Are you a “designated employer”?
A “designated employer” is any employer with 50 or more employees, OR an annual turnover of:
| Agriculture | R6 million |
| Mining and Quarrying | R22.5 million |
| Manufacturing | R30 million |
| Electricity, Gas and Water | R30 million |
| Construction | R15 million |
| Retail, Motor trade and Repair services | R45 million |

| Catering, Accommodation and other Trade | R15 million |
| Transport, Storage and Communications | R30 million |
| Finance and Business services | R30 million |

Take note: Should a “designated employer” fail to comply with legislation, the fine for the first offence is R1.5 million or 2% of the employer’s annual turnover (whichever is the greatest). For repeat offenders it is R2.7 million or 10% of the employer’s annual turnover (whichever is the greatest).
