Basic Labour Relations Matters

Basic Labour Relations Matters in South African Micro, Very Small, Small and Medium Enterprises – A Simplified Guide for Employers.

Large corporations typically have dedicated labour relations divisions. However, most small businesses do not have such structures. Drawing on my knowledge and training in labour relations (including a certificate in labour retail management), this book discusses fundamental labour relations issues faced by small businesses. Key topics include basic labour laws, employment contracts, codes of conduct and discipline, dismissal and retrenchment procedures, grievance and dispute resolution, labour unions, workplace safety, and employee wellness. The goal is to help small business owners comply with labour legislation and avoid unnecessary legal and financial consequences.
