Labour disputes in South Africa are governed mainly by the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act. Most dismissal disputes start at the CCMA or a bargaining council, and the time limits are short: an unfair dismissal dispute must generally be referred within 30 days of the dismissal. Labour lawyers act for both employees and employers.
Conciliation and arbitration happen at the CCMA or a bargaining council, and the Labour Court, which hears dismissal disputes that cannot be settled there, sits in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Gqeberha. The nearest CCMA office is in Durban, about 40 km away: CCMA Durban, 1st and 3rd Floors, Aquasky Building, 275 Anton Lembede Street, Durban, 4001. The nearest Legal Aid SA office is in Verulam, about 19 km away: Legal Aid SA Verulam Local Office, Suite 1, 1st Floor, Ayesha Razak Centre, 23 Groom Street, Verulam, 4340. Legal Aid helps people who pass its means test, mainly in criminal, family and eviction matters.
Generally 30 days from the date of dismissal to the CCMA or bargaining council. Late referrals need a condonation application, so act quickly.
At conciliation, legal representation is usually not allowed. At arbitration it depends on the type of dispute and the commissioner's ruling. A labour lawyer can still prepare you for every stage.
Compare the firms listed above, ask whether they act for employees, employers or both, and check if they offer a first consultation to assess your case.
