  • Sort Out Labour Law Complexity. Focus on Your Business.

    Navigating South Africa's Labour Relations Act (LRA) and Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) can feel overwhelming for busy SMBs. Missteps lead to costly CCMA disputes, decreased productivity, and significant risk. Laboursync removes this burden, providing proactive, expert Industrial Relations (IR) and HR compliance support, making this complex area effortless so you can concentrate on running your business.

    • Proactive Management: Assisting with performance management, counselling, and managing misconduct or incapacity processes fairly and legally.

    • Expert Dispute Resolution: Providing guidance and support through conflict management, CCMA processes, bargaining council interactions, and managing retrenchments or strikes effectively.

    • Ongoing Support: Delivering statutory compliance advice and keeping your frameworks updated as legislation evolves.

    How LabourSync Helps You:

  • Navigate Employment Equity with Confidence.

    Meeting the requirements of South Africa's Employment Equity (EE) Act, including planning, reporting (EEA2/EEA4), and achieving targets, is a significant undertaking for SMBs. Failing to comply carries substantial risks, including hefty fines and reputational damage. EquiSync simplifies this entire process, providing expert guidance and practical support to ensure you meet your obligations effectively and foster a truly diverse workplace.

    What We Do:

    Equisync offers a hands-on, tailored approach to EE compliance. We partner with you to understand your business and implement strategies that are both legally sound and practically achievable:

    • Assessment & Planning: Conducting EE compliance analyses, risk assessments, and assisting with occupational level grading to form the foundation of your strategy.

    • Framework Development: Designing and developing customised EE plans and policies that align with legislative requirements and your business goals.

    • Implementation Support: Facilitating committee consultations, managing legal appointments, and providing staff awareness training to embed equity principles.

    • Reporting & Submissions: Preparing and submitting accurate EE reports (EEA2 & EEA4) efficiently and on time.

    • Ongoing Management: Providing continuous support, legislative updates, annual plan reviews, and assistance during Department of Labour audits.

    How Equisync Helps You (Addressing Pain Points):

    • Simplify Complexity: Demystify the EE Act and reporting requirements with clear guidance and streamlined processes.

    • Ensure Compliance & Avoid Penalties: Meet statutory deadlines and requirements accurately, significantly reducing the risk of non-compliance fines.

    • Save Administrative Time: Offload the time-consuming tasks of data analysis, plan development, committee facilitation, and report submissions.

    • Gain Expert Support: Access knowledgeable specialists for strategic advice, implementation support, and audit assistance.

  • Maximise Your Training Investment. Simplify SETA Compliance.

    Complying with South Africa’s Skills Development Act (SDA), managing Skills Development Levy (SDL) payments, submitting Workplace Skills Plans (WSPs) and Annual Training Reports (ATRs), and navigating SETA requirements can be complex and time-consuming. Many SMBs miss out on valuable grant recoveries due to administrative hurdles. Skillsync streamlines this entire process, ensuring compliance while helping you maximise the return on your training investment and access available grants.

    • Reporting & Audit Readiness: Offering custom reporting, ensuring audit readiness, and advising on tax benefits related to skills development initiatives.

    • Ongoing Support: Providing continuous advice and updates on SETA requirements and skills development best practices.

We made our customers compliance effortless, here’s what they have to say.

“Employment Equity reporting felt like a mountain we couldn't climb correctly on our own. The legislation is complex, and the reporting deadlines were stressful. PeopleSync's Equisync service made the whole process straightforward. Their team guided us through the planning, consultations, and submissions seamlessly. They understand the challenges for SMBs and genuinely simplify the process. Highly recommended."

Lerato Mokoena, Operations Manager, Pretoria

"As a small business, we don't have a dedicated HR department. Trying to manage Labour law, EE, and Skills Development ourselves was impossible and risky. PeopleSync acts as our complete outsourced compliance team. Their tech platform makes things efficient, but it's the dedicated support that truly stands out. Our consultant is proactive, always accessible, and genuinely cares about protecting our business. It feels like having an expert in our corner, making compliance effortless."

Johan van der Merwe, Director, Johannesburg

Dealing with labour relations and the CCMA used to keep me up at night. As a manufacturing business owner, I needed to focus on production, not complex HR issues. Since partnering with PeopleSync for Laboursync, it's been a massive relief. Their team didn't just give advice; they proactively fixed our contract gaps and handle any IR issues expertly. Knowing our compliance is robust and managed by specialists who understand SA law gives us incredible peace of mind.

David Botha, Business Owner, Johannesburg

"We knew we were paying the Skills Development Levy but weren't getting anything back because the WSP/ATR submissions and SETA processes were just too confusing and time-consuming. PeopleSync's Skillsync team sorted it out quickly. They streamlined our submissions using their system and expert knowledge, and we've successfully claimed back grants we didn't even know we were eligible for. It's made a real difference to our training budget."

Fatima Khan, Finance Manager, Gauteng
