The LRA does not create any membership threshold that employers' organisations must meet to register. Nevertheless, the size of the membership (in terms of number of employers or number of employees employed by them) may be an indication that the employers' organisation is not a genuine employers' organisation. It is legitimate for employers' organisations to restrict their membership to employers in small sectors of the economy.
