Knowledge to Get Compliance

Sound familiar?
Calculating wages from outdated schedules.
Your payroll administrator is calculating wages from a schedule that hasn't been updated since the previous MIBCO agreement — and no one in the business knows it.
Leave entitlements managed on autopilot.
Your HR manager has been managing leave entitlements the same way for three years. They're confident. They shouldn't be.
The monthly MIBCO Online Returns scramble.
Every time the MIBCO Online Returns deadline comes around, it's a scramble. Someone figures it out just enough to submit, but nobody's certain they're doing it correctly.

KNOWLEDGE GAP ALERT
Learning MIBCO through trial and error.
You've taken on a new payroll or HR staff member and you need them up to speed on MIBCO — fast, correctly, and without expensive mistakes while they learn on the job.
A knowledge problem, not a system problem.
Or maybe you've just come through a MIBCO audit or non-compliance notice, and you've realised that the gap wasn't a system problem, it was a knowledge problem.
Here's what your team doesn't realise until MIBCO is at the door:
The 2025–2028 MIBCO Regulations introduced updated wage schedules, revised leave entitlements, and changes to reporting requirements.
If your team learned MIBCO under a previous agreement or never had formal training at all, there is a real chance they are applying outdated rules to current obligations. The stakes are real. A wage calculation error doesn't stay small. It compounds across every pay cycle until the total back-pay exposure is far more than anyone budgeted for.
The good news is that
this is a knowledge problem.
And knowledge problems
have a clean solution.
"MIBCO was overwhelming. I needed training. The monthly calculations were just too much."
Their MIBCO Workshop gave me a solid understanding of the system and helped me see what I was doing wrong. Now I feel far more confident and capable.

Introducing the
MIBCO Compliance Workshop.
A focused, two-day training programme covering everything your team needs to manage MIBCO compliance accurately from the agreement itself to the online returns system they use every month.
MIBCO Compliance Knowledge (8am – 4pm)
Your team gets a thorough grounding in the 2025–2028 MIBCO Regulations — what it requires, what it means in practice, and how to apply it correctly in your business.
The structure of the MIBCO agreement and which provisions apply to your industry segment
Wage schedules — how to read them, how to apply them, and how to identify the correct grade for each employee
Leave entitlements — annual leave, sick leave, and family responsibility leave under the current agreement
Employment records and documentation requirements
MIBCO levies, sick pay fund contributions, and prescribed deductions — calculated correctly
What MIBCO Inspectors look for — and the mistakes that trigger compliance orders
"Before the workshop, I struggled to calculate weekly and monthly salaries accurately. The MIBCO Online Returns system felt overwhelming. After just two days, everything changed. Now I feel confident handling calculations and online returns. I can do my job without second-guessing myself. It's been a game-changer."

Payroll Administrator, Lumotech
MIBCO Online Returns Systems (8am – 4pm)
Your team works through the MIBCO Online Returns system hands-on — not as theory, but as a live, practical session where they submit, check, and correct returns in real time.
By the end of Day 2, your team won't just understand the system. They'll have used it — correctly, under guidance — so they can replicate it confidently every month going forward.

How to complete monthly returns accurately — step by step
Identifying and correcting common submission errors before they become compliance flags

Elleck Mgiba
Founder & MIBCO Compliance Specialist
20 years in South Africa's motor industry.
Not a generic HR trainer.
Elleck Mgiba has spent two decades working inside the motor industry, not observing it from the outside. He has sat across the table from MIBCO Inspectors, resolved disputes at the DRC, and helped businesses recover from compliance failures that cost them hundreds of thousands in back-pay.
When your team asks a question in this workshop, they're not getting an answer from a slide deck. They're getting it from someone who has handled the exact situation in a real business, under real regulatory pressure, with real consequences on the line.
"Our staff member will just Google it when they need to."
The MIBCO agreement is not a document you can interpret correctly by Googling. The wage schedules, grading structures, and leave provisions require specific contextual knowledge to apply accurately — and applying them incorrectly while believing you're right is exactly how back-pay claims accumulate undetected. Two days of structured training eliminates that risk. Googling doesn't.
"We don't have time to send someone on a two-day training."
One compliance error — a miscalculated wage grade or an incorrect leave entitlement — can trigger a back-pay claim that takes weeks to resolve and costs far more than two days out of the office. The training is an investment of two days now, or a much more expensive problem later. The virtual format also means there's no travel time — your staff member can attend from their own desk.
"Will this be relevant to our specific business?"
Yes. The workshop is built around the 2025–2028 MIBCO Regulations and covers the provisions that apply across motor industry segments — dealerships, workshops, fuel retailers, parts distributors, and more. The on-site format is particularly well suited to businesses that want training conducted in their own environment, on their own systems, with their actual records as context.
"What if my staff member still struggles after the workshop?"
The two-day format is structured specifically to prevent this. Day 1 builds the conceptual foundation so Day 2 practical work lands correctly — not the other way around. One-on-one formats allow your staff member to ask every question they'd be too self-conscious to ask in a group. After the workshop, attendees can also join the ThreeOneSolutions Employers Community for ongoing support and guidance.
Every month you delay is a month of compounding exposure.
MIBCO non-compliance doesn't announce itself. It builds quietly in the wrong wage schedule your payroll administrator has been using since the previous agreement. In the leave entitlement that's been calculated incorrectly for three years. In the grading that's never been checked against the 2025–2028 Main Agreement.
By the time it surfaces at a DRC dispute, a MIBCO inspection, or when a staff member asks a question nobody can answer, the liability is already stacked.
A single back-pay claim can run to tens of thousands of rands. A compliance order compounds across every affected employee, across every affected pay cycle. And the most expensive part? It's almost always traced back to something that could have been corrected in a two-day workshop.

The workshop costs R4,000 per person.
The average back-pay claim costs far more and that's before legal fees, DRC representation, and management time.
