Permit Template

It has been negotiated and agreed that members self-regulate essential services movement using permits (businesses/employers).
The template has been updated to reflect the one in the regulation as released.

Guideline: for all persons employed or undertaking essential services:

  1. The letter must be an original official letter with letter head (in color)
  2. The full name/’s, Surname, ID number and address of employee
  3. The employer’ s name and address
  4. Business hours of the company, eg from 07:00 till 19:00
  5. Name and contact number of Manager
  6. Original signature of Manager

This letter and ID/Drivers licence (any form of ID with a photo) must always be in possession of the employee/employer.

PLEASE can all members respect and ensure that this self-regulation of permits is not abused.  The template can be adjusted to a situation for eg. travelling from farm to farm or collecting spares etc. The agreed self-regulation is entrusted to members as an essential service,  however abuse could see a different far more stringent, lengthily and impractical system being introduced.
