Mandatory grants relate to the basic requirements that a company needs to meet to comply with the Skills Development Act, i.e.: - Confirm registration with SARS as a FoodBev SETA levy paying company
- Complete EMP201 and pay levy contributions to SARS
- Appoint a Skills Development Facilitator (SDF) and submit SDF registration to FoodBev SETA
- Complete and submit mandatory grant application (WSP/ATR) before 30 July
The FoodBev SETA Council has taken a decision to extend the deadline of the Mandatory Grants (WSP/ATR) 2010/11 submission date to 30 July 2010.
This decision was reached based on an in depth evaluation of the possible impact of the 2010 FIFA World-Cup soccer tournament on FoodBev SETA member companies and the FoodBev SETA itself.
- Submit correct banking details by means of cancelled cheque or bank statement to FoodBev SETA before 30 July
- Submit levy payment schedule to FoodBev SETA on a quarterly basis
| Grant value: | 50% of skills levy contribution |
OFO Codes
In February 2005 the Department of Labour introduced an Organising Framework for Occupations (OFO) to align all skills development activities in South Africa. The OFO is a skill-based coded classification system based on a combination of skill level and skill specialisation.
It is important to note that a job and occupation are not the same. An occupation is seen as a set of jobs or specialisations whose main tasks are characterised by such a high degree of similarity that they can be grouped together for the purposes of the classification. The occupations identified in the OFO therefore represent a category that could encompass a number of jobs or specialisations, e.g. the occupation "General Accountant" would also cover the specialisations "Financial Analyst" and "Insolvency Practitioner". The OFO codes are necessary for correct completion of the Workplace Skills Plan, which is in turn an important step in the grant application process.
