Verifying hours using manual systems has become an increasing concern for auditors during SIZA audits. In many cases, auditees supply attendance registers that do not adequately indicate the actual time worked for a particular employee.
For answers to questions such as “How do you distinguish between a Temporary Employment Service and an Independent Contractor?” refer to our FAQs here.
A total of 36 audits have been conducted remotely thus far during the COVID-19 pandemic in accordance with the SIZA Remote Audit Procedure. A further 29 audits are scheduled until 30 April 2020.
Due to the nature of this pandemic, everyone needs to manage schedules differently. SIZA is therefore cancelling the upcoming Social auditor training that would have taken place on 13 – 15 May 2020 in the Western Cape.
The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has become an increasingly challenging situation, which has impacted all business operations. SIZA recognises that this is a developing situation, and the protection of people living and working on farms and within agriculture is paramount.
