The CCMA Rules have changed.
On the 21 April 2023, the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) published amendments to the Rules for CCMA proceedings, which have amendment and
additions you should know about.
Thursday, 8th June 2023, 2pm – 3:30 pm SAST
What are the important changes to these Rules which came into effect the day after publication. What should you look out for, when either referring a matter to the CCMA, or conducting both conciliation and arbitration proceedings.
Join us on the 8th June 2023, at 2 pm for one and a half hours, to go through the most important changes you need to be aware of. Since these rules are already in effect and most of the forms have been changed, make sure you follow the right process. You don't want your matter to be rejected on the basis that you are following both the old rules and have completed the wrong forms.
The most important changes we will cover are:
- The introduction of the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 (POPIA) and how this act is introduced to protect employees' information. The act is reflected on most of the referral forms.
- How the CCMA will deal with condonations
- What to do, if you want the matter postponed and what deadlines must be complied with, in order to secure a postponement
- How to make sure your paper-work is served properly on the other party and correctly filed with the CCMA
- Non-attendance for an arbitration, what happens if the referring party does not attend?
- What form of payment the CCMA will accept?
- Changes to picketing rules
We will also cover some of the other minor amendments and show you some of the changes to the referral forms.
Join Marleen Potgieter, a labour lawyer, who had practised for many years as such, and owner of Equity Works for a webinar to answer any questions you might have around the proposed changes.
