Employers can't hide behind ignorance

Employers will no longer be able to use the excuse they did not know how to implement Employment Equity policies. This follows the publication of the new Code of Good Practice on the Integration of Employment Equity into HR Policy and Practice, Government Gazette No 27866, August 4 2005. This new code, reports The Star, spells out how the employer's EE obligations are to be integrated into its everyday human resources policies and practices. The code is comprehensive and covers numerous topics, including Implementing EE, Recruitment & Selection, Promotion and Transfer, Impact on Employment Equity and Harassment, among many others.
