UNFAIR DISMISSALS
- STATUTORY
Every employee has the right not to be unfairly dismissed. Once
the existence of the dismissal is established, the employer must prove
that the reason for the dismissal is a fair reason and effected in
accordance with a fair procedure. If there is a dispute about the
fairness of a dismissal, the aggrieved employee has 30 days to refer the
matter to the CCMA or the appropriate Bargaining Council.
Statutory Dismissals:
Statutory forms of dismissal that are open to scrutiny include -
1. Non-renewal of a fixed term
contract.
2. Termination on the grounds
of pregnancy or maternity leave.
3. Selective non
re-employment.
4. Constructive dismissal
(making continued employment intolerable for the employee).
If you feel that your are subject to the above, we suggest that you
immediately seek assistance from a labour expert / attorney.
