Labour Relations Consulting
Navigating the complexities of Labour Legislation is essential for maintaining a productive and legally compliant workplace. We provide expert guidance to help businesses manage Employee relations effectively, minimise legal risks, and implement fair employment practices. We also provide clients with guidance to effectively manage Employee incapacity matters (i.e. for poor work performance, medical incapacity or incompatibility). Our services cover a range of key labour relations functions, including:
Disciplinary Guidance for Misconduct Matters
We provide step-by-step advice on handling misconduct cases, ensuring that disciplinary action is procedurally and substantively fair. Our guidance helps businesses apply disciplinary measures correctly, reducing the risk of disputes or legal challenges.
Incapacity Processes
Managing incapacity due to medical reasons, incompatibility, or poor performance requires a structured and legally compliant approach. We assist businesses in navigating these processes with sensitivity while ensuring fairness for both Employers and Employees.
Grievance Resolution
Workplace disputes can impact morale and productivity if not handled effectively. We support businesses in facilitating structured grievance procedures, equipping management with the skills to address Employee concerns efficiently and fairly.
Chairing Hearings
To ensure impartiality and compliance, we provide experienced chairpersons for disciplinary and incapacity hearings. Our professional approach ensures that hearings are conducted fairly and in line with legal requirements.
Preparing for CCMA Proceedings
We assist businesses in preparing for all CCMA matters, ensuring that they understand the process, gather the necessary documentation, and are fully prepared to present their case. We also work closely with the Consolidated Employers Organisation (CEO), which represents many of our clients at the CCMA. Contact us for further information or an introduction.
Organisational Restructuring
Restructuring and retrenchment processes must be handled with care to ensure compliance with Section 189 and Section 189(A) of the Labour Relations Act. We provide guidance and facilitation throughout the process, helping businesses manage restructuring in a legally compliant and ethical manner.
Transfer of Employment Contracts
When businesses undergo mergers, acquisitions, or operational changes, the transfer of Employees’ contracts must comply with Section 197 of the Labour Relations Act. We guide employers through the transition, ensuring a smooth process that minimises disruption and risk.
