LABOUR LAW ISSUES.

Training & Workshops
The moment an employer-employee relationship exists, there are strict requirements the employer must comply with, despite the number of employees.
Restrictive labour regulations complicate business in South Africa. Therefore, it is often more practical to outsource non-core activities, so employers have more time to spend on essential business activities.
The LWO makes managing labour law issues easy, simple AND helps you protect your business.
SPECIALIST SERVICES
The LWO has a team of highly skilled legal advisors – with around 235 combined years of relevant experience in the field of labour law. As an employers’ organisation that is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour, the LWO focuses expressly on supporting members to comply with labour law.
The LWO services members at their place of work according to the member’s needs, but has a national footprint and the necessary infrastructure to ensure that members receive quality service when they need it. The LWO also has a 24/7 labour law advice helpline where members can access the legal department for telephonic support. It is important to understand that the LWO offers a personal service with practical solutions and does not follow a call centre approach.
As a registered employers’ organisation, the LWO automatically has the right to represent members at the CCMA, Bargaining Councils and Labour Court.

EMPLOYMENT EQUITY ACT
The Employment Equity Act (EEA) aims to eliminate unfair discrimination in the workplace by promoting equal opportunities and fair treatment. It applies to all employers, but “designated employers” (who meet the minimum requirements) have additional responsibilities.
The LWO has a dedicated team specialising in Employment Equity. Make sure you know what is expected of you and that you comply with this act.
Training and Workshops
South Africa’s labour environment is highly regulated. Empower yourself with knowledge and grab this opportunity to learn from labour law experts. You can reposition yourself and protect your rights as the employer in the employment relationship going forward, with the right guidance and support.
The LWO offers various training courses to both LWO members and non-members:
