How to solve all your labour and HR problems for less than R1.90
As if Health and Safety compliance wasn’t expensive enough, you need to keep on top of labour issues too! If you don’t, it could end up costing you.
Do you spend thousands on phone calls to your labour consultant to get answers to your questions? Or spend hours trying to find answers yourself?
Here’s how you can handle labour and HR issues yourself in just a few minutes a month for less than R1.90 a day.
No more wading through countless information sources to keep up-to-date: Labour Watch will do it all for you.
In only 15 minutes a month, you’ll be 100% informed on the latest developments in the world of labour law and human resources.
You could be to blame for swine flu!
Last week we heard about the first conclusive case of swine flu in South Africa (albeit in a child from the USA). It appears to be horribly contagious too!
Here’s a scenario to ponder...
You run a container business, shipping goods to and from the country. One of your employees contracts swine flu while dealing with customs officials from Mexico. Are you responsible?
The answer is yes! Any injury/ailment an employee incurs, while on duty for you, becomes your responsibility.
Whenever you’re not 100% sure where your employee’s responsibility for himself ends, and yours begins, wouldn’t it make it easier to have the answers to these kinds of questions on display for you and him to see?
It’s very simple...I’ll show you how.
In the name of safety,
