allAfrica.com: South Africa: High Compliance Level By Employers in Mpumalanga Hospitality Sector – DOL

Minimum Wage Posted on by

A relatively high level of employers inspected by Department of Labour officials in the Gert Sibande Region in Mpumalanga this week were complying with the hospitality sectoral determination, a report issued by the department on Friday said.

This followed a rigorous process that commenced on Monday in the region as part of national inspections in Mpumalanga, North West, Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. The inspections form part of labour Minister, Mildred Oliphant’s drive to ensure protection of vulnerable workers in the country by seeing to it that employers abide by all labour laws.

Evelyn Mokoena, deputy director of inspection and enforcement services in the province, said out of the 49 workplaces inspected 29 were found to be complying with the labour laws around minimum wages – compensation for occupational injuries and diseases Act – unemployment insurance Act – unemployment insurance contributions Act – and the employment equity law.

“We appreciate this high level of compliance among employers and wish it can be replicated in other parts of the country. We also urge employers to collaborate with inspectors in the interests of productivity, economic growth and to promote sound labour relations at workplaces,” she said.
