EMPLOYERS , EMPLOYEES AND LABOUR LAWS
TERMINATION OF CONTRACTS.

Good morning family.

What does the law state on termination of contracts of employment?
According to Section 51 (2) Employment Code Act:
"An employer shall not terminate a contract of employment of an employee without a valid reason for the termination connected with the capacity or conduct of the employee or based on the operational requirements of the undertaking".

This basically implies that an employer should not just dismiss any person when they wish to and feel like. A VALID reason should be given to the employee when terminating their employment with the company. For instance,
"We wish to inform you that your contract with ...... company will be terminated on 25/09/2024 due to operational measures the company is taking..."

The law further guides that:
"(3) An employer shall not terminate the contract of employment of an employee for reasons related to an employee's conduct or performance, before the employee is accorded an opportunity to be heard".

So even though the reason is performance oriented, the employer has to accord an employee a chance to be heard. In this regard, the employer has to find measures to try and help the employee improve his/her performance. Where the effort given is not fruitful, the employee should be written to regarding the matter and fired

Additionally, 5 states that "An employer shall bear the burden of proof that the termination of a contract of employment was fair and for a valid reason".

I recently came across a resignation letter that made me pause.

The employee wrote:
โ€œMy parents never raised their voices at me, so getting yelled at by my manager was a plot twist I didnโ€™t sign up for.โ€

That line says it all.

Itโ€™s not always the workload or the targets that push people out , itโ€™s the tone, the shouting, the lack of respect.

Leaders often forget: people donโ€™t just want a paycheck. They want an environment where they feel safe, respected, and treated like adults.

And sometimes, the difference between losing great talent and keeping them is as simple as how you choose to speak to them.

What makes people choose you, even when youโ€™re not in the room?

Itโ€™s not always your title.
Not even your price.
Itโ€™s the experience you leave behind.

Think about it:
โ€ข Do people remember how easy it is to work with you?
โ€ข Do you meet deadlines without being chased?
โ€ข Do you offer solutions or wait for instructions?
โ€ข Do you respect boundaries while still showing up fully?

In one instance, I was recommended for a project I didnโ€™t even apply for , simply because a former client told someone, โ€œShe gets the job done, and you wonโ€™t need to micromanage her.โ€ That stuck with me.

People donโ€™t just return because youโ€™re โ€œgood.โ€ They return because:
- You make their life easier.
- You bring peace, not pressure.
- You deliver consistently , even under pressure.

Your work is your voice in rooms your feet havenโ€™t entered yet.

This Wednesday, ask yourself:
What is my professional aftertaste?

Your BEST people will leave and thatโ€™s OKAY!

Retention is important, but we must accept that even our star performers may decide to move on. As leaders, our responsibility is to ensure they leave better equipped than when they joined.

Great leaders create environments that foster growth and development, empowering individuals to thrive. Our legacy is measured not by those who stay, but by the success of those who move on and continue to make an impact elsewhere.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us:
โ€œFor everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted โ€œ.
This verse highlights that change is inevitable. Just as there are seasons for growth and harvest, there are also seasons for people to move on to new opportunities in their careers.

Letโ€™s embrace change, empower our teams, and celebrate the successes they carry forward.

How much do you Know your Labour Laws?

โš–๏ธ Termination & Dismissal: Are You Following the Right Procedure? โš–๏ธ

Termination of employment is sometimes necessary, but how it is handled matters. The Employment Code Act No. 3 of 2019 sets clear guidelines for fair dismissal and termination procedures to protect both employers and employees from unfair labor practices.

๐Ÿ”น What Does the Law Say?
Under the Act, termination must be justified, procedurally fair, and in line with employment contracts and labor laws. Key provisions include:

Notice Periods: Employers must provide written notice or payment in lieu of notice:
โœ…One monthโ€™s notice for employees on a monthly contract
โœ…Two weeksโ€™ notice for those on a fortnightly contract
โœ…One weekโ€™s notice for weekly contracts
โœ…One dayโ€™s notice for daily wage earners

Valid Grounds for Dismissal:
โœ…Poor performance (after proper warnings and opportunities for improvement)
โœ…Misconduct (must be properly investigated with a disciplinary hearing)
โœ…Redundancy (must follow proper procedures, including consultation and severance benefits)

Unfair Dismissal Protections:
๐Ÿ”นEmployees cannot be dismissed due to pregnancy, union membership, illness, or whistleblowing.
Any dismissal without following due process can be challenged in court, leading to compensation or reinstatement orders.

Ensuring Compliance & Fairness
Employers must:
๐Ÿ”นDocument all performance reviews and warnings before termination.
๐Ÿ”น Conduct fair disciplinary hearings before dismissing for misconduct.
๐Ÿ”น Follow redundancy procedures, including severance pay where applicable.
๐Ÿ”นEnsure terminations are not discriminatory or in violation of labor laws.

A fair workplace benefits everyone, businesses reduce legal risks, and employees feel secure.
Are termination procedures in your workplace legally compliant? Letโ€™s discuss!

Personal Responsibility: The Key to Unlocking Progress

Until we accept full responsibility for our actions, mindset, and outcomes, we will never fully dedicate ourselves to improving our situation. Itโ€™s easy to fall into the trap of passive entitlement expecting others or external factors to change in order for us to succeed. But the truth is, personal progress begins the moment we take ownership of our own journey.

When we recognize that our success is in our hands, we stop waiting for the โ€œperfectโ€ circumstances and start creating them ourselves. Progress doesnโ€™t happen by chance. It happens through intentional effort, persistence, and the ability to adapt. Waiting for things to be different only prolongs growth; embracing responsibility accelerates it.

Letโ€™s stop waiting for someone else to make the change we need. Own your actions. Own your growth. The power to improve starts with you.

hy HR Deserves a Seat at the Boardroom Table

In todayโ€™s business world, HR is no longer just a functional support team but a strategic partner that shapes organizational success. With talent being the most valuable asset, HR plays a crucial role in talent acquisition, employee engagement, and workforce optimization.

HR is also key in promoting employee well-being, fostering a healthy culture, and ensuring diversity, equity, and inclusion. Their unique insights into employee satisfaction, performance, and retention directly impact business outcomes, making them vital in shaping long-term strategy.

Moreover, HRโ€™s use of data and analytics helps predict trends and drive proactive decisions, while its involvement in risk management and crisis response strengthens an organizationโ€™s resilience.

By integrating HR into the boardroom, companies ensure that people strategy is aligned with business goals. In essence, a people-centric approach, led by HR, is critical to future business success. Itโ€™s time for HR to take its rightful seat in the boardroom to drive innovation and sustainable growth.
