Abstract
South African companies employing 50 or more employees or those with a specified financial turnover, are required to comply with the provisions of the newly introduced Employment Equity Act. Prior to the introduction of the Act, large companies in the country had already introduced strategies of affirmative action to achieve employment equity. This paper highlights some of the strategic and operational concerns surrounding employment equity legislation in South Africa and reviews broad practices of employment equity in Malaysia, India, the USA, Canada, Britain and Zimbabwe. Lessons for the effective implementation of employment equity in South Africa are identified.
