Overview of Performance of the Northern Cape Chamber for the 2023/24 Financial Year

Post Provisioning Norms and Standards: The post-provisioning norms and standards process was initiated with a workshop, held over two sessions on 2 May 2023 and 1 June 2023. The importance of capturing data on the South African Schools Administration and Management System (SA-SAMS) was emphasised. The credibility of information determines efficiency, and if data is not captured correctly, inefficiency will result. The budget was divided into an 80/20 ratio, with 80% allocated to employee compensation. Establishments were determined with available funds, aiming to distribute the post basket equally among public schools in the province. Labour indicated that the Personnel Administrative Measures (PAM) provided a three-year cycle to amend staff establishments. They inquired why the Employer was conducting the process yearly. The Employer responded that provinces were allowed to amend annually or every three years. The current process was agreed upon by the Parties in the Chamber. Changes could be made during the three-year cycle, as required. The appeals process provided the mechanism for changes in schools.
