LEGISLATION
The Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) Grant application combined with the Annual Training Report (ATR) Grant application is fixed as a percentage of levies paid by an employer. An employer who makes an application on time and in the proper manner will receive 50% of the total of the levies paid over to SARS in the period 1 April 2006 to March 2007 (2006/07). This grant application has been prepared in terms of Annexure 2, Skills Development Act, 1998, Seta Grant Regulations, Application for Mandatory Grant by Employer [Regulation 6(1)(A)].
The Workplace Skills Planning (WSP) Grant and the Annual Training Report (ATR) Grant are central to skills development system, which is responsive to the economic and social needs of South Africa. The ATR allows employers to monitor the achievement of the skills priorities and skills development objectives that were outlined in the WSP. Where there are variations between the WSP and the ATR, the ATR provides employers and Skills Development Facilitator's (SDF’s) with an opportunity to analyse reasons for non-completion of planned training.
CONFIDENTIALITY
AgriSETA recognises the need for absolute discretion in respect of the information requested in the grant application and employers are assured that all information received will be treated with the highest regard for confidentiality. Information received in the grant applications are aggregated for the purposes of the Sector Skills Plan (SSP), research and strategic directives.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
· If the employer does not claim a mandatory grant by the deadline date, the Seta must immediately (in terms of the relevant regulations) transfer the employer’s unclaimed mandatory grant funds to the discretionary grant fund.
· In terms of the relevant regulations, requests for extensions and late grant submissions will NOT BE ACCEPTED by the Seta. The penalty for submitting mandatory grant applications late is losing the grant in full. The only exception to this is where an application for the WSP is submitted within 6 months of registration in the case of an employer who has registered for the first time in terms of section 5(1) of the Skills Development Levies (SDL) Act.
· A Seta may not pay any grant to an employer who is liable to pay the SDL in terms of section 3(1) of the SDL Act unless the employer:
☼has registered with the Commissioner in terms of the SDL Act
☼has paid the levies directly to the Commissioner in the manner and within the period determined in the SDL Act
☼is up to date with the levy payments to the Commissioner at the time of approval and in respect of the period for which an application is made
☼has submitted a WSP within the timeframes prescribed
☼is registered with AgriSETA and the levy contributions are up-to-date.
· Employers who fail to meet the prescribed criteria will forfeit the grant.
· The WSP and the ATR completed correctly and submitted in the required format.
· The WSP and ATR must be submitted to AgriSETA by no later than 30 JUNE 2006 in terms of the Department of Labour deadline.
· In terms of Section 10(2) of the Grant regulations, a SETA may not pay a Mandatory Grant to an employer unless the employer has submitted a Training Report in respect of the implementation of the previous year’s Workplace Skills Plan. This means that an employer, who has not submitted a WSP in 2005/2006, will not be able to claim a Grant in 2006/2007. They will only qualify for a Grant in 2007/2008 if they have submitted a WSP for 2006/2007, a ATR for 2006/2007 and a WSP for 2007/2008
