Employment law guidance for employers

The effects of employment disputes

Employment disputes present risks for employers of all sizes. We know that employment disputes are emotional and complex in nature, and approaching them incorrectly can lead to internal backlash and reputational harm for you and your business, while not acting at all could make the problem even worse.

They can involve allegations of discrimination, retrenchments, employment contracts, injury-on-duty claims and internal hearings. Employees enjoy a large number of statutory rights under which they can pursue claims against you as an employer, under a broad range of circumstances.
