Frequently asked
Am I a designated employer?
Since 1 January 2025 you are a designated employer if you employ 50 or more people, or you are an organ of state. The old turnover test was removed (Employment Equity Act s1).
When are the EE reports due?
The reporting window opens on 1 September. Online submission of the EEA2 and EEA4 closes on 15 January the following year (Employment Equity Act s21).
What are the sectoral numerical targets?
Five-year targets per economic sector, gazetted on 15 April 2025 (GN 6124 in GG 52514) under s15A. Your EE plan goals must take them into account; where you fall short you need a reason the Act accepts.
Does TefCo submit the reports for me?
No. TefCo keeps your plan, committee records, dates and evidence in order and reminds you; you submit on the Department's EE online system yourself or through your adviser. TefCo does not give legal advice.
