The employee who always agrees with the boss is not necessarily your most loyal employee.

They may simply be the one who has learned that disagreement comes with a price.

Tip: Make it safe to challenge ideas without making it personal.

High Court confirms that employers are bound by final internal appeal outcomes in disciplinary proceedings

In the recent decision of Nkuna v Eskom Rotek Industries SOC Ltd (2024-022546) [2026] ZAGPJHC 634 (3 June 2026), the High Court considered whether an employer may disregard the outcome of its own internal disciplinary appeal process and unilaterally uphold an employee’s dismissal despite an appeal chairperson having set such dismissal aside. The court held that where the employment contract incorporates a disciplinary code that renders the appeal chairperson’s decision “final”, that outcome is binding on the employer. In those circumstances, the employer has no contractual entitlement to second-guess the appeal outcome or to resort to self-help by purporting to retain the dismissal.

WHAT IS TERS?
The TERS is a 12-month (maximum) solution that benefits employers and employees in companies facing distress. [This TERS is not to be confused with the Covid-19 TERS, which is a different scheme]. It enables such companies to retain employment at little cost to the employer and ensures employees continue to receive income.

The Code of Good Practice on Dismissal, reinforces the principle of progressive discipline i.e. giving employees a reasonable opportunity to correct unacceptable conduct before dismissal is considered, except where misconduct is sufficiently serious.

Warnings should be applied fairly and consistently, and even where a final written warning is in place, dismissal must still be assessed on the circumstances of the case.
