Sick leave works in cycles: 30 days over 36 months for a 5-day work week — but only 1 day per 26 days worked during the first 6 months of employment. Managing suspected sick leave abuse? There's a right way and a wrong way. Ask us.

How long does a written warning last? The law doesn't say — your disciplinary code does. Most codes use 3 to 6 months. If your code is silent or outdated, that gap will cost you at arbitration. We can fix it.

Four consecutive months of maternity leave — that's the law. The BCEA doesn't oblige the employer to pay for it (UIF benefits apply), but dismissing an employee for pregnancy is automatically unfair. Handle these matters with care.

Probation is not a free pass. You can hold new employees to a standard — but dismissal during probation still requires a fair reason and a fair procedure, including guidance and an opportunity to improve.

Annual leave is not a favour — it's a right. 21 consecutive days per leave cycle, and it can't simply be exchanged for cash while employment continues. Make sure your leave policy is BCEA-compliant.

Overtime is voluntary and must be agreed — you can't simply instruct it. It's capped at 10 hours a week and paid at 1.5 times the normal wage. Are your overtime agreements in writing?

The national minimum wage is R30.23 per ordinary hour from 1 March 2026 — including farm and domestic workers. Paying below the minimum is not just a fine waiting to happen; it can also amount to an unfair labour practice. Check your payroll.

How much notice is enough? The BCEA sets the minimums — 1 week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks depending on length of service. Your contracts may provide for more, but never less. When did you last review your employment contracts?

The 45-hour week is the ceiling for ordinary hours. Everything beyond that is overtime territory with its own rules. If your rosters are pushing the limits, let's review them before an inspector does.
