By Carol Tissiman Promotions arise for many reasons and are part of normal changes in the working life of employees. The Labour Relations Act and section 6 of the Employment Equity Act require that the methods used for selecting individuals for promotion are fair and relevant to the requirements of the job. This task of promotion therefore becomes onerous on the employer, and sound human resources practices need to be in place.

By Carol Tissiman South Africa, as a member state of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) boasts workplace law that is on par with the first world countries. The right of each person to fair labour practices and a working environment that does not detrimentally affect their health or well-being is a fundamental right in our Constitution. Whether or not you view your workplace as hazardous, the current law requires that all persons in the workplace need to adhere to safe working practices. Interestingly enough both the employer and the employee are responsible for safety in the workplace, and there are severe penalties for non-compliance in this regard. This means that both employers and employees in any workplace (office, supermarket, factory, mine construction site or other) need to ensure that the working environment is safe in terms of the law.

By Carol Tissiman Many businesses in South Africa will be gearing themselves to meet additional workloads in preparation for or during this year’s World Cup event. While some fortunate businesses may be able to sustain higher staff levels, many of these are likely to have to reduce their staff complements after the events and activities are over. Operationally this decision may be simple, but in line with good Human Resources practice, employers need to make sure they follow the correct procedures and avoid ending up in the CCMA.
