  32. Current payment: Slow process on filling of vacancies lead to slow spending in Compensation of Employees. Amount invoiced by DPW on Rental and Leases exceeded what was originally budgeted. Transfers and subsidies: Claims for injuries on duty for civil servants less than anticipated. Unexpected severance packages taken by officials that could not have been foreseen during the 2009 ENE process lead to over expenditure. Capital payments: Delays have been experienced with regard to Capital projects on office buildings for Labour Centres. NB: Under expenditure amounting to R16,3 million from Programme 3: ESDS/HRD was granted a blanket roll-over to the Department of Higher Education and Training as start up capital. 2009/10 Outcome 32

  34. Key challenges facing the DoL How are these being addressed

  35. CHALLENGES35 • 1. Distinct economy patterns – One is advanced and industrialised and well developed with highly skilled people, the other is characterised by high levels of poverty, poor labour standards and informal work relations. • 2. High levels of unemployment – Two-fold crisis: • Unskilled most likely to loose jobs during periods of employment contraction and least likely to be hired. • The youth which constitutes 75% of the unemployed. • 3. Inequalities and unfair discrimination in the work place despite the introduction of progressive labour market policies since 1994. • 4. Changing nature of work to atypical forms of employment such as casual labour, temporary and seasonal work, labour broking, outsourcing and subcontracting. • 5. Domestic and cross border migration: • People from rural areas (mostly unskilled) migrate to urban areas in search of employment. • Economic refugees settled in South Africa hoping to find employment.

  36. CHALLENGES 36 6. The requirement of very specific skills for redress: Insufficient integration between supply and demand of skills is adding to a large number of unemployed graduates. 7. Strengthening labour market institutions and agencies: • Compliance monitoring and enforcement structures (Labour Inspectorate Services, CCMA and Bargaining Councils). • Increasing our capacity to carry out our mandate. • Ensuring efficient and effective system of OHS fully integrated with a system of compensation for occupational injuries and diseases. • Non- compliance breeds unfair competition. • Interventions to mitigate new forms of vulnerability mainly through atypical forms of work. 8. Development and implementation of effective instruments for constant performance monitoring and review of the impact of labour market policies.
