1.0 EPWP incentive background
• EPWP incentive was introduced as part of Phase 2 to further enhance the creation of EPWP Full Time Equivalent work opportunities by Public Bodies ( 1 Full Time Equivalent = 230 Person days ). This was after the realization that NDPW had limited authority in Phase 1 to make Public Bodies meet their targets.
• R4.2 billion was allocated to NDPW over the MTEF ( 9/10 to 11/12) to pay out the incentive to public bodies and this is expected to grow to at least R 5 billion in the 13/14 financial year. R 5.4 Billion has been allocated over the 10/11 MTEF for the EPWP incentive.
• The fiscal incentive was applicable to infrastructure sector and non-state in the 09/10 financial year and has been rolled out to the social and environmental sectors from the 10/11 financial year. 2

2.0 EPWP Fiscal incentive principles• The EPWP incentive is based on paying all public bodies that
create work above a minimum threshold for the EPWP target group an incentive of R50 person day of work created. ( Rural Municipalities have no minimum threshold). For the 10/11 financial year, R 60 will be paid for rural municipalities.
• Eligible public bodies that want to participate in the incentive will enter into an agreement with DPW
• While indicative performance targets and incentive amounts are set for each eligible public body, they will only be able to claim the incentive upon proving that work has been created
• Basis for measuring EPWP performance– Number of FTE’s per million Rand of infrastructure budget,
taking into account the different portfolios of infrastructure and the rate at which each can contribute to employment creation
– Each public body ( apart from rural municipalities) must meet a minimum eligibility threshold before they can start accessing the incentive
– The incentive is not paid out for work created below the eligibility threshold, but is paid for all work created above this threshold

2.0 EPWP Fiscal Incentive cont’d• Eligibility: In order for provinces and municipalities
to become eligible for the incentive they must:• Report to DPW on the EPWP ( 07/08 report used to calculate
incentive amounts for the 09/10 financial year).• Meet minimum employment creation targets based on their
available budgets
• Agreements: Eligible public bodies will enter into agreements with DPW which will specify:• Targets to be met by the public body• Amounts that can be claimed by the public body for reported EPWP
work created• Reporting and verification and audit requirements through the
EPWP Management Information System• EPWP workers may not be paid less than R50 per day
• Appropriation of funds• Eligible public bodies should incorporate the incentive allocation
into their budgeting and planning process but take into account that payment by DPW will occur quarterly, after employment has been created 5
6
3.0 Fiscal incentive for Provinces• The average Full Time Equivalent for the different
infrastructure
portfolios ( e.g. Roads, Public Works, Education, Health) was considered in calculating the incentive amounts.
• Full incentive amount = ( FTE Target – FTE minimum threshold)
X 230 X 50.• DORA amount = 75% X Full incentive amount. • 4 Provinces, Western Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo and
Northern Cape did not meet the FTE minimum threshold and were allocated a nominal incentive amount of R 500,000.
• Total Incentive allocation to Provinces is R 151 Million.

4.0 Fiscal incentive to Municipalities
• In order to cater for rural Municipalities in line with
comments from the Select Committee on Finance, the
following considerations have been considered:
- The FTE target for Metros per million rand of expenditure
is 6,
different from 3 considered for other Municipalities.
- The FTE minimum threshold for Rural Municipalities = 0.
- Full incentive = ( FTE Target – FTE minimum threshold) X
230 X 50.
• DORA amount = 50% x Full incentive amount. 8

6.0 Measures put in place to improve performance on EPWP incentive draw down
• Public bodies ( Provincial Departments and Municipalities) are being provided with support to report on EPWP
• A partnership with DBSA through the Siyenza Manje programme has been put in place to support municipalities jointly.
• Training of officials in Municipalities in Labour-intensive methods of construction is being planned with LG-SETA.
• 90 data capturers have been employed in this regard
• Training on reporting is also being done to Public body officials to enable them to report better on EPWP.
