Frequently
Asked Questions
What is the EE-Quick Employment Equity Calculator?
The EE-Quick Employment Equity Calculator is a free, Excel-based tool from the BEE Chamber that shows a business its Employment Equity targets under the amended regulations. As the user enters their workforce data, the calculator converts it into the applicable sectoral numerical targets and gives an immediate view of where the business stands.
How does the Employment Equity Calculator work?
The BEE Chamber Employment Equity Calculator works on a simple data-entry basis. The user enters their workforce information into the Excel tool, and it calculates the sectoral numerical targets that apply to their business and shows the result straight away, with no cost and nothing to install.
Who should use the Employment Equity Calculator?
The Employment Equity Calculator is designed for designated employers, meaning South African businesses with 50 or more employees. These are the employers that must set and work towards Employment Equity targets under the amended Act, so the tool helps them see what those targets look like for their own workforce.
What are sectoral numerical targets?
Sectoral numerical targets are five-year Employment Equity goals set by the Minister of Employment and Labour for each sector. They define the level of representation expected across the senior, professional, and skilled occupational levels. The BEE Chamber Employment Equity Calculator measures a business's current workforce against the targets that apply to its sector.
Is the Employment Equity Calculator free?
Yes. The EE-Quick Employment Equity Calculator from the BEE Chamber is completely free. There is no cost to download or use it, and it is sent directly to the user's inbox after a short form is completed.
What do I need to use the calculator?
To use the BEE Chamber Employment Equity Calculator, a business needs its workforce data, broadly the number of employees by occupational level and designated group, and a spreadsheet program that opens Excel files. No specialist software or prior Employment Equity experience is required.
Does the calculator make my business EE compliant?
No. The EE-Quick Employment Equity Calculator shows a business what its targets are and where the gaps sit, but it does not on its own make the business compliant. Full compliance still requires a formal Employment Equity plan, accurate reporting to the Department of Employment and Labour, and ongoing monitoring, which the BEE Chamber can support separately
Why do my Employment Equity targets matter?
Employment Equity targets matter because designated employers are measured against them under the amended Act, and a Certificate of Compliance is now required to do business with the state. Knowing the targets early, which the BEE Chamber Employment Equity Calculator makes possible, helps a business plan ahead and lower the risk of non-compliance.
