Labour Law
01
What is Labour Law?
Labour law governs the relationship between employers and employees. It establishes a framework for fair treatment, outlines rights and obligations for both parties, and ensures a harmonious working environment. At Engelsman Magabane Incorporated, our dedicated labour law team possesses the expertise to guide you through all aspects of employer-employee relations, promoting a compliant and productive workplace.
02
South African Law and Labour
South Africa boasts a comprehensive legislative framework for labour law. Key pillars include the Constitution of South Africa, the Labour Relations Act (LRA), the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA), and the Employment Equity Act (EEA). These acts establish minimum employment standards, regulate collective bargaining, and promote equal opportunities in the workplace.
03
The Process of Labour Law
The process for resolving labour law issues depends on the specific nature of the problem. Here’s a general overview:
- Consultation (Optional): In some cases, an internal grievance procedure within the company might be attempted to resolve the issue informally.
- CCMA (Optional): The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA) offers alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services to resolve disputes outside of court.
- Labour Court: If an agreement cannot be reached through ADR, the matter can be taken to the Labour Court for adjudication.
