Nearly 80 percent of employers are in compliance with the Employment Equity Act, Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant said on Thursday.

Of 9468 companies inspected for employment equity compliance in the past financial year 7449 were found to be in the clear, she said at an workshop to review the departments performance in 2010/11.

“This represents a whopping 79 percent compliance level,” Oliphant said in a statement.

She said the department had trained 1021 shop stewards on the Employment Equity Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act. - Sapa
