Make a Submission

What is the 30-Day Submission Process?

Once Parliament formally publishes the Fair Pay Bill for public comment, a 30-day window opens for any South African — individual or organisation — to submit a written comment. This is your opportunity to tell Parliament directly what you think about the Bill.

Public submissions are a fundamental part of South Africa's democratic and law-making process. Parliament is legally required to consider them before the Bill is passed. Every submission counts — the more voices heard, the stronger the case for fair pay.

How to Make Your Submission

1. Use the official submission template Click the button below to access the submission template on Google Forms. It guides you through exactly what Parliament needs.
2. Share your views in your own words Tell Parliament who you are, how fair pay affects you, and why you support the Bill. Personal stories and experiences are powerful and welcome.
3. Submit before the 30-day deadline Once the window opens on 30 April, submissions must be received within 30 days. Don't leave it to the last minute.
4. Spread the word Share this page with friends, family, colleagues, and community members. The more submissions Parliament receives, the harder it is to ignore.

Why Your Submission Matters

Public participation is not just encouraged in South Africa's law-making — it is a constitutional right. When Parliament receives a high volume of submissions in support of a Bill, it sends a clear and powerful signal that ordinary South Africans are watching and that they care.

The Fair Pay Bill affects millions of workers across every sector. Whether you are an employee, an employer, a student entering the workforce, or someone who has experienced unfair pay — your perspective belongs in this process.

This is your chance to be part of history. Make it count.
