New Amendments to Labour Legislation

labour-guideThe President assented to the Labour Relations Amendment Act on 17 August 2014. The Department of Labour indicated that they are currently working on the regulations that will accompany the newly-signed law before it is promulgated.

In addition The Department of Labour indicated that they will approach the President with the hope that it would be signed before the beginning of October 2014.

Labour Guide received numerous requests for training on this subject matter. We are committed to deliver a quality service that offers the best value for delegates and have decided not to commence with training before there are more clarity or before the actual date of promulgation.  We believe that it will be more beneficial to delegates to work with facts rather than to speculate on dates of a possible date for promulgation.

Kindly follow this link for more information and/or the outline of the workshop.  Labour Guide will commence with training once the new amendments are promulgated “Preliminary” bookings can also be made by completing the relevant booking form.

We will contact with you and inform you of the confirmed date as soon as available. (hopefully before 1 October 2014)
