Remuneration Association for Educational Institutions
Workshop & 16th AGM
5 – 6 October 2023, East London International Convention Centre, East London, Eastern Cape.
Remuneration and Payroll Management @ Educational Institutions – An Interactive Best Practice Workshop
Workshop Theme
The Remuneration Association for Educational Institutions will again be holding its annual workshop on best practices for payroll administration, remuneration & human resources management for Educational Institutions on Thursday, 5 and Friday, 6 October 2023. The event includes the 16th AGM of RAEI which will be held at the East London International Convention Centre, East London, Eastern Cape.
After the 2-year Covid-19 period, the annual RAEI Workshop was again held last year in September in Pretoria, organised, and sponsored by Peet du Plessis – Sole Proprietorship, t/a Best Practice Forums and Events. As members of RAEI were informed last year, the previous sponsor of this Association, Adapt IT Education, withdrew its involvement during the Covid-19 period and therefore RAEI members mandated Peet du Plessis to continue this role in his personal capacity.
RAEI presents this annual opportunity to its members and potential members to participate in in-depth discussions and workshops on all Payroll, Remuneration and HCM related matters and best practice processes, with a specific focus on the higher education sector, both nationally and internationally.
Who should attend
All staff members from educational institutions who are responsible for the payroll and remuneration functions, as well as other related functions within higher education institutions.
