This municipalityis made up of four major departments. First is the department of Human Resource that is responsiblefor recruitment, selection, dealing with labour relations, leave applications, administration andensuring that the occupation health and safety of employees is secured.

This has resulted into inaccuracies of report information, time iswasted doing administration work instead of focusing on HR strategic issues, and poor decision makingdue to poor management of records. This issue has resulted into penalties caused by late submissions.and incorrect report submitted to relevant national bodies such as Auditor General. Even the payrollthat is done electronically it is done in the financial department with very little input from the HRdepartment.

Hence why the HR department still performs it task such as filing manually.Files are kept in the cupboards in the municipality office with no backup at all. The management ofthese files is poor as they sometimes get lost, misplaced, left lying on the table while containingconfidential information. Because the municipality HR records is managed electronically it not easy toupdate employees' information such as marital status, address or new qualification or adhering to theemployment equity act when recruiting and developing employees.
