NEASA is involved in litigation against the Employment Equity Amendment Act (EEAA) and its recently published draft regulations. NEASA has also submitted written comments on the draft regulations, which can be accessed here.
From our previous survey conducted regarding the EEAA and draft regulations, we established that:
- of all participating employers, 99% are of the opinion that the EEAA and its regulations are bad economic policies;
- 74% confirmed that, should the EEAA and regulations be enforced, they would defy the policies completely; and
- the remaining 26% indicated that they would attempt to reach these targets which are in fact practicably impossible.
In order to further illustrate the impact of the EEAA and its regulations, NEASA calls on designated employers (50 or more employees) to participate in a further survey.
Employers’ information, as captured by this survey, will not be used in an identifiable manner, unless the employer expressly permits such use thereof for purposes of NEASA’s legal action. Only employers who elect to do so will be contacted individually in order to create an employment equity profile for purposes of preparing court papers.
