On 3 December 2025 the Minister of Employment and Labour declared that, in terms of Section 31 of the Labour Relations Act 1995, the Collective Agreement is binding on the parties to the agreement and, in terms of Section 32(2), will also be binding on the other employees and employers in the industry.
What this means in the Motor Industry
This means that the Administrative Collective Agreement is binding on all employees and employers in the Motor Industry and that, without exemptions being applied for, the Collective Agreement is applicable and enforceable.
The above has an impact on the following:
- Provident Fund Compliance
- New Earning Thresholds
- Operation and Definition Updates
- Leave and Social Welfare
- Allowance and Deductions
Employers in the Motor Industry are encouraged to ensure they comply with the Collective Agreement, and our office should be contacted for further assistance.
