Child Custody Tip: Put the Child's Routine First

When discussing child custody arrangements, focus on creating stability for your child. Consistent routines for school, homework, activities, and family time often help children adjust better during periods of change. A parenting plan that prioritises the child's needs is more likely to succeed than one based on the parents' conflict.

RETRENCHMENT TIP ⚖️

Employees nearing their 40s and 50s often face significant financial pressure when retrenchment becomes a possibility. Before signing any retrenchment package or agreement, make sure you understand your legal rights and financial position.

An employer must follow a fair consultation process before retrenching employees. In some cases, alternatives to retrenchment should first be considered.

Do not assume that you have no options simply because the company says restructuring is necessary.

Early legal advice can help you protect your income, benefits and future opportunities.

LABOUR LAW TIP FOR EMPLOYERS ⚖️

Ignoring poor work performance can become expensive for a business.

If an employee is struggling to meet required standards, employers should address the issue early through proper counselling, guidance and written performance management procedures.

Immediate dismissal without following a fair process may expose a business to an unfair dismissal claim at the CCMA.

Proper procedure matters just as much as the reason for dismissal.
