Not automatically.

Employees do not have an automatic right to legal representation at an internal disciplinary hearing.

Whether legal representation should be allowed depends on the circumstances, the complexity of the matter and the employer's disciplinary procedures.

Making the wrong decision can affect the fairness of the process.

Need advice before making a ruling on representation?
Contact Negotia Labour Practitioners to ensure your disciplinary process remains fair and defensible.

Hoe lank moet ek werknemers se personeellรชers hou?

Langer as wat baie werkgewers besef.

Personeellรชers bevat belangrike dokumente soos dienskontrakte, dissiplinรชre rekords, verlofrekords en betaalstaatinligting.

Verskillende wetgewing, insluitend die BCEA en POPIA, beรฏnvloed hoe lank sekere rekords bewaar moet word en hoe dit veilig gestoor moet word.

Onseker oor jou rekordbewaring of POPIA-verpligtinge?
Negotia Labour Practitioners help werkgewers om hul HR-rekords veilig, wettig en prakties te bestuur.

Not always.

An employer may have some flexibility to change an employee's duties, particularly where the changes are reasonable and fall within the nature of the employee's role.

But a significant change to duties, responsibilities, status or other employment terms can be more complicated.

Before making the change, check the employment contract and consider whether consultation or agreement is required.

Thinking about changing an employee's role? Contact Negotia Labour Practitioners before implementing the change.

Mag ek 'n werknemer vra om 'n leuenverklikkertoets te ondergaan?
Nie sommer nie.

'n Werkgewer kan nie 'n werknemer dwing om 'n leuenverklikkertoets af te lรช of uitsluitlik op die uitslag daarvan staatmaak om dissiplinรชre stappe te neem nie.

So 'n toets kan slegs deel vorm van 'n groter ondersoek en moet altyd saam met ander bewysmateriaal oorweeg word.

As jy onseker is oor hoe om verdagte gedrag te ondersoek sonder om jou saak te benadeel, kontak Negotia Labour Practitioners vir praktiese leiding.

Can I use CCTV footage in a disciplinary hearing?
Yes, provided it was lawfully obtained and is relevant to the allegation being investigated.

CCTV footage can be valuable evidence, but employers should ensure it is authentic, complete and presented fairly during the disciplinary process.
The employee should also have an opportunity to respond to the evidence.

Not sure whether your CCTV footage will stand up to scrutiny?
Contact Negotia Labour Practitioners before your disciplinary hearing.

Not usually.
Working hours are generally a term and condition of employment.
While some operational changes may be possible, changing an employee's hours without proper consultation or agreement can expose an employer to legal risk and unnecessary workplace conflict.
Before changing working hours, consider the reason for the change, the employment contract and the practical impact on the employee.

Thinking about changing working hours?
Let's discuss the correct process before you make a decision.

Potentially, yes.
The key questions are what happened, whether there is evidence, whether workplace standards were clear and whether a fair disciplinary process is followed.
Reacting emotionally instead of investigating properly can weaken an otherwise strong case.

Don't panic, but don't ignore it.

Don't assume they've resigned.

An employee who fails to return after sick leave may be absent without leave, medically unfit for work, or potentially have deserted their position.
Each situation requires a different approach and the wrong decision can expose an employer to risk.

Probation does not mean an employee has no rights.
Before considering dismissal, the employee should understand the required standard, receive guidance where appropriate and be given a fair opportunity to improve.
A rushed probation dismissal can still result in a dispute.
