INTRODUCTION AND
BACKGROUND
– To claim contributions towards skills development a company must;
. comply with the Skills Development Act
. be registered with MICT SETA as an employer
. have developed a Workplace Skills Plan and implemented
programmes targeted at Priority Skills in the Sector.
INTRODUCTION AND
BACKGROUND
–
The purpose of this Gazette is to quantify the Rand value committed by
the ICT Sector on the training of black employees.
–
In 2012, Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr. Rob Davis Gazetted the ICT
Sector Codes of Good Practice (ICT Sector Codes) in terms of section
9(1) of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act (B-BBEE Act,
Act no. 53 of 2003).
–
This Gazette comes after a period of nine years (9) since the First Draft
ICT Charter was released for public comment as part of the Sector’s
commitments to B-BBEE.
–
The ICT Sector Code is binding to all stakeholders operating in the Sector.
–
Skills Development is one of the seven (7) elements of B-BBEE to
promote skills development in the Sector.
OVERVIEW
Oupa Mopaki
Chief Executive Officer
162 000 x 5% =
8 100 Black
Employees
8 100 x R 35k = R 284m
(284m/540m) x 1% = 0,53%
of Leviable Amount
SECTOR SKILLS
DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLE
–
The Skills Development Code defines the Sector’s financial commitment
towards skills development spend on black employees, agreed targets and
how skills development is calculated and measured.
TRAINING OF BLACK EMPLOYEES
–
Black employees are defined as Africans, Indians and Coloureds who are
South African by birth or naturalised before 1996.
SECTOR SKILLS
DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS
–
The Sector committed to spending at least 3% of the total leviable amount
on training black employees every year. This translates to R1.6b.
–
The Sector also committed to spending another 0.3% on disabled black
employees. This translates to R162m.
–
The R1.6b and the R162m, between April 2014-March 2015, are based on
the MICT SETA’s total 1% Skills Development Levy income for period
2012/13 which amounts to R540m.
SECTOR SKILLS
DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS
–
The Sector committed to have the number black employees participating
in Learnerships or Category B, C and D Programmes as 5% of total
employees. This translates to 8 100 black employees based on the total of
162 000 employees in the MICT sector.
–
In order to determine the percentage of Leviable Amount relating to the
training of 8 100 black employees, an average training cost of R 35k per
employee per year is envisaged. The total training cost of R 284m is
assumed to include the employees’ salaries and training providers’ fees
whilst they are undergoing training. The percentage of Leviable Amount
then translates to 0.53% of the 1% of payroll.
–
The total ring-fence should then be R 1.6b + R 160m + R 284m = R 2b
STATUS OF THE CODES ON STATE
OWNED ENTITIES
– In terms of the BEE BILL, state owned entities must take into
account and apply any relevant code of good practice in terms of
the Amended Act in – determining criteria for awarding of
incentives, grants and investments schemes in support of
broad-based black economic empowerment.
– The BEE BILL was submitted to the President in November 2013
to sign into law.
