Labour Law

Labour Law Overview

Employees and employers both have rights and obligations under the Labour Relations Act, Basic Conditions of Employment Act, and related legislation. Dismissals must be both substantively and procedurally fair, and unfair dismissal or unfair labour practice disputes may be referred to the CCMA or relevant Bargaining Council.​

Key services:

  • Drafting and reviewing employment contracts and workplace policies.
  • Handling internal disciplinary hearings and advising on procedural fairness.
  • Referrals to and representation at the CCMA and Bargaining Councils, and Labour Court litigation where required.​

Common examples:

  • Representing an employee at the CCMA who alleges unfair dismissal for misconduct.
  • Advising an employer on how to carry out a retrenchment process lawfully to minimise the risk of unfair dismissal claims.
  • Challenging a final written warning or demotion as an unfair labour practice.
