Continuation Of Levy Payments To The Meibc Administration And Dispute Resolution Agreements At Current Rates

The MEIBC Registration and Administration Expenses and Dispute Resolution Collective Agreements lapse on 17 April 2026.

This notwithstanding, an application in terms of the Labour Relations Act seeking the extension of these two agreements for a further twelve (12) months has been submitted to the Department of Employment and Labour and is being attended to.

We have received feedback from the DEOL that the extension request will be gazetted shortly but in the interim, companies who are members of an Employers Association affiliated to SEIFSA, must continue to make these deductions at current levels, as set-out below:

Weekly Monthly Weekly Monthly Weekly Monthly
Admin Levy R2.21 R9.57 R2.21 R9.57 R4.42 R19.14 Scheduled Employees

Dispute Resolution Levy

Disp Levy R0.80 R3.46 R0.80 R3.46 R1.60 R6.92 All Employees (scheduled and non-scheduled)

Companies having any queries regarding the above are invited to contact the Staff of the Industrial Relations Department, L Trentini or Ms Khumo Kodisang on (011) 298-9400.

Ends.
