Frequently Asked Questions
Are written employment contracts important for my business?
The employment contract plays a crucial role in defining the terms, conditions and expectations of the employment relationship, providing legal protection, clarity and structure for both you and your employees. Written contracts prevent unnecessary disputes.
Why do I need advice and/or representation for the CCMA?
Labour laws and regulations can be complex and nuanced. In cases where disputes escalate to conciliation and/or arbitration, having professional advice and/or representation can assist with presenting arguments and evidence to achieve favourable outcomes for your business.
What is the importance of performance management?
Performance management is crucial for aligning employee goals with business objectives and identifying areas for improvement. It contributes to your employees’ development and overall business success.
Why should I register with the Compensation Fund?
Apart from breaking the law, the business can face huge fines or even prosecution for not complying with the Act.
Do I need a COIDA Letter of Good Standing for Tenders, RFQs and Contracts?
To apply for most contracts and tenders, your business will have to submit a Letter of Good Standing which you received from the Compensation Fund. Businesses don’t want to subcontract or hire companies whose employees aren’t insured by the Workman’s Compensation Fund.
