About The Event
This comprehensive 2-day master class bridges the crucial gap between internal disciplinary processes and external CCMA arbitration. Delegates gain the full set of practical, legal, and procedural skills required to manage misconduct cases—from the initial investigation through to defending the matter before a commissioner. The course is designed to ensure your disciplinary decisions can withstand external scrutiny and that your organisation maintains procedural and substantive fairness at every stage.
Day 1: Mastering Internal Disciplinary Processes
Legal framework: LRA, natural justice, and procedural fairness
Conducting preliminary investigations and gathering evidence effectively
Formulating clear, accurate charges and avoiding drafting pitfalls
Chairing disciplinary enquiries: procedure, control, and guided decision-making
Evaluating evidence and deciding guilt on a balance of probabilities
Documentation best practices—how to produce arbitration-ready records
Managing virtual hearings and handling technology requirements
Day 2: From Enquiry to Arbitration
Understanding how commissioners assess internal processes
CCMA rules and procedures—from referral to final award
Preparing and presenting your case at arbitration: strategy, bundling, witnesses
Evidence law in arbitration: admissibility, weight, and common challenges
Defending procedural and substantive fairness
Avoiding common arbitration pitfalls in misconduct cases
Case law updates shaping discipline and arbitration
Practical exercises: Mock enquiry → arbitration preparation simulation
This master class gives delegates the confidence to run robust, legally compliant disciplinary processes and build cases that hold up under CCMA or bargaining council review.
