SKILLS DEVELOPMENT LEVY (SDL)

In the event that your business’ salaries, wages and rations amount to more than R500 000 per

year, the South African Revenue Services (SARS) would demand of you to pay 1% of that

amount over to him (i.e...1% of R500 000 = R5 000). Together with a company called ELI, we

can claim that 1% (R2750) back to be utilized for training. The good news is that you may have

already paid SDL money over to SARS who in its turn has paid the bulk of the money over to

the relevant Seta and it’s waiting there to be claimed and used for training. If these moneys

aren’t claimed by you through us or any other accredited training institution and used for

training, then these moneys would be forfeited and a chance to better your workers’ technical

and life skills, would be lost.

EMPLOYMENT EQUITY

Any business that has more than 50 employees or has a turnover of more than R6 million, must

according to law register as an Employment Equity Organisation and certain procedures must

be followed and certain forms must annually be completed. In the event that your organisation

falls in this category, we will be able to complete the Employment Equity process for you.

Cost: R3000 per organisation

WIETA CONSULTANCY

The following are important if you are audited by WIETA.

In preparation for your WIETA audits later this year, it would be good if there was a WIETA

training session. This can be held with all your workers while there are still temporary workers

on the farm. Such a session lasts about 2 hours and can be offered by the farmer himself or it

can be done Murray Mallinson (Malfo training) services at R300 per hour.

Cost: R600 per organisation

workers. The evaluation consists of an orientation session as well as a CSIR (Council for

sheet depicting the trainability of all those that have been tested. With this sheet in hand, the

employer can then assess what training has to be given to whom and keep record of the

implementation thereof.

Time: 2 hours

and skills.

Time: 3 hours Cost: R600 per person Max. Size 8 persons

58. MAKE IT RIGHT (RECONCILIATION)

This course was written in response to requests from farmers to address the tendency of farm

workers to fight, argue and molest and to bring reconciliation between the worker, his/her

family, fellow workers, neighbours and their employer. Discontent leads to vengeance which in

turn leads to the destruction of relationships in the family and the wider community.

We emphasize in this course that everyone should take responsibility for their actions. We show

them how they could have reconciliation, forgiveness and the restoration of their relationships.

This course has had great success in our prisons and it has proved that people could change for

the better. The success of this course has led to the fact that the Correctional Services regards it

has a prerequisite before parole is granted.




59. HEALTHY LIVING

15

It has been found that farm workers in particular and other workers in general have tendency to

lead an unhealthy life style which in turn leads to all types of illnesses such as diabetes,

cardiovascular diseases, obesity and a lot of other disorders.




60. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

This course will help people understand whether they are abused and are victims of

domestic violence and what steps they need to take to get out of that situation. It also deals

with addiction and includes a recovery process for those that have been caught up in any

kind of domestic violence.




GENERAL

From March 2008 all quoted prices will be excluding VAT and VAT would need to be

added. Discount can be negotiated on larger groups.

Travelling costs would only come into effect when the training facility is further than 30 km

or more from Worcester. Costs will be calculated at R3.50 per kilometre return.

Accommodation costs will be calculated on an ad hoc basis

It would be appreciated if training dates could be booked at least a month in advance.

Payment conditions: for all SDL clients payments must be made strictly within 30 days.

For all other clients our conditions are strictly cash with the commencement of training.

Cancellation conditions: Due to the fact that an immense amount of training takes place

within a certain period (the winter months), we suffered quite a few losses due to the fact

that clients would cancel at the last moment. This unfortunate state of affairs has forced us to

implement the following guidelines:

1. The client has to sign a written quotation comprising the following:

2. Any cancellations made within 1 month of the training date, the client will be

invoiced for 75% of the training costs.

3. Any cancellations made within 2 weeks of the training date, the client will be

invoiced for 100% of the training costs.

4. Training bookings must be made either by e-mail or fax.

It would be appreciated if this prospectus would stay with the recipient and not be lent or

given to any other training institution.
