The best thing to do would be to get a BEE Consultants in to give you some advice- it is fairly complicated. Try BEESA or DRG Siyaya, Kind regards, Claire Hi Dani,

How does a company find out what it needs to have in place in order to go for their BEE scorecard. For example for the employment equity, does each employee have to have their own job description, yearly assessments etc? Does the whole Human Resource structure have to be in place and is there a check list that a company could use to make sure that these things were indeed in place before starting the whole BEE process.

BEE is purely driven by organisation's needing good BEE rating for tenders. Apart from that there are no legal requirements to get a BEE rating. Hi Delene,

Is there a time limit or any penalty for non conformance?

Unfortunately I haven't come across a free BEE Scorecard calculator- it would be fantastic if the Department of Trade and Industry produced one. But having a Qualifying Small Enterprise Scorecard calculated should not cost a lot- the average is about R1,500.

Many thanks. Is there a simple formula that's freely available. I mean does one need to spend a few thousands going to a SEESA or something like that or can one apply internal resources to create a scorecard or cert. Where is your cert from? Can you make it available in a readable format (ie a bit bigger)? I use FF exclusively, I think a beta is just that so the bug may not be with your website. A beta is by definition, buggy. warm regards. Hi,

Most people are using FF2 and variations thereof. We haven't scheduled the time to update it, taking the risk mainly because FF3 is still in Beta. You're a legend for pointing it out - thanks for your support, and your humble opinion is well taken. Love, the Ideate team. Hi Jan Carel, we’re aware of the bug in FF3.

The TV is out of it's intended place floating over the title. Not very professional IMHO. Your website is broken in Firefox… The TV is out of it’s intended place floating over the title.
