Here's something most South Africans get wrong about fixed-term contracts. Your contract label doesn't necessarily determine your legal rights. Section 198B, disguised permanence, renewal traps... there's a lot employers and employees overlook.

We've written a full breakdown of what you actually need to know. Head to the comments for the link.

The difference between fixed-term and permanent employment is often understood as a simple label on a contract.

However, in practice, the distinction is based on how the employment relationship is structured and continues over time.

This visual explains the basic difference in a clear and accessible way.

If you are unsure how your contract is classified, it is worth seeking clarity before assumptions create problems later.

Fixed-term contracts are not inherently problematic, but certain patterns in how they are drafted or managed can create uncertainty for employees.

This post highlights common situations that often lead to disputes or misunderstandings in practice.

If you recognise any of these in your own contract, the most important step is not to assume the worst, but to seek clarity early so that your rights and obligations are properly understood.

Fixed-term contracts often appear straightforward on paper until they are applied in real situations.

Many disputes arise not from bad intentions, but from different expectations between employers and employees about what the agreement actually means in practice.

This post sets out some of the most common misunderstandings around fixed-term employment and how South African labour law deals with them.

If you are unsure how your contract fits within the legal framework, it is worth getting clarity before assumptions lead to avoidable disputes.

Most fixed-term employees only realise this when it is too late:

Your contract ending does not always mean your rights end.

We often see this situation. You have been on a fixed-term contract for months. Sometimes it has been renewed before and the work continues as normal.

Then suddenly, it is not renewed, no discussion, no process.

That is where the law becomes important.

Under the Labour Relations Act, fixed-term employees may still be protected:
– After 3 months: equal treatment
– Repeated renewals: may create a reasonable expectation of renewal
– Non-renewal: may be a dismissal in certain cases
– After 24 months: severance may apply

The problem is that many people rely only on what their contract says. Not what the law provides.

And they are not always the same thing.

Happy Workers' Day!

Today, we celebrate the South African workers who fought for fair treatment, job security, and dignity at work. Their legacy matters today more than ever.

Right now, millions of South African workers are on fixed-term contracts. And many don't realise what rights they actually have.

Are you on a fixed-term contract? Do you know what happens if your contract ends? Or what protections apply?

VHT Attorneys is here to make sure you understand your employment rights. No jargon, just clarity.

This May, we're breaking down fixed-term contracts. The real questions, the real answers and real protections.

Your job security matters.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “blacklisted” and left wondering what that actually means, this blog is for you.

In South Africa, there is no official blacklist, yet this term still shapes how people understand their credit status and loan options. Before applying for so-called “blacklisted loans,” it’s important to understand what lenders can legally offer, what the risks are, and what your real alternatives look like under the National Credit Act.

We break down:
• what “blacklisted” really means
• whether you can still get credit
• the risks of misleading loan offers
• and practical, legal ways to rebuild your credit record

In 1994, South Africans fought for the right to be seen, heard, and protected under the law.

That fight didn't end at the ballot box.

Every day, people face unfair dismissals, predatory lenders, illegal debt collectors, and contracts designed to work against them rather than for them.

At VHT Attorneys, we believe access to justice is not a privilege. It is a right worth protecting.

This Freedom Day, we are reminded of exactly why we do what we do.

We are, and will always be, Guardians of Fairness.

Suffering in silence at work and then resigning is not the end of the road. For a lot of South Africans, it is actually the beginning of a legal case they did not know they had.

If your employer demoted you unfairly, bullied you, cut your salary without cause, or made coming to work genuinely unbearable, the Labour Relations Act may still be on your side even after you have already left.
