In South Africa, labor law plays a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics of work, influencing everything from employment contracts to collective bargaining and dispute resolution.
At the core of South Africa’s labor law system lies a commitment to upholding the constitutional rights of every individual, including the right to fair labor practices, equality, and dignity. These principles are embedded in a comprehensive legal framework that seeks to promote decent work, safeguard job security, and support workplace equity and transformation.

This refers to dismissal based on prohibited grounds such as union membership, pregnancy, whistleblowing, or discrimination. These are treated more seriously and attract greater legal consequences.
