NEW NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE FROM 1 MARCH 2025   The Minister of Employment and Labour has by Notice (No. R 5830) in the Government Gazette (No. 52053 dated 4 February 2025) amended the National Minimum Wage from R27.58 per hour to R28.79 per hour , with effect from 1 March 2025 . The amounts applicable to Learners have also been amended.   NMW - GG 52053- 4-02-2025.pdf   The Wage Schedules  (Annexure H of the Main Collective Agreement) are being revised and will be posted on the Council’s website.   The minimum wage and learnership allowances prescribed by the National Minimum Wage Commission are adhered to as a basis for the calculation of the prescribed minimum wages in the Wage Schedules. However, it must be noted that the employer portion of the Pension Fund contribution is also factored into the calculations.

However, the hourly rate calculation plus the value of the employer portion of the Pension Fund contribution cannot be less than the NMW prescribed by the NMW Commission. The inclusion of the Employer’s portion of Pension Fund contributions is guided by the findings of the Labour Appeal Court in Quantum Foods (Pty) Ltd v Commissioner H Jacobs N.O. and Others (2024) 45 ILJ 71 (LAC) (18 October 2023)     SERVICES SETA: MANDATORY GRANTS: APPLICATIONS   The Services SETA (SSETA) has published a notice advising that the window for submission of applications for the Mandatory Grants refunds  is open from 1 February to 30 April 2025.   The notice provides other useful information regarding assistance offered by SSETA including face-to-face and virtual workshops on the mandatory grants (including Workplace Skills Plans and Annual Training Reports).

Legislative compliance in the Hair and Beauty Industry is essential for ensuring safety, health, and consumer protection while maintaining high professional standards. Here are key areas of legislative compliance that salon owners and operators should be aware of: Consumer Protection Laws Consumer protection laws in South Africa are designed to safeguard the rights of consumers and promote fair trade practices. The main legislation governing consumer rights in South Africa is the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) of 2008. Consumer Rights Right to Equality in the Consumer Market : Consumers have the right to be treated fairly and without discrimination. Right to Privacy : Consumers have the right to privacy, which includes protection against unsolicited marketing and harassment. Right to Choose : Consumers have the right to choose products and services freely and to make informed decisions. Right to Information : Consumers are entitled to receive information that is accurate, clear, and understandable about products and services. Right to Fair and Honest Dealing : Consumers have the right to fair treatment and protection against unfair practices, including misleading advertising and false representations. Right to Fair Value, Good Quality, and Safety : Consumers are entitled to receive goods that are of good quality, safe, and fit for purpose. Unfair Marketing Practices The CPA prohibits misleading advertising and requires that all marketing practices are truthful and not deceptive. Consumers must be provided with all necessary information to make informed purchasing decisions. Consumer Contracts The CPA regulates the terms and conditions of consumer contracts to ensure they are fair and not unjustly favourable to the supplier. Certain clauses in contracts that limit consumer rights may be deemed unfair and therefore unenforceable. Cooling-Off Periods Consumers have the right to cancel certain transactions (like direct marketing) within a specified cooling-off period, typically five business days, without incurring penalties. The Consumer Protection Act and related legislation play a vital role in protecting consumers in South Africa by promoting fair treatment, ensuring safety, and providing mechanisms for redress. Businesses must comply with these laws to foster trust and protect consumer rights while avoiding legal repercussions. For consumers, understanding these rights is essential for making informed choices and seeking remedies when necessary. Truth in Advertising : Salons must ensure that advertising is truthful and not misleading regarding services, products, and pricing. Client Consent : Obtaining informed consent from clients for services, especially for chemical treatments, is essential. This often includes providing clear information about potential risks and aftercare. Here’s an example of a client consent form that can be used in a salon setting. This form is designed to inform clients about the services being provided, potential risks, and their rights while obtaining their consent to proceed.   Important Notes: Tailor the Form : Customise the form based on the specific services offered by your salon and the potential risks associated with those services. Keep Records : Maintain signed consent forms in the client’s file for record-keeping and legal protection. Ensure to comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) Regulations. Review and Update : Regularly review and update the consent form to reflect any changes in services or regulations. Client Consent Form Client Information: • Name: ______________________ • Address: ______________________ • Phone Number: ______________________ • Email Address: ______________________ Service(s) Requested: • Haircut • Hair Colouring • Chemical Treatment (e.g., perm, relaxer) • Waxing • Skin Treatment (e.g., facial) • Other: ______________________ Description of Services: I understand that the services I have requested involve the following procedures: • ________________________________________ • ________________________________________ • ________________________________________ Potential Risks and Side Effects: I acknowledge that the following risks and side effects may be associated with the services: • Hair colouring may cause allergic reactions, skin irritation, or changes in hair texture. • Chemical treatments may lead to hair damage or scalp irritation. • Waxing may cause redness, irritation, or allergic reactions. • Other: _______________________________________________________ Client Acknowledgment: I confirm that I have been informed of the nature of the services and the potential risks involved.

I understand that I have the right to refuse any service at any time and that my consent is voluntary. Client Signature: ______________________ Date: ______________________ Stylist/Technician Name: ______________________ Signature: ______________________ Date: __________________________ Legislative compliance in the Hair and Beauty Industry is not only a legal obligation but also a vital aspect of building trust and ensuring safety for both clients and salon professionals. By adhering to the Consumer Protection Act and other relevant regulations, salon owners can safeguard consumer rights while promoting ethical practices within the industry. Understanding consumer rights, ensuring truthful advertising, and obtaining informed consent are essential practices that contribute to a positive client experience.
