Allardyce & Partners Offers Labour Law Specialists
A new year is upon us, putting the incredibly difficult 2020 behind us and giving us hope for the future. However, COVID-19 is still wreaking havoc when it comes to the effect it has on businesses in South Africa and how the businesses are forced to respond to on-going restrictionsand related COVID-19 regulations and protocols. Retrenchments and budget constraints were common themes of businesses throughout 2020, leading to an increase in legal labour disputes and many people losing their regular jobs.
The CCMA’s Part
The Commission of Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA) is a social services organisation that was established to promote and protect labour rights in South Africa. Therefore, this organisation is charged to handle disputes when an employee feels that they are being treated unfairly by their employer. However, the CCMA faced a major budget cut in November 2020, with R617 million being constrained. They responded by severely reducing their part-time commissioners who are responsible for hearing the majority of their cases. As a result, a large backlog of cases has been created by the budget constraints in the midst of the COVID-19 job crisis.
