EMPLOYING FOREIGN NATIONALS: MAJOR CHANGES ON THE HORIZON - The Employment Services Amendment Bill, 2026: what employers need to know

South Africa is entering a new era in the regulation of foreign employment. The Employment Services Amendment Bill, 2026, which forms part of government’s broader strategy under the National Labour Migration Policy, is one of the most significant reforms to the country’s labour and immigration framework in recent years. If enacted, it will replace the current sections 8 and 9 of the Employment Services Act, 2014 with a far more detailed Chapter 3A in terms of which employers will face stricter and ongoing obligations, the Minister of Employment and Labour will be empowered to set quotas for the employment of foreign nationals, and penalties will escalate.

Nine employees gather outside the gate at lunchtime. They sing, they dance, they carry placards. Six weeks later all nine are dismissed for an illegal picket. Their defence? They were rehearsing for a colleague's wedding.

In this episode of our "What if" series, we unpacks the Labour Court's decision in AMCU obo Sebalela Agreement and 9 Others v Fraser Alexander (Pty) Ltd — and asks whether that dismissal was fair.

We cover:
• What the LRA actually requires before conduct counts as a strike or a picket (and why a lunch break isn't working time)
• The evidentiary collapse: missing CCTV, a hard drive "hijacked in transit", eyewitnesses never called
• Why the employer couldn't prove prejudice — including a pump reset by one of the dancing employees
• The procedural cost of HR advising management not to engage
• Reinstatement as the primary remedy

Six practical takeaways for employers on characterising collective conduct, preserving evidence, and issuing ultimatums before it's too late.

Comply now – Complain later: A Labour Appeal Court Lesson on Insubordination and Fair Sanctions

The Labour Appeal Court’s decision in Department of Correctional Services v TD Kutu serves as a stark reminder that even long-serving employees cannot escape the consequences of deliberate insubordination. This case reinforces the principle of “obey now and grieve later” while clarifying the limits of mitigation in disciplinary proceedings. The judgment provides guidance for employers and employees across all sectors regarding the delicate balance between considering length of service and maintaining workplace discipline.

What if an employer dismisses a medically incapacitated employee without investigating reasonable accommodation such as alternative duties?

In this episode of our "What if" series, we unpack a costly lesson for employers: incapacity is not misconduct, and dismissal for ill health is only fair if it is genuinely the last resort.

We examine the recent Labour Court judgment in Solidarity v Cape Peninsula University of Technology and Others, in which the dismissal of a long-serving administrator suffering from anxiety, depression and physical injuries was declared substantively unfair — at a cost of eleven months' remuneration, just under R498,000, in compensation.

The discussion covers:
Why an incapacity enquiry must rest on a proper medical foundation, not a performance narrative dressed up in medical language.

Why the duty to accommodate lives in the present — historical transfers will not discharge an employer's obligations during the actual incapacity process.Why medical boarding is an obvious alternative to dismissal that must be meaningfully engaged with, even if raised late and even if the employer doubts it will succeed.Where the onus lies: it is for the employer to prove that dismissal was truly the last resort

Whether you are an HR practitioner, line manager, employer or employee navigating ill-health incapacity, this episode offers practical guidance under the Code of Good Practice: Dismissal.

What if a single emoji in a work email could cost you your job?

In this episode of our "What if" series, we unpack a recent Labour Court decision in which an employee's disrespectful emails — including a reference to a "fist emoji" and a menacing remark aimed at a colleague who had been assaulted at work — formed part of the misconduct that ended his career.

We look at how the courts treat tone and electronic communication in the workplace, why context can turn an ordinary message into serious misconduct, what happens when an employee relies on a document that turns out to be fabricated, and when an employer may lawfully proceed with a disciplinary hearing in an employee's absence.

Key takeaways for employers and employees alike:

• How you communicate is itself conduct — emails, messages, even emojis can amount to misconduct.
• Context is everything — the same words can be harmless in one setting and menacing in another.
• If you rely on a document, be ready to prove it's genuine; the onus sits with you.
• Fair warning matters before a hearing proceeds in an employee's absence.
