Mandatory Grants Claiming Process
Whether you pay R50 or R5 000 per month for Skills Development Levy, you are entitled to get back a portion of the money you have paid in the form of Levy Grants. A simplified form has been developed to make grants more accessible to all companies.
The Services SETA has decided to assist companies by following the procedures indicated and explained below:
1. Companies with 50 or more employees, temporary and permanent employees in total, will complete the Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training Report on the new format found on our website.
Kindly note that disbursement will only be made if the following criteria are met in the submission of the Annual Training Report: (Grant Disbursement for implementation ONLY (ATR) and not for planning (WSP)).
Criteria 1:
If the company submits their WSP and ATR on OR before the deadline, namely 30 June 2010.
Kindly note that as from 2007/2008 financial year there will be no payment for the submission of the Workplace Skills Plan alone.
(Extensions cannot be granted as per Skills Development Regulations – failure to submit by due date will result in funds being swept into SSETA Discretionary account)
Criteria 2:
If the WSP/ATR has been signed off by the following stakeholders:
- Training Committee / Chairperson / Employee Representative.
- Skills Development Facilitator
- C.E.O/ Managing Director/ Owner.
Disbursement Policy against Criteria:
1. Meeting criteria 1 + 2 = 50 %
All training reports must include letters of accreditation in respect of all training providers utilized by the employer for training longer than 5 working days showing that the training provider has been institutionally accredited. They also need to submit proof of expenditure in respect of all training done and it must be submitted with the Annual Training Report. Companies, who do not submit proof of expenditure incurred in respect of the training reported on, could also attach a signed certificate from a registered accountant with the Association of Chartered Accountants stating that:
- The proof of expenditure is correct;
- Relate to the training claimed for in this claim; and that
- The proof of expenditure is available for auditing purposes on request by the Services SETA.
Only companies with 50 OR more employees who have submitted a Workplace Skills Plan / Annual Training Report are entitled to claim the Mandatory Grant.
Once your company has met all the above criteria, your company will be reimbursed on a quarterly basis by the SSETA. Return to Top
