THE LWO ASSISTS EMPLOYERS TO COMPLY WITH LABOUR LAW.
The LWO was established in the agricultural sector in 1990. We are very proud of this history as farmers, as employers, face exceptionally challenging circumstances to manage their businesses sustainably and productively.
Since then, the LWO has positioned itself to serve all employers in all industry sectors, nationally, in the field of labour law.
WAT IS MY OPSIES?
Restrictive labour regulations make doing business in South Africa extremely difficult. It is a trend among business owners to outsource non-core activities, so that the employer has more time available to spend on core activities.
Essentially, the employer has six options to consider: handle it him-/herself, employ a full time labour law expert, or outsource the expertise to a professional service provider (four options available).
Take note that when outsourcing, there are definite differences between the four available options that can have major implications with specific reference to cost, specialist knowledge, spectrum of services, infrastructure and availability, etc.
