In MLLU 2026, delegates will unpack: The most impactful Labour Court, Labour Appeal Court, Constitutional Court and CCMA cases of the first half of the year—across recruitment, contracting, performance, misconduct, discrimination, dismissals, operational requirements, restraints, confidential information, protected disclosures, and workplace conduct. Mid-year statutory developments and regulatory shifts emerging from NEDLAC, policy drafts, government notices, and parliamentary processes—including updates relating to the LRA, BCEA, EEA, and National Minimum Wage Act. Key labour relations risks trending in the South African workplace, such as changing standards in dismissal fairness, sexual harassment obligations, religious accommodation, workplace violence during industrial action, and the growing intersection of technology and employment law. Practical guidance for recalibrating internal policies, case strategies, and HR/ER practices to align with the latest legal and workplace imperatives. Throughout the session, Jonathan Goldberg, Chairman of Global Business Solutions, synthesises the forces shaping South African labour policy with the clarity and depth that have made the GBS updates a cornerstone for HR and ER professionals nationwide. Delegates receive structured insights, case breakdowns, and clear “what this means for you” directives to support immediate workplace implementation. Why Attend MLLU 2026?

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.

The administrative function is essential to support this function in organisations. The administrative role is becoming more important as the HRM landscape evolves due to technological advancements, changing demographics, and globalisation. In this realignment, the qualification has been elevated from a purely clerical role into a full administrative one. This is essential to meet the demands of complex and evolving organisations. HRM Administrators are essential in organisations in South Africa for several reasons. Firstly, the HRM administrators ensure that organisations comply with the various labour laws and regulations in South Africa. These laws cover areas such as minimum wages, working conditions, and employee rights; failure to comply with these laws can result in legal action against the organisation, which can be costly in terms of fines and reputational damage. Secondly, HRM Administrators aid the organisation in attracting, recruiting, and selecting the best persons for the organisation. Thirdly the HRM Administrator plays a pivotal role in the internal communication processes in organisations. Effective internal communication is essential for harmonious employment relations in organisations. This qualification establishes a standardised platform for the delivery of these essential services. Given the importance of this role, having a formal occupational qualification provides several benefits, including ensuring that HRM Administrators possess the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their duties effectively, enhancing their credibility and professionalism, and ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Knowledge Modules: • Introduction to Organisations and Human Resource Management • Data Management and Interpretation • Administration of Staff Procurement • Professional Administration for HRM Service Delivery • HRM Record Keeping Practical Modules: • Collect and Process HRM Data • Coordinate and Provide Administrative Services for a Full Range of HRM Processes: • Coordinate HRM Communication to Enhance Employment Relations • Compile, Maintain, and ensure the Safeguarding of all HRM Records Workplace Module: • HRM Data Collection and Data Management Processes • Administrative Processes for a Full Range of HRM Services and Processes • Organisational Communication Processes • Processes for Compiling, Maintaining, and Securing HRM Records Compulsory National EISA Exam (External Integrated Summative Assessment) The EISA conducted through the relevant QCTO Assessment Quality partner is required for the issuing of this qualification.
