In-Depth Learning Materials Participants who register for and attend the Annual Labour Law Update will be provided with a comprehensive set of presentation slides. These slides contain essential learning points for each case discussed during the seminar. You will also receive a meticulously curated compilation of over 200 Labour Law Cases, thoughtfully organized into various topics and presented in an electronic book form. We will unpack 40 of these most important cases. South Africa's labour law landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, presenting both challenges and opportunities for employers and employees alike. As Court interpretations refine existing statutes and new regulations emerge, organizations must stay vigilant to ensure compliance and foster positive workplace relations. The Annual Law Update (ALLU) is your essential guide to navigating this complex terrain. Led by Jonathan Goldberg, Chairman of Global Business Solutions and one of South Africa's foremost authorities on labour law, ALLU provides unparalleled insights into the latest legal developments. With his experience as Labour Market Chamber Convenor at NEDLAC and Ministerial appointment to the National Minimum Wage Commission, Jonathan offers a unique perspective on the forces shaping South African labour policy. Don't get caught off guard by shifting regulations or precedent-setting rulings. Join over 1000 of your peers at ALLU to get ahead of the curve and equip your organization with the knowledge needed to thrive in today's dynamic labour environment. Key Topics: IMPORTANT: In addition to the many Labour Appeal and Labour Court judgements, the impact of the vast amendments to labour laws that have been under negotiation at NEDLAC over the past 2 years will be an additional core focus area - this will include the coming amendments to the NMW Act, BCEA, LRA and the Employment Equity Act. South African Labour Law Update: Key Developments Restraint of Trade: Courts are strictly enforcing non-compete agreements that protect legitimate business interests, while dismissing overly broad clauses. Religious Discrimination: Employers must reasonably accommodate religious observances, as seen in a ruling favouring a marketing manager dismissed for refusing to work on the Sabbath. Workplace Assessment Practices: Psychometric testing for promotions upheld as valid when within policy guidelines and fairly administered. Operational Retrenchments: Courts remain strict on consultation requirements and objective selection criteria, even when business necessity is clear. Confidentiality Breaches: Employees reinstated after courts determined shared emails were not actually confidential, highlighting proportionality in discipline. Strike-Related Misconduct: Violent strike action has lost legal protection, with courts granting interdicts against participants in destructive industrial action. Jurisdictional Boundaries: Clarification on when disputes must go through CCMA conciliation before court proceedings, particularly for severance claims. Union Rights: Supreme Court reinforces union communication rights and protection from employer interference. Settlement Enforcement: Employers face contempt charges for non-compliance with settlement agreements, with courts taking avoidance of legal service seriously. Evidence Standards: Dismissal rulings overturned where arbitrators improperly relied on hearsay evidence, reinforcing fair hearing requirements. Retirement Age Disputes: Constitutional Court clarification on when dismissals based on age constitute discrimination. Workplace Bullying: New precedents requiring employers to take proactive measures against harassment and toxic work environments. #ALLU2025 is your comprehensive resource for understanding the current labour law landscape, equipping you with the knowledge to navigate and adapt to ongoing changes effectively. Don't miss this opportunity to stay ahead in South Africa's dynamic labour environment.

Register Now Time & Location 25 March 2026, Wednesday, 09:00 - 11:00 Virtual About The Event A comprehensive briefing on the most far-reaching amendments to labour legislation in a generation — and what they mean for your organisation. Following a multi-year tripartite process at NEDLAC, South Africa is considering landmark reforms to core labour legislation. This pop-up webinar is designed as a fast, high-impact update for organisations that need clarity quickly, without waiting for changes to be finalised. You will leave with a clear understanding of the direction of travel, the parts that are most likely to affect employers, and the practical steps to take now to improve risk management and compliance readiness. The webinar unpacks proposed reforms affecting bargaining council and collective agreement frameworks, dismissal remedies and thresholds, large-scale retrenchment processes and severance pay, the definition and scope of unfair labour practices, and changes impacting temporary employment services, fixed-term and part-time work. It also covers major BCEA proposals relevant to “on call” workers, deductions from remuneration, and leave/pay calculation implications, alongside related high-risk shifts such as extended definitions of employee status and the compliance and cost consequences for non-standard workers. The session also addresses areas of litigation and financial sustainability risk, including proposed EEA amendments relating to unfair discrimination on arbitrary grounds and NMW-related implications following recent case law. Your facilitators are Jonathan Goldberg and John Botha , bringing direct NEDLAC labour law reform insight and practical employer-focused interpretation to help you plan confidently. The session is offered as a live online webinar on Zoom, and can also be delivered as customised in-house training.
