For the Management Control element, sufficient evidence is required to prove that the individuals being claimed as employees of the measured entity (from Directors to Unskilled employees) are genuinely in the employment of the company. This element is measured as at the time of verification, meaning the people listed on the claim should still be with the company when the audit takes place. Below is the list of documentation to be submitted as supporting evidence:

• COR39 to confirm the directors listed on the company’s board.
• Minutes of Board Meetings. The minutes will reflect the involvement of Directors claimed to be partaking in the strategic and daily management of the business.
• EEA2 & EEA4 Reports submitted to the Department of Labour. These documents will give an indication of headcount on different management levels, as well as the income differentials for the levels, respectively.
• EEA1 Forms completed by employees. This is a formal declaration of each employee in terms of their personal status, including their disability status.
• Medical Certificate for employees living with a disability.
• Company Job Grading which indicates the allocation of occupational positions to the relevant management levels.
• Latest Payroll. The latest payroll will confirm the number of people currently employed and the salary costs for each employee.
• Salary Slips for the sampled employees. The slips are used to be matched to the payroll and confirm employees’ income.
• Employment Contracts for the sampled employees. These documents confirm the occupation and roles of the employees in their different management levels.
• ID Copies of the sampled employees. The ID copies are used to confirm the personal details of the individuals.

P.S. This document serves only as a guide of the most commonly requested documents.  Certain verification agencies may require more or less information.
