POPIA Compliant
Verified just now
What is compliance, and why does my business need it?
Compliance simply means your business's policies and documents meet what South African law requires, so you avoid fines, labour disputes and lost contracts. A handful of core Acts set the rules:
POPIA
Protection of Personal Information Act
How you collect, store and protect people’s personal data.
BCEA
Basic Conditions of Employment Act
The minimum terms for your staff: hours, leave, pay and contracts.
LRA
Labour Relations Act
Fair discipline and dismissal: how to let someone go correctly.
EEA
Employment Equity Act
Fair, non-discriminatory hiring and workplace equity plans.
OHSA
Occupational Health & Safety Act
Keeping your workplace safe for employees and visitors.
Miss these and the consequences are real. Here's what's at stake, and how LegiCheck fixes it ↓

Compliance means your business's policies, contracts and documents meet what South African law requires. A handful of core Acts set the rules, for example POPIA (how you handle personal information), the BCEA (basic employment terms like hours, leave and pay), the LRA (fair discipline and dismissal), the Employment Equity Act (fair, non-discriminatory hiring) and the OHS Act (workplace safety).
If your documents don't meet these requirements you risk fines (up to R10 million under POPIA), CCMA awards for unfair dismissal, loss of B-BBEE status and tenders, and reputational damage. LegiCheck helps you find out which documents you need, check the ones you have against current legislation, and generate compliant ones in minutes.
