The Employment Equity Act focuses essentially on discrimination, past and present. Its stated objectives include the elimination of employment discrimination, ensuring employment equity to redress the effects of discrimination and to achieve a representative workforce. The Act contains two parts. The first concerns prohibition of discrimination and the second concerns affirmative action and the ways in which it is to be implemented and enforced in practice.

An employee, for the purposes of the Act, includes an applicant for employment. The part relating to affirmative action only applies to designated employers, which are all employers of 50 or more employees, or an employer of fewer employees but with more than a stated annual turnover, depending on the sector.

Vision Employment Equity Manager provides management with a powerful tool to interrogate information, analyse and display it in graphical or tabular format.

Audit Analysis

Vision Employment Equity Manager provides the infrastructure to record details about employees in order to supply the demographic, remuneration and development breakdown required. This information may be captured and maintained in Vision or an interface from an existing personnel system may be set up.

Equity Plan

An equity plan may be defined for any period required. This may be targeted headcount, training costs, training headcount, salaries, mentorship programs, bursaries granted etc.

As with any forecasts, there are two methods that may be used:

• Forecasts based on the past with correlation analysis to draw relationships between relevant information
• Forecasts based on statistical formulae which may be quantitive or qualitive 

Vision provides the environment to support any of these methods that you may require.
