Dear EMHR User
ETI SEZ Changes - 01 August 2018
Dear Enterprise Management HR Business Partner
The Minister of Finance has designated the following 6 Special Economic Zones in GG 41759 effective 1 August 2018:
- Coega Special Economic Zone
- Dube Tradeport Special Economic Zone
- East London Special Economic Zone
- Maluti-a-Phofung Special Economic Zone
- Richards Bay Special Economic Zone
- Saldanha Bay Special Economic Zone
Please click here for the Government Gazette.
ETI application effective 1 August 2018:
If an employee is employed by an employer operating through a fixed place of business located within a Special Economic Zone (designated by notice by the Minister of Finance in the Gazette) and that employee renders services to that employer mainly within that Special Economic Zone, then the age qualifying criteria (aged from 18 to 29 years old on the last day of the calendar month), will not apply and will be replaced with the approved Special Economic Zone.
Note: All the other qualifying criteria remains the same and will still apply in order to determine if the employee is a qualifying employee for ETI.
System application:
Please note: All customers must integrate this patch; this enhancement will be excluded from the development release patch as it is a changeable table.
Please find the patches for V9 and V12 below.
- V9 (ETISEZ_Table & Heading_V9.zip) Apply to Reference and Child Folders
- V12(ETISEZ_Table & Heading_V12.zip) Apply to Reference and Child Folders
The folder contains two development patches:
- One patch is for miscellaneous table 11674 - Special Economic Zones. Please check that there are no codes other than the ones listed below; if any other codes exist, please delete these before integrating the patch or calculating payslips.
- The second patch is the update for heading ETI_SEZ, which determines whether an employee qualifies for ETI according to age. Where a special economic zone is linked to the employment contract, the age limit will not apply.
