A solid working knowledge of the BCEA is an essential requirement for any manager, supervisor or payroll administrator. By properly understanding how this important piece of legislation governs the basic day-to-day aspects of the employment relationship significant savings in time and resources can be made in response to the typically occurring issues that employees present during the course of employment. Starting with the basics of the BCEA we will be covering the key components of the legislation, including working hours, overtime, statutory leave provisions, medical certificates, notice periods and payments on termination.

Despite the relatively straight-forward nature of the legislation itself, there are some very commonly occurring problems that can start to seriously hamper a business if they are not dealt with decisively and quickly. This session promises to be both pragmatic and informative and will be based on numerous examples arising out of case law, and the most effective manner to apply these legal principles to real-world examples. If you are not sure about the mechanisms of the BCEA, and particularly overtime, leave, notice periods and the powers of labour inspectors then attend this sessions to get the fast-track to labour relations enlightenment.
