These are the documents that employers should check or look out for.
The proposed Employment Services Amendment Bill is putting employers across South Africa under pressure to tighten hiring checks, especially when employing foreign nationals, or risk fines of up to R100,000.
The Bill was introduced in Parliament in late May and forms part of government’s broader crackdown on illegal employment and undocumented workers.
Parliament said it also expands the powers of labour inspectors and increases enforcement across sectors such as hospitality, construction, agriculture, retail and delivery services.
Employers are expected to verify that all employees, particularly foreign nationals, are legally allowed to work in South Africa.
