Employment equity plan
A workplace plan used by a designated employer to set employment-equity objectives, measures, responsibilities, and timeframes under South African employment-equity law.
Definition
An employment equity plan should be read with workforce analysis, consultation records, numerical goals, affirmative-action measures, reporting duties, recruitment and promotion practices, and any compliance notice or workplace dispute. A plan is not just a policy document; it can become important evidence when appointments, promotions, representation, or discrimination concerns are challenged.
