INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN
CONTRIBUTORS internal resources away from matters that are more pertinent to the business , such as critical operational issues that might require attention .
Thus , there is much value in partnering with a temporary employment services ( TES ) provider that can step in and manage these processes on behalf of an employer , freeing up the business to focus on its core functions and other more strategic matters .
Typically , a TES provider would deliver services such as managing the employee fund benefits , managing the relationships with trade unions and employee organisations and assisting in the resolution of labour disputes , while ensuring the business remains compliant with bargaining council regulations .
Essentially , a TES provider will also manage the administrative functions that pertain to dealing with a bargaining council , such as the handling of dispute levies , bargaining council levies and provident funds . The TES provider will ensure that the correct deductions are made and that they are paid over to the bargaining council and administrated correctly . Taking over these administrative functions can take a lot of pressure off an employer .
VALUE
The fact is that if businesses truly understood the risks associated with not handling a bargaining council engagement properly , they would realise the full value of the services that a TES provider can bring to the table . The risk of non-compliance not only compromises the employer-employee relationship , but also potentially exposes a business to harsh penalties and fines and could even result in criminal charges being instituted against the employer .
A TES provider can ensure that the process runs expertly , smoothly and without risk , since risks in the workplace can be detrimental to a business . Ensuring that an organisation remains compliant can help avoid a strike , downing of tools , or fines from the Department of Labour , as well as occupational health and safety fines , to mention a few . Facing any one of these risks could result in a loss of business and could also damage the business ’ s reputation in the industry .
While being compliant with bargaining council terms and conditions is critical , the management of this engagement can be extremely time consuming and complicated . A TES provider can relieve a business from having to manage the relationship with their bargaining council , while giving the employer peace of mind that all matters will be expertly handled and fully compliant with the specific requirements .
