The purpose of the Employment Equity Deviation Policy is to provide a structured framework for managing and documenting temporary deviations from the company’s approved Employment Equity Plan and numerical goals. This policy ensures that any deviations are justified, non-discriminatory, and aligned with the principles of the Employment Equity Act (No. 55 of 1998), as amended. It supports transparency, accountability, and fair employment practices while accommodating operational requirements or constraints that may affect target achievement.
