- Description
- The publication of this Green Paper is the first step taken by the Department of Labour in developing new legislation to regulate minimum employment standards in South Africa. The Department believes that the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) 3 of 1933 and the Wage Act 5 of 1957 should be revised and replaced by a single law regulating statutory employment standards. This is needed to meet the country's social, political and economic goals as reflected in the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) and adopted by the Government of National Unity. The purpose of the Green Paper is to promote a debate on the development of the law. It contains proposals and options for discussion. It also briefly describes important aspects of these Acts for people who may not be familiar with their contents. The Green Paper has been prepared by the Directorate: Minimum Standards of the Department of Labour which is responsible for enforcing the BCEA and the Wage Act. It does not represent an official government view. It has not been endorsed by the Cabinet. It awaits the outcome on certain issues of the Report of the Comprehensive Labour Market Commission. The Green Paper will be submitted to the social partners in the National Economic Development and Labour Advisory Council (NEDLAC) for consideration. It is published to obtain public comment and will be circulated to other government agencies to obtain their views. The Green Paper concentrates on the principles that will form the basis for the development of the new legislation. It draws the attention of the public and the social partners to aspects of the existing laws that often do not receive adequate attention.
