Hi I am Danchwa Cloete, Human Resources & Skills Development Practitioner with well over 10 years experience in the field. I am humbled by your visit and look forward to partnering with you. I hold a National Diploma in Human Resources Management from Cape Peninsula University of Technology and an Occupational Certificate in Education, Training and Development Practices from ETDP -SETA. As founder of Empowerment People Services, a HR and Training Provider, I specialize in offering Skills Development Solutions for SMME's. All companies with a payroll of R500 000.00 and above are obligated to pay a Skills Development Levy (SDL) to the South African Revenue Service (SARS). This is legislated, compulsory payment of 1% of the total payroll. However, companies can get 20% of their Skills Development Levy back simply by completing an annual training report ( which specifies which company training was done in the past year) and a workplace plan ( which sets out the training they are planning to do for the following year). Once approved by the relevant SETA, companies get a large portion of their contributions back, paid into their account in four tranche payments. The balance of the money can be assessed through the submission of discretionary grant funding applications when the funding windows are advertised by SETA.
