Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town – The ANC has dismissed claims that its staff audit is an effort to sniff out ghost workers.<\/p>\n

The party\u2019s general manager F\u00e9b\u00e9 Potgieter on Monday indicated that the party was in the process of completing its fourth audit.<\/p>\n

The audit process is something that\u2019s done every seven to 10 years.<\/p>\n

ANC staff had until Monday to submit their job titles to Luthuli House.<\/p>\n

The process for the submission of the current titles started in 2019 but was disrupted by Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t believe we have ghost workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe staff audit is done every seven to 10 years because that\u2019s around the time that we tend to look at if there\u2019s a need in adapting our organisational structure. Over the last 27 years, we\u2019ve done three staff audits so this will be the fourth time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The submissions were done either online or via email.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in the process, as per 54th conference resolutions, of reviewing the ANC administrative structures and policies, with a view to modernise and sustainability. This process started in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, Covid-19 interrupted, resulting in new challenges as well as opportunities, especially the use of technology. The staff audit is part of that process, focusing on employees\u2019 core skills, but also how remote work and use of technology have impacted on job descriptions, tools of trade, working conditions and hours, etc.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur deadline was Monday, so we will know by the end of the week what the status of the staff audits are. Our office will update which have been received and those which have not been received.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the audit had been completed, Potgieter said it would allow for an aspect of informing the revised policies (for example, training and development, salary grading) and organograms.<\/p>\n

On the issue of unpaid salaries of ANC staff, Potgieter shared what the way forward will be.<\/p>\n

Employees held a picket on June 15 following repeated challenges of late salary payments as a result of cash flow problems. In the build-up to the downing of tools, ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe said: \u201cAlthough staff were informed that officials are attending to the ANC cash flow challenges, the feeling of grievance around their conditions of employment has reached a critical point. Elected ANC officials at all levels will be organised to receive staff memorandum,\u201d said Mabe.<\/p>\n

The picket came after staff members were informed in April that their salaries would be late. As previously reported, the party said the problem of late payment would continue for the next three to six months due to ongoing financial problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were specific issues that staff raised so what we, as the administration, will do is sit down with the staff representative committee to go through the issues because some are straightforward, while others need negotiations,\u201d said Potgieter.<\/p>\n
