- Description
- All employers at some point in time may find themselves under pressure, facing financial challenges, which may force them into contemplating some reductions in their operating costs. This could result in an exercise that may entail restructuring the wage bill. This in turn could eventually result in the dismissal of employees for operational reasons. The concept of job security is a new phenomenon in the labour market and with localisation and the economic crisis that have caused businesses to become competitive, workers face the threat of losing jobs daily. It must be stated that the International Labour Organisation (hereinafter referred to as ILO), which is an international body responsible for developing principles and guidelines which regulate labour relations in the world, had only in 1963 taken some steps to give due regard to the law that seek to promote employment security1. Until then, the common law dictated the nature of the relationship with regard to the rules that govern the termination of employment. The study will further investigate the international trends in the embedding of the Convention of Termination of Employment. Against this context, this treatise seeks to highlight the work done to further provide measures of employment security for workers facing dismissal based on operational requirements. The study will examine the role of the Commission for the Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (hereinafter referred to as CCMA), an impartial body in South Africa, whose main function is to prevent and resolve labour disputes, as well as to mitigate job losses in the context of operational requirements dismissals.
