Feedback on Workplace Skills Plan Submissions 2012- 2013

Submissions Currently 4,396 firms are contributing skills development levies to the FP&M SETA We have received a total of 1,233 WSP/ATRs 907 WSP/ATRs were approved 254 submissions were received from firms currently not registered with FP&M (Seta 10 & Seta 15) The balance of 72 are still being processed.

Challenges Experienced FP&M SETA acknowledges that our MIS had challenges however most submissions were done via the MIS and only a few were submitted in Excel format. Most of the WSP/ATRs submitted via the MIS were incomplete e.g. Employee details Banking details Signatures WSP (planned training) & ATR (implemented training) Firms submitted WSP/ATRs and did not keep a copy SDL numbers were incorrectly captured e.g. Missing digits or spaces in between the digits.

Mandatory Grant Payment Update During the financial year 2012/13, mandatory grants amounting to R33 million was paid out during the first two tranches. This represents 28% of a budgeted R117 million. The breakdown of payments per sub-sector is as follows: PS: Payments include grants due i.to. prior years.
