The EE Act (Section 53 (5) as Amended) states that the relevant Codes of Good Practice MUST be referred to. 


Code of good practice: Preparation, implementation and monitoring of employment equity plans :  
 

Section 6.1.2.1~All employees should be made aware and informed of – 
 

  1. The objectives, content and application of the Act, its regulations and Codes of good practice in preparation for their participation, including consultation.
  2. Matters relating to the identification, prohibition and elimination of unfair discrimination and affirmative action to achieve equality and diversity in the workplace.
  3. The proposed process to be followed by the employer.
  4. The advantages to employees for participation in the process.
  5. The need for the involvement of all stakeholders in order to promote positive outcomes.

Section 7.11 ~  Communication of the EE Plan must be informed by a communication strategy. 
 

The above is also confirmed in the Dept of Labour Basic Guide to Employment Equity Consultations :  Informing Workers ~ ALL WORKERS MUST BE INFORMED
 

The Employer must retain attendance registers as proof of awareness / training sessions.
