Protect Your Investment with an Expert Labour Law Consultant

Are you currently sitting with a serious workplace dispute that requires urgent assistance? Considering that up to 97% of businesses throughout South Africa lose their workplace disputes, can you really afford to take any chances?

A multifaceted practice, driven by the government to protect workers’ rights and the employer’s profits, labour law is a critical part of running any business. There are many facets of labour law, so much so that many employers often don’t realise how many rules and regulations there are, leading to uncertainty, confusion, and financial loss. With over 18 million employed people in South Africa and with over 100 000 CCMA cases taking place each year, it is important that employers adhere to the following:

• Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA);
• Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA);
• Employment Equity Act (EEA);
• Labour Relations Act (LRA);
• Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA);
• Skills Development Act (SDA);
• Skills Development Levies Act (SDLA);
• Constitution (Bill of Rights); and
• South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) but to name a few.

For employers to master the above, they need the services of an expert labour law consultant.
