Labour laws change from time to time. Recently, there have been updates to the Employment Equity Act, meaning a new labour law poster will be needed. However, the government has not yet published an official Government Gazette with the required details.
Why You Should Wait Before Buying a “New” Poster
Some suppliers are already selling “new” labour law posters. But until the Government Gazette is released, there is no official updated version. Any poster being sold as “new” right now is based on guesswork rather than confirmed legal requirements.
Buying a poster now could mean spending money on something incorrect or incomplete. The best option is to wait until the official version is available.
Is the Current Poster Still Valid?
Yes. The Department of Labour must still accept the existing labour law poster until an official update is announced.
Some businesses have reported people claiming to be labour inspectors who say they must buy a new poster right away. In many cases, these are actually labour brokers trying to sell unnecessary posters. If someone makes this claim, check their credentials with the Department of Labour before taking action.
What Should You Do Next?
For now, the best approach is to:
- Keep using the current, legally accepted labour law poster
- Wait for the official Government Gazette before buying a new one
- Be aware of misleading sales tactics and false claims
At Lazer Art & Frame, we provide official, up-to-date labour law posters. As soon as the Government Gazette is released, we will update our posters with the correct information.
