TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT SERVICES DIVISION
TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT SERVICES DIVISION
The current Constructional Engineering Association Temporary Employment Services Division (CEA TESD) was established in 1994 as the Labour Broking Division, and it assures compliance and credibility of its members.
The objective of the CEA (TESD) is to represent the interests of employers and employees originally engaged in the steel, structural and mechanical industry and in project management and to set the benchmark for self-regulation of atypical employment relations with professionals in the EPCM market. Throughout the years, it has expanded to multi-discipline sectors such as logistics, retail, and the motor industry. Some TESD members also supply “white collar” professionals such as draughtsmen, engineers, project managers and technicians to the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) industries, mining houses and the manufacturing industry.
IN THE INTERVENING YEARS THE FOUNDING MEMBERS, COMPRISING 8 TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS, HAVE GROWN TO OVER 80 MEMBERS, WHICH INCLUDE MANY OF THE MAJOR TES PROVIDERS.
The Temporary Employment Services Division (TESD) of the CEA (SA) recognized the need to form a body in order to:
Have a platform where this sector of industry has a voice.
Be part of a representative body which will have credibility in the eyes of clients,
contractors, bargaining councils,
trade unions etc.
Improve the image of this sector of industry, which admittedly at that time was very poor and was perceived to operate on the fringes of the law.
TEMPORARY/FLEXIBLE EMPLOYMENT (TERMED AS “ATYPICAL EMPLOYMENT”) HAS BECOME A NORM IN SOUTH AFRICA’S ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT MARKET WHICH IS PROJECT-FOCUSED AND HAS FLUCTUATING REQUIREMENTS.
REASONS WHY COMPANIES USE TES PROVIDERS
To gain access to resources that are not available internally.
To reduce and control operating expenditure.
To keep the headcount to a minimum.
To eliminate the potential threat of labour disputes or additional costs associated with permanently employing staff.
