Step 8 – Exiting

When an employee leaves, they must be handed a Certificate of Service. Additionally, in light of the POPI Act, the Responsible Party (you) must protect the personal information of Data Subjects in your center. To ensure that the PI remains safe and protected it is useful to conduct an exit interview.

Occupational Health and Safety

Even if you employ only one member of staff at your ECD center, then the Occupational Health and Safety Act, No. 85 of 1993 applies.

The Department of Labour does inspections of medium and small businesses and they will call or email to make the appointment. During the visit they will want to see your OHS File and an example of a staff members file.

As always Tools for School has made it easy for you and have all the templates you need to implement this legislation.
