Questions
Is the health check really free?
Yes. You get your score and report at no cost, and a consultant will offer a short call to talk it through. There's no obligation to buy anything.
Is the health check legal advice?
No. It's a self-assessment that points to likely gaps. We confirm the details with you before any recommendation, and refer specialist legal questions to a labour lawyer.
Am I a designated employer for Employment Equity?
Usually if you employ 50 or more people, or if your annual turnover is above the threshold for your sector. If you're not sure, answer “Not sure” in the health check and we'll check for you.
How are your prices worked out?
We scope the work with you first, then send a fixed quote, as a once-off project or monthly support. You'll know the full price before we start.
Do you work outside my province?
Yes. We work with businesses across South Africa, mostly remotely, and on site where the work needs it.
What happens to the information I send?
It's used only to respond to you, and is stored securely in our customer system. Read how in our Privacy Policy.
