About The Event
The New Code of Good Practice on Dismissal marks one of the most significant shifts in South African labour relations in decades.
Moving beyond the rigid “criminal justice” style of discipline, the Code introduces a more human-centric, efficient, and practical framework for managing misconduct, incapacity, and operational requirements.
In this interactive programme, we will explore how organisations can:
Modernise outdated disciplinary codes to reflect today’s workplace realities.
Simplify processes to reduce complexity, costs, and delays.
Apply shorter notice periods to manage suspensions effectively.
Understand the expanded definition of incapacity, including incompatibility within company culture and incarceration.
Implement more holistic approaches to performance management.
Navigate restructuring with structured, transparent Section 189 protocols.
Whether you’re an HR professional, business leader, or labour law practitioner, this event provides essential insights to align your organisation with the latest labour law standards while fostering fairness, efficiency, and resilience.
