Labour Law Consulting
Unfortunately, going to the CCMA is something every employer may have to face and be prepared for. The current legislation surrounding dismissals and labour law in general can be cumbersome and complicated to navigate.

The Act requires dismissals to be substantively and procedurally correct in order to be deemed fair. A simple clean-cut dismissal can leave a bad taste when the ex-employee approaches the CCMA. The CCMA can be a daunting situation with probably outcome awards of up-to 12 months of the ex-employees’ salary
