One of the amendments to labour broking or part time workers makes provision for temporary employment service (TES) – employees who earn below the threshold (currently R224 080.48 per year) – to be deemed permanent employees of the client after a continuous period of 3 months’ employment. The change comes in the joint and several liability which both the employer and the TES provider (labour broker) take on after the 3 month window period. This means that both the employer as well as the TES provider can be taken to the CCMA if equal treatment is not applied.
