The Department of Employment and Labour’s Igcuwa (Butterworth) Labour Centre this week moved to new premises.

The long-awaited move has been overdue as the labour centre was renting a building in a secluded area of Butterworth which was not easily accessible to the public. The new building which is 100 % disability friendly and compliant in terms Occupational Health and Safety standards was handed over by Department of Public Works in August 2021.

The address for the new premises is Erf 9369, Corner Blyth & Robinson Street, Igcuwa (Butterworth).

The Department of Employment and Labour remains committed in providing all its services; such as Inspection and Enforcement Services which has inspectors who are responsible for enforcing compliance with labour legislation, Public Employment Services which assist work seekers with employment opportunities, Unemployment Insurance Fund responsible for UIF claims and Compensation Fund, a unit that assists with injuries on duty.
