Look No Further For Your Staffing Solutions
Umkhonto Labour Holdings, a fully fledged BBBEE company, is a specialist labour outsourcing company that removes the burden of non-generating activities that plague organisations on an ongoing basis.
Our core offerings, which are especially beneficial to companies that wish to improve performance, reduce costs, increase efficiencies and performance, and refocus their critical resources include:
- Providing temporary, contract, seasonal and scab labour
- Offering specialised recruitment services
- Taking over part of or a complete workforce
- Performing all administration and HR duties and responsibilities
- Offering a complete labour and industrial relations function
The main purpose of our service is three fold:
- We import greater efficiency at a lower cost - thereby enhancing competitive capabilities
- We take away the burden of non-revenue generating activities such as company human resources, administration, payroll and any other related costs such as pension, UIF, Workman’s Compensation and Skills development
- We manage staff more effectively through executing and meeting workplace demands
Other advantages for our clients include not having to carry the threat or costs associated with permanently employing staff, risks associated with unfair dismissal, or any other labour disputes as a consequence of labour legislation; and the fact that we handle employees' pay calculations, wages, all statutory obligations and attend to pay queries.
As a rule, we give preferences to recruiting staff from the local environment in which we operate or where we run a contract. We also recruit staff in accordance with our client’s Employment Equity representation requirements.
Contract Workers
Our short and long term contracts are negotiated and structured to suit our clients trading requirements, as well as to accommodate the peaks and troughs of each business cycle. Benefits associated with providing this kind of service include competitive pricing structures, continuity of supply and service levels and dedicated contract supervisors. In addition to skills, experience and character references, when required, we also perform criminal, credit and qualification checks as well as provide the necessary personal protective equipment and uniforms.

Staff Takeover and Recruitment
Staff Takeover
Taking over an entire or part of an existing staff compliment is a process that we perform. This exercise has been successfully carried out numerous times, with minimal disruption, and without any negative consequences. Read More →
Recruitment
We offer two types of recruitment services:
- Companies have the opportunity of taking over staff member(s) that have been placed on their site and hiring them on a full time basis.
- We source candidates for a particular position within an organisation. This is achieved by advertising, interviewing, conducting the relevant checks, and then setting up interviews for the top candidates and the respective company.
Administration and Human Resources
Handling the administration function of hundreds of workers can be an expensive undertaking. Not only are valuable resources allocated to processing the payroll and performing the HR functions, but the risk of non-adherence to the latest legislation regarding salaries and deductions are increasingly present. Many organisations either don’t have the capacity to hire additional people to perform these functions or would rather outsource this key function to a specialist company. We remove this costly and time consuming burden by performing these tasks on behalf of our clients.
By removing the non-revenue generating activities such as company human resources, administration, payroll and any other related legislative costs and requirements, Umkhonto Labour Holdings frees up our clients’ time so that they can focus on their core business issues, decrease costs and increase performance.
