1) A designated employer may refer to the Code of Good Practice: Preparation, Implementation and Monitoring of Employment Equity Plans when preparing the employment equity plan required by section 20 of the Act.
2) A designated employer must retain the employment equity plan for a period of three years after the expiry of the plan, unless the employer employs fewer than 150 employees, in which case the plan must be retained for two years.
3) The employment equity plan must contain a description of the measures taken by the designated employer to ensure non-discrimination in relation to HI V/AIDS in that employer’s workplace.
4) ‘A workplace’ means the place or places where the employees of an employer work. If an employer carries on or conducts two or more operations that are independent of one another by reason of their size, function, or organisation, the place or places where employees work in connection with each independent operation, constitutes the workplace for that operation.
