04 December - Labour

Today we spoke to Advocate Lynette Myburgh – from work in solutions. We were talking about Bonuses. Yep it’s that time of the year when workers are crossing their fingers hoping for big bonuses for Christmas especially now as we face financial crisis. According to Labour expert there is no law that forces the employer to pay out any sort of bonuses. It is entirely up to the employer to decide whether he wishes to pay bonuses or not. Advocate Myburgh explained more about the issue of bonuses. For more information visit www.workinsolutions.co.za or call (021) 465 3500.
We also heard from Roger Brown – an attorney at Labour protect. We were talking about a very interesting topic. When does an applicant become an employee? According to an article published on IOL, The courts have found that an employee is considered to be fully employed and therefore protected under labour law legislation from the moment the employment contract is concluded. Even if the employee has not yet actually started work. This applies even if nothing has been put into writing or signed, and the contract of employment has only been verbally agreed between the two parties. Mr Brown explained more how to define an employee and when one is considered an employee. For more information on Labour protect contact (021) 421 8631 or visit www.labourprotect.co.za

At Silulo they help you to better understand computers and how you can use them in order to be prepared for the job market. The courses last three or six months.

Rudy van Dieman, who has partnered with Angels South Africa, an organisation based in Colorado Park, Mitchells Plain, will summit Table Mountain 365 times in 2022, to raise funds for building a community orphanage. Angels SA wants to purchase a house that will become a safe house for children. ‘’Farieda Moses, [Founder of AngelsSA] has been a role model to me since I knew her. She took us on a camp and we stayed in contact after that ,and we done various charity work together. Just her will, and her strength that I see in her - she wants to make such a big change, but don’t have the necessary tools, so it will take years to fund her dream, and I came up with the crazy idea to give it a year and do my part to raise those funds and build that house,’’ said van Dieman.

Winter having an effect on Bloodstocks

Image
The Western Cape Blood Service (WCBS) is appealing to all donors to donate blood as blood stocks are critically low. “The winter is having a severe effect on our bloodstocks and we are amidst a severe blood stock shortage”, says Marike Carli, Public Relations Manager at WCBS. There is a critical shortage in the O and B blood groups, with only a 2-day supply left. The A-positive blood stocks are also under severe pressure as only a 3-day supply is left. WCBS always aim to have a blood stock level of 5 days. The winter weather is not conducive to going out, and with the continuing storms in Cape Town, they are seeing the effects on their blood stocks. Blood donors suffer from colds and flu during this time and can subsequently not donate blood – up until the resolution of their symptoms .
