Parental Leave After van Wyk Pop-Up Monday, 20 July 2026 | Virtual R950.00 (excl. VAT) The Constitutional Court's landmark Van Wyk judgment has fundamentally changed parental leave in South Africa, creating new legal obligations—and significant uncertainty —for employers. This practical webinar unpacks what the ruling means, how shared parental leave works in practice, and how organisations can design legally defensible leave and pay frameworks while balancing fairness, compliance, employee expectations, and cost. Date: 20 July 2026 | Time: 10:00–11:30 | Platform: Zoom | Investment: R950 excl. VAT per delegate. Great news, registrations are OPEN! Register Now Time & Location 20 July 2026, Monday, 10:00 - 11:30 Virtual About The Event Parental Leave After Van Wyk: Practical Strategies, Defensible Pay Models, and Urgent Compliance Actions for Employers On 3 October 2025 , the Constitutional Court fundamentally changed the parental leave landscape in South Africa through the Van Wyk judgment , declaring key provisions unconstitutional and introducing an interim shared parental leave framework. For employers, this is far more than a legal update—it is a strategic HR, payroll, and compliance challenge. The Court has equalised leave entitlements, but it has not prescribed exactly how employers should approach payment during parental leave. This means organisations must now make critical decisions regarding leave structures, remuneration models, and policy design—while managing legal risk, employee expectations, and operational realities. Many employers are already exposed without realising it. Why This Webinar Matters The legal framework has changed, but the practical implementation questions remain. Different approaches to parental leave pay can create vastly different legal, financial, and employee-relations outcomes. Organisations that fail to act proactively may find themselves vulnerable to discrimination disputes, employee complaints, inconsistent policy application, and future litigation. This session provides practical guidance, decision-making frameworks, and defensible approaches that organisations can implement immediately. What You Will Learn Understanding the Van Wyk Judgment Gain clarity on what the Constitutional Court ruling requires from employers right now and how the interim shared parental leave model operates in practice. Shared Parental Leave in Practice Understand how leave may be structured between parents and the implications for policy design, employee relations, and compliance. Parental Leave Pay Models Explore seven structured remuneration approaches and understand where each model sits on the legal and operational risk spectrum. Postpartum Recovery Pay vs Bonding Pay Understand why this distinction has become one of the most important concepts emerging from the judgment and how it influences employer decision-making. Designing Defensible Policies Learn how to create a fair, non-discriminatory parental leave framework that aligns with organisational realities while reducing legal risk. Managing Compliance Risks Identify high-risk policy positions currently being adopted in the market and understand how to avoid common pitfalls. Payroll, Contracts and Policy Updates Discover what changes may be required within your employment contracts, payroll systems, leave policies, and internal procedures. Balancing Cost, Fairness and Employee Experience Develop an approach that protects the organisation while supporting employee wellbeing and workplace equity. Included for All Delegates Delegates will receive: A parental leave policy template aligned to the new dispensation A model contract clause for immediate implementation Practical guidance notes to support internal discussions and decision-making Who Should Attend? This session is particularly relevant for: HR Executives and HR Managers Employee Relations Practitioners Payroll and Reward Specialists Legal and Compliance Teams Business Partners Executives responsible for people strategy and governance Why Attend? This is not a theoretical legal update. You will leave with practical frameworks, implementation options, policy guidance, and real-world employer scenarios designed to help your organisation make informed decisions before disputes arise. The current environment presents both risk and opportunity. Organisations that move early can create fair, sustainable and defensible parental leave frameworks. Those that delay may find themselves responding reactively to employee complaints, compliance concerns, or litigation.
