Dear Reader

Picture this scenario...

The economy’s in a shambles, your previously very-profitable business has taken a HUGE knock, you’ve tried everything to keep your head above water...but the only option you have now is to retrench 17 employees.

You consult with them and go ahead with the retrenchment. You’re confident you’ve followed the proper procedure, but they refer an unfair dismissal dispute to the CCMA...you know they should’ve gone straight to the Labour Court...but...

Your employees will realise and you’ll have to go to the LC too

...you decide to keep quiet. After all it’ll just waste more time and money.

The CCMA arbitrator finds in your favour and you breathe a sigh of relief.

Then your employees catch on. They find out they should’ve gone to the Labour Court and they do.  You’re not off the hook yet!

You can’t afford to defend your case twice!

Can you really afford to pay for the process again...just when you’re trying to save money? Find out when the CCMA has jurisdiction to hear a case in chapter C22 of your new update. It’s on its way to you as we speak.

Until next month...
