Another topic I hear and read a lot about is corruption. It seems to be endemic, but there are people who speak up about illegal activities. You must know what to do in terms of the Protected Disclosures Act (PDA) if one of your employees brings suspicious activity to your attention.

Remember I asked for your thoughts on the blogger’s question: Wonder if the minister fell asleep in his bath and had a dream to establish a 1st world idea in a 3rd world country? This was featured in an article about the Labour Minister’s enforcement of labour laws with a bite. I thought I should tell you I got a response from the Regional Manager, Modisaotsile Motlhabane, at the DoL!

Have you ever had an employee who simply didn’t come to work for a week? I don’t mean an employee who takes off the odd day here and there because “he’s not feeling well”, but someone who’s at work the one day and then doesn’t arrive again. Judging by the questions I get, this is a problem a number of you have faced. The question is: how do you deal with it? You can’t simply fire him because he could come back and you’d lose at the CCMA.
