- Description: The aim of this study is to investigate the employee turnover of educators in the Butterworth Education District. In order to achieve this goal, it was necessary to review the literature on human resource management. The motivation of job satisfaction was used to utilise the full potential people so as to ensure quality products and services. This is a very complex issue owing to the wide range of internal and external factors that impact on it. The study employed a literature study to examine the employee turnover. Moreover, the study discussed the types, consequences and factors influencing employee turnover. It also discussed retaining strategies, steps to manage employee turnover and methods to reduce employee turnover. The findings of the study revealed that an overview of human resource management plays a key role in determining the survival, effectiveness and competitiveness of an organisation. Factors influencing employee turnover determine employee turnover, and one of these is the labour market, which is determined by economic conditions. The findings also revealed that the causes and consequences of employee turnover can impact both negatively and positively to the organisation. Thus, the management of the Department of Education should perhaps adopt intervention strategies to control the main factors. In this regard, the study made recommendations for the motivation of educators in carrying out the core business of teaching and learning. This would involve the adequate allocation of all resources and benefits that surround teaching and learning and the introduction of a retention policy, which might encourage qualified and productive employees to continue working for the Department and reduce the unwanted voluntary turnover of valuable employees.

- Description: Labour law is a system of rules regulating the labour force in the society. These rules of labour are legal rules and are legally enforceable which means that if there is a breach of rules a party may approach a court of law or any other institution to obtain relief in respect of the breach of the rules. As a large percentage of the population at any given time in the world is involved with employment relationship, the labour relationships between employer and employee cannot be ignored as it affects both socio-economic and political factors in our society. Labour Law in general focuses on various relationships, including the relationship between the employer and employee, between the employer and a trade union or a group of employees, employers and employers’ organization. From the foregoing it can be deduced that there are two components of labour law which must be distinguished, namely individual and collective labour. The individual relationship focuses on the relationship between the employer and the employee while collective labour laws deal with matters such as legal nature of trade unions (and employers’ organization), the legal nature and enforceability of collective agreements, collective bargaining institutions and the legal consequences that flow from strikes, lock outs and other forms of industrial action. Collective labour law can therefore be said to be the body of rules which regulates the following collective relationships between: • employees and the trade union they belong to • employers and employers’ organization • employers and /or employers organization and trade unions • the government and trade unions • the government and employers organization However the collective labour law cannot be said to be absolute but is interdependent with individual labour law because the collectively agreed terms become part of the individual employment relation. This study mainly focuses on the collective labour aspect of the labour law system which shall be discussed in detail in the chapters to follow.
