- Description
- Historically, employers utilised non-standard or atypical forms of employment in order to avoid statutory obligations in respect of these employees, and in turn justify differential treatment of said employees.1 As a result, non-standard employees were not on the same footing as their permanent counterparts. They were not remunerated on the same level, were not privy to advancement and training opportunities, and did not enjoy a sense of job security due to the ease at which their employment could be terminated, rendering them a vulnerable class of workers.2 There was pandemonium in the employment sphere of society due to the abusive practices faced by employees employed in terms of Temporary Employment Services, this was accompanied by a call to ban labour broking. The legislature, while acknowledging the important role that this form of employment plays in the labour market and broader economy, opted for increased regulation of this and other types of non-standard employment; instead of an outright ban. As a result thereof, the Labour Relations Act3 was amended by the Labour Relations Amendment Act,4 with a view of improving the regulation and protection of employees engaged in these forms of non-standard or atypical employment. This study seeks to determine whether the amendments have achieved the purpose of enhancing the job security of these employees.
