10 Section 10: Status of Sector Codes 1.Every organ of state and public entity must apply relevant code of good practice in: – issuing of licenses, concessions – developing and implementing a preferential procurement policy; – determining qualification criteria for the sale of state-owned enterprises; – developing criteria for entering into PPPs – awarding of incentives, grants, and investment schemes in support of broad-based black economic empowerment. 2.An enterprise operating in a sector with a S9(1) Code may only be measured in accordance with that code 3.An enterprise must report annually on their compliance to the Sector Council.

11 Section 1: Fronting Practice means a transaction, arrangement or conduct that directly or indirectly undermines or frustrates the achievement of the objectives of this Act; includes black persons discouraged or inhibited from substantially participating in the core activities; economic benefits received as a result of the BEE status do not flow to black people in the ratio specified; legal relationship with a black person to achieve a certain BEE level without granting commensurate economic benefits expected; an agreement with another enterprise to achieve enhanced B-BBEE status in circumstances in which – – significant limitations on identity of suppliers, service providers, clients or customers; – maintenance of business operations that are improbable having regard to resources; – terms and conditions not negotiated at arm’s length on a fair and reasonable basis;

12 Section 20: Offences and Penalties A person is guilty of an offence if that person knowingly misrepresents or attempts to misrepresent the B-BBEE status of an enterprise; provides false information to Verification professional / any organ of state. A BEE Verification professional or any procurement officer or other official of an organ of state or public entity who becomes aware of fronting and fails to report is guilty of an offence. Any person convicted of an offence is liable to a fine or imprisonment for a period not exceeding 10 years or both; in the case of an enterprise, to a fine of 10% of annual turnover. Any person and/or entity convicted of an offence shall be banned from transacting with any public entity, and shall be entered into the National Treasury register of tender defaulters.

13 04 NEW BEE CODES

14 Key principles Substance over form Compliance measured “at the Date of Measurement” Any misrepresentation OR attempt = fronting Any initiative to split, separate, divide to qualify as EME, QSE or Start-up = fronting

15 Application of the Codes 3.1.1 All Organs of State and Public Entities are measureable 3.1.2 All Measured Entities that undertake any economic activity with any organ of state or public entity are measureable

16 Priority elements Ownership Sub-minimum = 40% of Net Value points =3.2 points Skills Development (SD) Sub-minimum = 40% of total weighting points=8 points Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) Sub-minimum = 40% of EACH of categories=16 points Generics must comply with all 3 priority elements QSE must comply with ownership + 1 priority element

17 Application of the new Codes  Transitional period exists until 30 April 2015  All sector Codes must be aligned by this time  An entity may elect to be measured on amended Codes of Good Practice or on existing Codes of Good Practice during the transitional period  An entity operating under a Sector Code must apply that code until 30 April 2015 – thereafter the Generic Codes if the Sector Code has not been aligned

25 MANAGEMENT CONTROL

26 Management Control MANAGEMENT CONTROL = MANAGEMENT CONTROL + EMPLOYMENT EQUITY Aligned to the EE Act (targets, reporting and definitions) Must use current payroll data Must apply sub-race group demographics for SM, MM, JM (not to Board / Executives or Disabled) The description of each of the measurement categories is aligned with the EE Act Adjusted recognition for gender collapsed into specific targets for women

27 Management ControlGeneric PointsGeneric Targets 2.1 Board Participation 2.1.1 Exercisable voting rights of black board members250% 2.1.2 Exercisable voting rights of black female board members125% 2.1.3 Exercisable voting rights of black executive directors250% 2.1.4 Exercisable voting rights of black female executive directors125% 2.2 Executive Management 2.2.1 Black Executive Management260% 2.2.2 Black Female Executive Management130%

29 Other changes in Management Control Definitions for Senior Top and Other Top removed Executive management defined: CEO, COO, CFO Other Executive management defined: HR, Transformation and others If an entity does not distinguish between Executive Management and Senior Management, then: -Measure Executive and Senior out of 6 points -Apply the Executive Management target -(Avoid the sub-race group classification?)

