“Incompatibility” isn’t misconduct, but it can still pose a serious risk of incapacity if relationships break down and operations suffer.

The key is that it’s not about personality clashes; employers need objective impact, a fair process, and genuine attempts to resolve issues (like counselling/mediation) before dismissal is even considered.

Fairness is not just a value statement. It is a risk control.

It shows up in everyday decisions around:
• Hiring
• Discipline
• Consultation
• Opportunity
• People management

This is where culture is built. It is also where legal and employee relations risk often starts. The most consistent workplaces are usually the fairest ones.

In SA labour law, anonymous reports should trigger measured enquiry, corroboration, and a focus on workplace risk, not rushed discipline. Any action must still meet procedural fairness requirements.

For levy-paying employers, the WSP shouldn’t sit on a shelf until next year. The real value is turning it into an ongoing strategy: closing skills gaps, aligning training to business and EE priorities, and keeping auditable records throughout the year.

Refusing a lawful and reasonable instruction isn’t a minor issue; it can be dismissible misconduct, even for a first offence, depending on the facts.

A recent Labour Court case reinforces that where refusal is wilful, causes operational harm, and the employee shows no remorse, dismissal may be justified, especially where the disciplinary code supports it.

If a labour inspector arrived this week, what would your business be able to show immediately? Not intention. Documentation.

That usually means:
• Employee records
• Contracts
• Payroll information
• Compliance files
• Internal processes

As inspection pressure increases, readiness matters more than many employers realise.

The real question is not whether there is already a dispute. It is whether your business could respond confidently if an inspection happened tomorrow.

The Minister has extended the NBCPSS Council Levies Collective Amending Agreement to all employers in the registered scope of the private security sector, even if you’re not part of an employer organisation in the Council.

That means levy obligations, registration/reporting requirements, and compliance enforcement now apply sector-wide.

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞. 𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬. 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤.

South Africa’s new 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞: 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐥 is already in effect, but many employers are still relying on outdated manager habits and legacy disciplinary processes.

That gap is where risk starts.

A business can know the framework has changed, but still face exposure if day-to-day decisions are being handled the old way.

Strikes are protected in South Africa, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐑𝐀 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝.

If employees don’t comply (CCMA/council referral, unresolved outcome/30 days, and proper notice), the strike may be unprotected, and that can mean Labour Court interdicts, discipline (even dismissal if fair), and possible compensation claims.

Most dismissal risk starts after the decision is made.

The biggest problem is often not the reason for the action. It is whether the employer can prove that the process was fair, consistent, and properly documented.

Think about the basics:
• documentation
• consistency
• procedure
• evidence
• fairness

A weak process can quickly turn a confident decision into a CCMA problem.
