# The Department of Employment and Labour says all designated employers must prepare and implement employment equity plans from next month to August 2030. This follows the conclusion of national workshops aimed at guiding employers on how to comply with the amended Employment Equity Act. Small businesses with less than 50 workers don’t have to send reports anymore. The department’s Teboho Thejane says the focus is on fair hiring, not quotas.
Labour Department urges designated employers to finalise equity plans
