A recent Constitutional Court judgment removes a procedural buffer that employers in large-scale retrenchments used to be able to rely on: a failed facilitation can now proceed straight to the Labour Court, with no conciliation stage in between.

Every Employment Equity reporting cycle until now has been preparation. From 1 September, designated employers will for the first time be measured against the targets in their own EE plans.
