Labour and employment

Fair treatment at work.

Whether you are an employee or an employer, we help resolve workplace disputes fairly and quickly.

Our approach

Workplace disputes are often settled faster at the table than in a hearing room. We advise employees and employers, prepare referrals to the CCMA and bargaining councils, represent you where representation is allowed, and settle matters where both sides are willing.

Labour and employment

What we handle.

01
Unfair dismissal

Advice and referrals when a dismissal was unfair in substance or procedure, under the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995.
02
Unfair labour practices

Disputes about promotion, demotion, suspension, training and benefits.
03
CCMA and bargaining councils

Referrals for conciliation and arbitration, prepared properly and on time.
04
Disciplinary hearings

Advice before a hearing, and representation where the employer’s code allows it.
05
Retrenchments

A fair retrenchment process and correct severance pay, for employees and employers alike.
06
Employment contracts and policies

Contracts and workplace policies drafted or reviewed in line with the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997.

Mediation first

Why mediation works here.

We start at the table because, in these matters, it usually gives the better result.

Time limits matter

Most labour referrals have short deadlines. We make sure yours is not missed.
Both sides benefit

A settlement saves the employer a long process and the employee a long wait.
Process done properly

A fair procedure protects everyone, whichever side you are on.