30 SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

31 General Principles Contribute to country’s economic and social development goals by developing skills that enrich decent work and sustainable livelihoods Promote development of industrial skills base in critical sectors (production and value adding manufacturing that are labour intensive) Support ‘Professional, Vocational, Technical and Academic Learning’ programmes through work integrated learning (apprenticeships, learnerships, internships, PP) Strengthen skills and human resource base to support employment creation

32 Skills Development requirements WSP, ATR and Pivotal Report which are SETA approved Implementation of Priority Skills Programme Claim external training spend on unemployed Trainee tracking tool for ‘absorption’ Skills spend & Learnerships use demographic representation of black people (not for disabled or absorption) For scoring purposes the targets should be further broken down into the race sub groups as defined in the EE Act. Threshold requirement: -The measured entity must achieve a sub-minimum of 40% of the target

33 Skills Development Weighting Points Compliance Targets 2.1.1 Skills Development Expenditure on any program specified in the Learning Programme Matrix for black people as a percentage of Leviable Amount 2.1.1.1 Skills Development Expenditure on Learning Programmes specified in the Learning Programme Matrix for black people as a percentage of Leviable Amount 86% 2.1.1.2 Skills Development Expenditure on Learning Programmes specified in the Learning Programme Matrix for black people with disabilities as a percentage of Leviable Amount 40.3% 2.1.2 Learnerships, Apprenticeships and Internships: 2.1.2.1 Number of black people participating in Learnerships, Apprenticeships and Internships as a percentage of total employees 42.5% 2.1.2.2 Number of unemployed black people participating in Learnerships, Apprenticeships and Internships as a percentage of total employees 4 2.5% Total20 BONUS POINTS 2.1.3 Number of learners absorbed by the Measured Entity and industry at the end of the learnership program 5100% BEP’s SD target spend = 1,5% + 0,3% = 1,8% BEP’s target = 1,5%

34 Other changes Category F + G treated as informal = limited to 15% of total spend Accommodation, travel, catering, administration = limited to 15% of total spend Mandatory sectoral training does not count: -Health and safety, First Aid? Fire? Training outside SA must meet SAQA recognition to count Measured entity no longer gets: -1.25 enhancement of ABET Salaries or Wages of employees still count if Learnership, Internship or Apprenticeship (B,C or D)

35 Score maximum BEE points Skills Development SETA accredited learnerships, internships for abled and disabled learners to ensure maximum points for each sub- element. SCORE 20+5 points Enterprise Development Skills provider is black owned supplier providing for ESD contributions. Spending 2% of NPAT secures maximum points. SCORE 10 points Employment Equity Training of PWD learners at 2% of total number of employees secures maximum points. SCORE 2 points

36 Maximum Tax benefits S 11(a) deduction All spend is fully deductible for normal tax. Tax saving = 28% S12H learnership rebate Disabled learners qualify for R100,000 tax rebate per learner per annum Abled learners qualify for R60,000 tax rebate per learner per annum Tax saving = R28,000 (disabled) R16,800 (abled) Youth wage subsidy Up to 50% of learner stipends are deductible as a special subsidy. For learners paid R2,000 per month this results in a R1,000 per month tax subsidy on your PAYE Tax saving = 50% of stipend

37 Minimum net cost of learnerships Learnership cost Course = R30,000 Sourcing = R1,500 RA = R4,500 Stipend = R24,000 Total = R60,000 Per learner per annum (RA = reasonable accommodation for disabled learners) Tax saving S11(a) = R16,800 S12H = R28,000 YWS = R12,000 Total = R56,800 Per learner per annum Net cost PWD = R3,200 SETA grants Claim 20% of the mandatory grant back from the SETA Qualify to claim discretionary grant back from the SETA
