Built around the theme The Tipping Point: Eight Laws.

What will delegates gain from the seminar? Jonathan Goldberg, Chairman of Global Business Solutions , and the GBS facilitation team will explain each development in plain language, with clear answers to the question: What does this mean for employers? Delegates will leave equipped to: Reduce labour litigation and compliance risk Anticipate employee-relations flashpoints Update workplace policies, procedures and employment contracts Manage discipline, incapacity and dismissal more confidently Brief executives and clients on developing labour law requirements Make legally informed decisions about people, technology and workplace change Respond proactively instead of discovering legal changes after they affect the organisation What value adds are included with ALLU 2026?

The Power of Being Ahead of the Evolution Curve Delve into the latest case law emanating primarily from the Labour Appeal Court, the Labour Court, and various topical arbitration awards that provide insight into current and imminent employment relations imperatives. These legal decisions cover the entire employment lifecycle regulated by labour law, from recruitment and selection, employment contracting and succession planning, remuneration and terms of employment, through dismissals, retirement and abscondments, and discrimination, as well as: Revolutionary interpretations of restraint of trade - from protecting business interests to ensuring fair competition, including selective enforcement and urgent applications Game-changing rulings on religious discrimination that redefine workplace accommodation and employee rights Critical new standards for operational requirement dismissals and alternative employment obligations Pivotal developments in handling sexual harassment claims and workplace gender discrimination Groundbreaking decisions on CCMA jurisdiction in dismissal disputes and res judicata Essential guidance on transfers of business under section 197 and employee rights Fresh perspectives on protected disclosures and whistleblower protection during disciplinary proceedings Must-know developments in workplace violence during strikes and employee misconduct Cutting-edge rulings on demotion and unfair labour practices Key decisions on collective agreement disputes and bargaining council jurisdiction Critical updates on fixed-term contract terminations and date of dismissal calculations Landmark rulings on employer and employee obligations regarding confidential information Pivotal cases clarifying disciplinary hearing requirements and procedural fairness Essential guidance on employee removals and dismissals following third-party instructions New boundaries in dishonesty dismissals and banking sector obligations 3.

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.
