The farm failed to comply with labour laws because the pay slips were not of required standard; they had no hourly rates, no overtime and no UIF registration number. There were several errors on the contracts and the first-aid box only had glucose in it. Therefore a notice was issued requiring the farm to improve on all shortcomings. Workers also reported that they had to pay for safety shoes and uniforms as the farmer did not provide any tools or uniforms. The farm was given 30 days to evacuate all workers living in the containers to more suitable accommodation. Although the farmer reported that the Department's inspection was last conducted in 2011, the farmer was still not complying with regulations.
