In this article the following was clarified:
There have also been references to persons delivering an opinion on the matter from the department verbally. This is meaningless: Unless there is a formal change or formal interpretation released by the department, the EIR as we referenced it is all we have to rely on.
The following document has been published as such an opinion and we thank the Department of Employment and Labour for their clarification and for sharing their opinion(interpretation) to the industry.
