Announcement: Effective Date of Employment Equity Act Amendments – 1 January 2025
- The amendments restrict the application of certain sections of the Employment Equity Act to a reduced group of employers, relieving the administrative burden on smaller employers.
- The amendments introduce sectoral numerical targets to ensure equitable representation of historically disadvantaged groups based on race, gender, and disability at all occupational levels in the workforce. Currently, no final sectoral numerical targets have been published.
