Frequently Asked Questions

Do you assist businesses with labour compliance?

Yes! Labour law compliance is crucial for employers. We provide businesses in Johannesburg with:

Legal audits of employment contracts
Assistance in drafting HR policies
Disciplinary procedures and hearings
Representation in CCMA & Labour Court cases
Compliance training for HR teams and management

By ensuring labour law compliance, we help businesses reduce legal risks and maintain fair workplace policies.

What should I do if I am unfairly dismissed?

If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed, you should act quickly. South African labour law allows you 30 days to file an unfair dismissal dispute with the CCMA (Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration) or a relevant Bargaining Council.

The first step is to consult a labour lawyer in Johannesburg, who can assess the details of your case, help you gather the necessary documentation, and represent you in conciliation or arbitration proceedings. If the dismissal is found to be unfair, you may be entitled to compensation or reinstatement.

How do I know if my employer is violating my rights?

Employees are entitled to fair treatment, and any form of unlawful dismissal, discrimination, unpaid wages, workplace harassment, or breach of contract could be a violation of your rights. If you are unsure whether your rights have been infringed upon, consulting a Johannesburg labour attorney can help clarify your legal standing and the best course of action.

What are my rights if I am retrenched?

Retrenchment must follow fair procedures in line with the Labour Relations Act. Employees are entitled to:

Proper notice
A fair retrenchment consultation process
Severance pay (at least one week’s salary per year of service)
The opportunity to challenge unfair retrenchment

If you suspect that your retrenchment was unlawful, our labour lawyers in Johannesburg can help you contest it and negotiate a fair settlement.

Can my employer force me to sign a contract with unfair terms?

No, employment contracts must comply with South African labour laws. If you feel pressured to sign an agreement with unfair clauses, such as excessive non-compete terms, unfair termination policies, or unreasonable working conditions, you should seek legal advice before signing. We can review your contract and negotiate better terms on your behalf.

What is the process for filing a case with the CCMA?

The CCMA process typically involves:

Filing a case – The complaint must be lodged within 30 days of the unfair dismissal or 90 days for other labour disputes.
Conciliation – A meeting between you and your employer to resolve the issue amicably.
Arbitration – If conciliation fails, a commissioner will make a binding ruling on the dispute.
Labour Court – If necessary, the case may escalate to the Labour Court for further legal proceedings.

Our Johannesburg labour lawyers can assist you throughout the CCMA and Labour Court process, ensuring that your case is presented effectively.

How much do labour lawyers charge in Johannesburg?

Legal fees vary depending on the complexity of the case, the time required, and the level of representation needed.
