Some of the proposed changes would include a shorter working week and longer paid leave periods.

We could also audit your current systems and advise you on procedures to implement the systems required in terms of the legislation.

This situation could be very detrimental to your business should disputes in this regard be declared.

A draft contract of employment is provided in the Labour Relations Manual. Should a client need different contracts for different categories of employees, the costs of additional contracts would be negotiated.
