Services

Straightforward support
where it matters most.

Practical, legally grounded HR and compliance services — aligned to the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, WIETA, SIZA, and all relevant South African legislation.

01
HR Compliance Templates & Toolkits

Many small businesses treat HR much as they treat their finances — reactive rather than proactive. When day-to-day pressures build up and the basics are neglected, the consequences can be costly. We provide customised HR templates and toolkits so your documentation is always in order.

We begin with a free HR Audit instrument to identify the gaps within your HR space, so you can avoid costly mistakes and fines for non-compliance before they arise.

  • Free HR compliance audit and gap identification
  • Customised HR policy and procedure templates
  • Employment contract templates (permanent, fixed-term, seasonal)
  • Disciplinary codes and grievance procedures
  • Leave management and attendance documentation
  • Onboarding and offboarding frameworks
  • HR record-keeping systems and document management

  • Job evaluations using Paterson grading methodology
  • Salary benchmarking against South African market data
  • Pay structure and salary band design
  • CTC structuring and total reward modelling
  • Incentive and variable pay framework design

ESG & Responsible Business

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are increasingly important for wineries and agricultural businesses — whether for export market access, investor reporting, or ethical trade certification.

  • Social compliance audits and reporting (BSCI, SMETA)
  • Fair labour practice and living wage assessments
