LABOUR LAW
At Sabeehah Ebrahim Inc., we are dedicated to helping businesses and employees navigate the complex world of South African workplace legislation.
Understanding Your Rights and Duties in the Workplace
South African labour law is built on a few core principles from the Constitution, mainly ensuring fairness and balancing the needs of employees and employers.
Our work is anchored in the main laws that govern all employment relationships:
- The Labour Relations Act (LRA): Focuses on structured communication, collective bargaining, and resolving disputes through the CCMA (Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration).
- The Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA): Sets the minimum standards for all workers, covering things like working hours, leave entitlements, and pay.
