Besides the current labour
\nunrest and looming national election dates, matters have moved quite rapidly on the legislative front.<\/p>\n

The Basic Condition of Employment Act<\/strong>
\nThis piece of legislation was gazetted in December with no further changes. This is clearly indicative of<\/span>
\nthe start of the finalisation of the labour law amendment process and we should expect these to be in<\/span>
\nplay during the first quarter of 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

Employment Tax Incentive Bill<\/strong>
\nThis bill has finally seen the light of day and is effective as from 1 January 2014.
\nIn brief the Bill introduces a Tax Incentive aimed mainly at encouraging employers to hire young and
\nless experienced work seekers. Although specific regulations are still outstanding, specifying industries
\napplicable etc, there is no indication in the scheme to preclude temporary employment services (TES)
\nhowever we are not precisely sure whether you can claim the subsidy yet or not. We are investigating
\nand will let you know as an industry as soon as possible.
\nIt would be interesting to see how this short term measure impacts upon youth unemployment and
\nwhether this provides sufficient incentive for employers to increase their hire.<\/p>\n

Employment Equity Act<\/strong>
\nThis bill was also gazetted on the 17th of January with the fines still sitting at the R1.5 million mark in
\ncertain instances and 2% of turnover in others.<\/p>\n

No effective date (i.e. implementation) has been set for this or the BCEA as yet and we suspect that<\/span>
\nthis will be aligned to the LRA and Employment Services Bill (ESB) as soon as these are finalised at the<\/span>
\nNational Assembly, expected shortly after their return from recess.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whilst we are discussing the LRA, there still appears to be a limited amount of individuals who still have
\nthe incorrect interpretation of the deemed provision. We refer to our previous correspondences with
\nindustry where we indicated that the interpretation is:<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter consideration of the Act and the statements made by the Department, an employee will be<\/span>
\ndeemed an employee of the client company and the TES after the 3 month period for the purposes of<\/span>
\nthe Labour Relations Act only. What this means is that the employees remains on the TES\u2019s books and<\/span>
\nthese employees may cite both the TES and their client company in a dispute. This amounts to joint<\/span>
\nand several liability and your risk area as a client is mainly around dismissals. Similarly when the<\/span>
\nemployee (subject to application being limited to those paid under the threshold amount (R193 805)<\/span>
\nhas completed 3 months\u2019 service, then the principles of equal treatment for work of equal value apply.<\/span>
\nThat is only where you have an exact comparator in your permanent workforce. Issues like length of<\/span>
\nservice, quantity and quality of output, qualification and experience and any other non-discriminatory<\/span>
\nfactors will justify a differential.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Gavel<\/a><\/p>\n

We have also engaged some of the most well respected firms and labour specialists in the country for
\ntheir opinions. These have echoed our views. If you or any of your clients require more explanation or
\ndiscussion of this clause do not hesitate to contact writer hereof.<\/p>\n

We look forward to providing you with information as it happens as well as support through this
\nchallenging period.<\/p>\n

\nCAPES Chief Operating Officer
