  • Present a detailed list of your shareholders to prevent claims of B-BBEE fronting!

  • It\'s no wonder black economic empowerment is seen as such a nightmare by many businesses. You need to keep an employment equity file stuffed with documents as proof of your compliance, and to make matters worse, further changes to employment equity are expected in just a few weeks.

But you'll come under fire for employee promotion if you're doing so simply to meet your company's affirmative action plan, and you could face a charge of unfair discrimination. That's why the Labour Court in Gauteng has ruled that the SA Police Service mustn't implement any employee promotions in line with its existing affirmative action plan until all lawsuits against the plan have been heard. Here's how to make sure your employee promotions are fair. ››› more
