Department of Labour Audits
How to be prepared
The Department of Labour’s inspection and enforcement service have actively been conducting audits over the last few months, with fines being issued for areas of non-compliance.
So, how can you be prepared?
When conducting an audit, the Department of Labour will request the following documentation to be sent to them for review:
- Proof that a copy of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act is displayed for all employees to see.
- Copies of attendance registers for the last two (or more) months. Note: These must be in the form of a physically signed attendance register or a Time and Attendance system report.
- Signed employment contracts of at least two employees. Note: Any person who works for more than 24 hours per month is deemed to be an employee and must have a contract.
- Information about remuneration (2 x payslips) & Monthly Analysis Reports.
- Unemployment Insurance, registration number, as well as proof of last payments.
- COIDA registration number, as well as proof of last payment.
