Employers and Employees: A broken tool or a till shortage can quickly turn payday into a dispute. A workplace loss does not automatically justify a salary deduction. Section 34 of the BCEA requires written agreement to a specified debt or another lawful basis. When recovering workplace loss or damage by agreement, the employer must establish employee fault, follow a fair procedure and give the employee a reasonable opportunity to respond. Recovery cannot exceed the actual loss, and total deductions for such losses may not exceed 25% of the employee’s remuneration in money. Employers should investigate and keep records; employees should understand the reason and calculation before signing. JL Labour helps both sides resolve workplace problems fairly.

ATTENTION EMPLOYERS: If a dispute about hours, pay or leave arose today, could your records explain what happened? Section 31 of the BCEA requires prescribed employment, working-time and remuneration records to be kept for three years from the last entry. Take time this week to check attendance registers, payroll calculations, overtime arrangements and leave balances. Investigate discrepancies promptly, explain the outcome to the employees concerned and record how the issue was resolved. Accurate records help you make informed decisions, respond to questions and demonstrate fair workplace practices. Employees also benefit from clarity about their hours, earnings and leave. Make these checks part of your routine before missing information becomes a costly dispute. JL Labour assists employers with practical guidance on everyday workplace compliance and labour relations.

Signing a warning doesn't mean you agree with it - it just confirms you received it. For employers, if an employee refuses to sign, that alone doesn't invalidate the warning. What matters is a fair process and a clear record. For employees, not signing doesn't make the warning disappear. It's smarter to note 'received, but not in agreement', and give your side in writing. Clarity like this keeps workplaces steady and saves everyone time and stress. For guidance or a quick check on your process, reach out to JL Labour: 074 209 9760.

Attention employers and employees. A Friday morning reality check. Most workplace disputes don't start from bad intent. They start from not knowing your rights or duties. Did you know that in some cases an employee can be fairly dismissed without a written warning, or that an employer can still lose at CCMA even when there was a valid reason? For employers, one wrong step can trigger costly litigation. For employees, missing a 30-day deadline can close the door on relief. Don't wait for a crisis. Join the growing JL Labour community for clear, practical updates that help you avoid trouble before it starts. JL Labour 074 209 9760 [email protected] Web www.jllabour.co.za

A payslip is not just a piece of paper - it's a basic right and a good habit. Employers should give written pay details every pay period and employees should check for accuracy. Clear payslips help prevent disputes about hours, overtime, deductions and leave. If something looks wrong, raise it early and keep records.

Every day at work, small HR issues pop up that feel routine until they aren't. A casual overtime request, a quick “we'll sort your contract later,” an offhand warning instead of a proper process. Those little moments build risk or resentment on both sides. Clear communication, written terms, basic procedures aren't red tape. They're the guard-rails that protect people and the business. If you're unsure where the line is, that's usually the moment to pause and get clarity, before it snowballs. Then your hashtags:
