Government to be hard on employers

Lusanda Bill
19 December 2010

Minister of Labour Nelisiwe Mildred Oliphant is going to apply pressure on employers to radically redesign the workplace.

The Labour Department have put forward four Bills and if the Bills are passed then it will mean that state surveillance in the corporate world will be largely increased.

Minister Oliphant wants amongst other things to force employers to permanently hire staff instead of giving them rolling contracts, equal pay for equal work, and establishing a state employment agency in which every private sector job vacancy and every new employee will have to be listed.

If companies do not follow these requirements then those companies could face a fine up to ten percent of their annual turnover.
