The Employee Work Experience Certificate is a mandatory document under South African employment law, specifically required by Section 42 of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA). It must be issued to employees upon the termination of their employment, regardless of the reason for separation. The certificate serves as an official record of employment, containing essential information about the employee's tenure, including their period of service, positions held, and primary duties. This document plays a crucial role in the South African labor market, enabling employees to verify their work history for future employment opportunities, visa applications, or other official purposes. The certificate must be factual and objective, avoiding any potentially prejudicial information that could impact the employee's future employment prospects. It forms part of the broader framework of South African labor documentation and must comply with various legislation, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) regarding the handling of personal information.
