To enable ECA (SA) to continue rendering high-quality services to its members, and in order to keep abreast of inflation, it is regretfully necessary to increase the membership annual subscription fee by 10% with effect from 1 July 2024.
The annual subscriptions pro-forma invoices will soon be issued and will be sent electronically to all members. The usual 5% ‘early bird’ payment discount will be granted to those members whose payment is received on or before 31 August 2024. Members whose accounts are still outstanding on 1 September 2024 will not qualify for the early payment discount.
Labour levies
The Labour Levy payable by the employer in respect of each employee, has been increased to R17.49 (inclusive of VAT), effective 1st of June 2024 since the amendment to the ECA(SA) Constitution has been approved by the Department of Employment and Labour.
Benefits of membership
The ECA(SA) offers its members a comprehensive range of services, which include:
- Free representation in labour disputes at the CCMA and Bargaining Council.
- Negotiating conditions of service for scheduled labour.
- Free advice and assistance on contractual, technical, and labour relations matters that affect members’ businesses.
- Discounted training for members’ management and technical staff.
- Discounted CoCs and other documents for members.
- All ECA offices assist members with registrations with the Department of Employment and Labour.
- The ECA’s Guarantee of Workmanship Scheme backs ECA members’ capacity to deliver compliant work and, in the unlikely event that a member delivers work that is short of the statutory standard, the scheme funds any remedial work up to R20 000 (terms and conditions apply).
- A free subscription to the ECA(SA)’s bi-monthly e-newsletter, Wired, and electronic magazine, SA Electrical Contractor delivered to the member’s email address.
