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?

Wie kan my help om aan Suid-Afrikaanse arbeidswetgewing te voldoen?
about lwo labour

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.

‘N PAAR VRAE OM IN GEDAGTE TE HOU MET DIE KIES VAN ‘N SPESIALIS OM JOU BESIGHEID TE ONDERSTEUN OM AAN ARBEIDSWETGEWING TE VOLDOEN:

KAN JY MY BY DIE KVBA / BEDINGINGSRAAD VERTEENWOORDIG?

As a registered employers’ organisation, the LWO automatically has the right to represent members at the CCMA, Bargaining Councils and Labour Court.

SPESIALISEER JY IN ARBEIDSWETGEWING? HET JY TOEPASLIKE ERVARING IN DIE VELD?

The LWO has been assisting employers to comply with labour law since 1990 and is a market leader today in the field of labour law in terms of expertise. The LWO has a team of highly trained legal advisors – currently with roughly 235 years’ relevant experience in the field of labour law. As a registered employers’ organisation we focus solely on assisting the employer to comply with labour law.

LEWER JY DIENSTE OP DIE WERKGEWER SE PERSEEL?

The LWO renders services on the employer’s premises or virtually according to our members’ needs. We are proud of our values and render quality services.

The LWO has a national footprint and the necessary infrastructure to guarantee our members receive quality services when they need it. We also have a 24/7 legal advice helpline where our members have direct access to our legal department for assistance at any time.

IS JOU OPLOSSING KOSTE-EFFEKTIEF?

The LWO is a non-profit members’ organisation which means that finances are managed in our members’ best interest and not to chase profit. We definitely make a profit (otherwise our organisation wouldn’t be sustainable), but call it a surplus, which is invested back into the organisation to improve service delivery with regards to specialist knowledge and infrastructure.

HOE LANK BESTAAN DIE BESIGHEID AL? BESIGHEID KONTINUÏTEIT?

The LWO organisation was established in 1990 to assist employers to comply with labour law.

KAN EK AS DIE WERKGEWER INSETTE LEWER IN TERME VAN DIE BESTUUR VAN DIE ORGANISASIE?

The LWO is a non-profit members’ organisation managed by a Board consisting of members of the organisation. The benefit to you as member, is that the organisation is managed by employers who have first-hand experience and knowledge of the workplace and challenges employers face, and gives strategic direction to the organisation according to members’ needs.
