The Event, Technical and Production Services Industry B-BBEE Sector code Scorecard – Part 3

CODE SERIES ETPSI-300 – MEASUREMENT OF SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

This is the ninth article in a series discussing the Event, Technical, and Production Services Industry B-BBEE Sector Code Scorecard.

In this article, we further discuss the basics of Code Series ETPSI-300: MEASUREMENT OF SKILLS DEVELOPMENT and the INDICATORS for “FORMULA 2 and 3”. The formula that explains the measurement method of the criteria in the skills development scorecard is set out in Annexure ETPSI-300(B).

Formula 2

The Skills Development criteria are calculated by following the sub-calculations below.

The measurement criteria targets are broken down according to the relevant EAP statistics i.e. splitting the compliance target and points in proportion to the EAP statistics. The maximum points per race group needs to be adhered to to achieve the outcomes of the code. These calculations will need to be repeated for every race group due to the maximum score for each race group.

The first parameter to be defined is the percentage of black employees in the measured entity for the measurement criteria (Number of black people participating in Learnerships, Apprenticeships, and Internships OR the Number of black unemployed people participating in the learning programme matrix). The formula to calculate this will need to be repeated six times, for each of the six black EAP statistics.

Where:
RG = Race Group
% Black RG = Percentage of black employees in the measured Entity for the specific race group
Number of RG learners = Number of people participating in Learnerships, Apprenticeships, and Internships OR number of unemployed people participating in training specified in the learning programme matrix
Total of all race groups = Total of all employees in the measured entity (AM+AF+CM+CF+IM+IF+WM+WF)

Due to the codes not awarding points for meeting the EAP statistics for the white race groups, the EAP statistics need to be adjusted to exclude the white categories. The following formula shows how this is accomplished:

Where:
ADJ EAP RG = Adjusted EAP for a specific race group
EAP (RG) = AP statistic for the calculated race group
EAP (Sum) = Sum of published EAP statistics for all black race groups (AM+AF+CM+CF+IM+IF)

Since the calculation for each of the race groups needs to be done individually, the compliance target also needs to be split in proportion to the EAP statistics.

Where:
SCT RG = Split Compliance Target for race group
ADJ EAP RG = Adjusted EAP for the race group as calculated above
Compliance target = Compliance Target as specified

The points allocated for the measurement criteria will also be split in proportion to the EAP statistics. The split points for the measurement criteria represent the maximum allowable points for the race groups and must be enforced as such.

The formula for calculating the maximum allowable points is shown below:

𝑀𝐴𝑃 𝐴𝑀 = 𝐴𝐷𝐽 𝐸𝐴𝑃 𝐴𝑀 𝑥 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠
𝑀𝐴𝑃 𝐴𝐹 = 𝐴𝐷𝐽 𝐸𝐴𝑃 𝐴𝐹 𝑥 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠
𝑀𝐴𝑃 𝐶𝑀 = 𝐴𝐷𝐽 𝐸𝐴𝑃 𝐶𝑀 𝑥 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠
𝑀𝐴𝑃 𝐶𝐹 = 𝐴𝐷𝐽 𝐸𝐴𝑃 𝐶𝐹 𝑥 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠
𝑀𝐴𝑃 𝐼𝑀 = 𝐴𝐷𝐽 𝐸𝐴𝑃 𝐼𝑀 𝑥 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠
𝑀𝐴𝑃 𝐼𝐹 = 𝐴𝐷𝐽 𝐸𝐴𝑃 𝐼𝐹 𝑥 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠

Where:

MAP = Maximum allowable points for a race group
Points = Weighting points as specified

The achieved score per race group (Score RG) will be calculated using the above four equations. The formula must be completed for each race group using the four results from above for each race group.

This formula is shown below:

Note that the score per race group may not exceed the maximum allowable points for that race group. The following shows how the total score is calculated:

𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 = 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝐴𝑀 + 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝐴𝐹 + 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝐶𝑀 + 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝐶𝐹 + 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝐼𝑀 + 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝐼F

Formula 3

This equation explains the method of measurement of the criteria.

This concludes the discussion of CODE SERIES ETPSI-300 – MEASUREMENT OF SKILLS DEVELOPMENT. The next article will discuss STATEMENT-400: GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR MEASURING ENTERPRISE AND SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT.
