Due to this they land up at the CCMA or bargaining council far too often. Awareness by employers of highly dangerous labour law provisions can reduce the number of cases brought against them. For example: Þ An employer who demotes an employee could find itself at the *wrong end* of an unfair labour practice arbitration hearing Þ Employers can, in certain cases, be *successfully* sued for unfair dismissal even if they have *not actually fired* the employee! Þ At an unfair dismissal arbitration the employer is normally *assumed guilty* until it proves itself innocent Þ Compensation for unfair dismissal is very costly for employers. For example, certain unfair dismissals could cost the employer up to *24 months’ pay* Þ Where a dismissal has been found to be unfair the number one remedy is *reinstatement *(often with full back pay). This means that often employers will be unable merely to pay the employee off in order to get rid of him. In order to avoid the above dangers and many others employers should obtain the expertise necessary to: Þ Train/retrain management/supervision in IR, leadership and disciplinary skills. Þ Redesign disciplinary policies so that the implementation of discipline is based on constructive, effective but fair corrective measures. * * * LABOUR LAW MANAGEMENT CONSULTING* * PROTECTOR OF EMPLOYER RIGHTS* If you do not want to receive any more newsletters, http://unews.co.za/labour/?p=unsubscribe&uid=cc735097aa3c5f04901b09c441ed9ba8 To update your preferences and to unsubscribe visit http://unews.co.za/labour/?p=preferences&uid=cc735097aa3c5f04901b09c441ed9ba8 Forward a Message to Someone http://unews.co.za/labour/?p=forward&uid=cc735097aa3c5f04901b09c441ed9ba8&mid=13 -- Powered by PHPlist, www.phplist.com -- |
