Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about South African labour relations, compliance, and our consulting services.

Ad hoc services are billed hourly or per project (ideal for one-off tasks like drafting a contract or chairing a single disciplinary hearing). A monthly retainer offers unlimited consultation, ongoing compliance management, and priority support for a flat monthly fee with no lock-in contract.

Yes, in accordance with the CCMA Rules, our experienced employee relations consultants can assist and represent employers at CCMA and Bargaining Council conciliation and arbitration proceedings under designated guidelines.

A WSP outlines the training your business plans to provide in the coming year, while the ATR documents the training that actually took place. Submitting these reports to your SETA ensures compliance and allows your business to claim back up to 20% of your Skills Development Levy (SDL).

Under South African labour legislation, designated employers are required to submit EE reports. However, even for non-designated smaller businesses, having structured employment equity plans and policies is highly recommended to manage compliance, secure B-BBEE points, and prepare for future growth.

In South Africa, a dismissal must be both substantively fair (a valid reason related to conduct, capacity, or operational requirements) and procedurally fair (following a correct disciplinary process, providing a hearing, and giving the employee a chance to defend themselves). EmpPro guides you through every step to ensure full legal compliance.
