08 November – Labour

Today we spoke to Dahlia Lichtenstein – Labour Law Expert from Bagraims Attorneys. We were talking about unfair dismissals. According to a new Constitutional Ruling, Employers must ensure dismissal is fair. It is reported that Commissioners are now to assess whether a dismissal is fair and employers have to exercise fair and reasonable disciplinary hearings. Michael Bagraim from Bagraims Attorneys will be holding a workshop on November 14th and the workshop will be focusing on dismissals. For more information contact Leigh Oosthuizen on 083 261 1201 or send an email to leigho@telkomsa.net

We also spoke to Peter Human – Director of Labourwise. We were talking about Working Hours. Basic Conditions of Employment laws set maximum working hours and minimum rest and break periods for workers. The law states that workers may not work more than – an average of 45 hours a week. But Mr Human explained more about the basics of working hours. For more information about Labourwise you can contact (021) 852 3499 or visit www.labourwise.co.za
