Retrenchments on the rise

We also heard from Ivan lsraelstam - Chief Executive of Labour Law Management Consulting. We were talking about the rise in retrenchments and the plethora of myths related to it. According to Mr lsraelstam, in the light of increasing workforce cut-backs it is more important now than ever before that employers become aware of the plethora of myths related to retrenchments. The Labour Court recommends that employers train their managements as to the do’s and don’ts of retrenchment and use a reputable labour law expert to advise them before embarking on retrenchments and to carry out the necessary management training.
