Disciplinary actions against employees MUST be substantively & procedurally fair.

Non-compliance can lead to a costly expense for your business.

"The Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (the LRA) provides the following remedies for an unfair dismissal:

- The employer to reinstate the employee on the same terms and conditions of employment before the dismissal.
- The employer to re-employ the employee, which may be on new terms and conditions of employment.
- The employer to pay compensation to the employee."

Let us help you ensure the correct guidelines are followed. Contact us via email:

The maximum compensation is capped at 12 months remuneration for an ordinary unfair dismissal and 24 months for an automatically unfair dismissal.
