Overview
Over the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly changed the business world. A lot of businesses have had to shut down while some had to scale down their operations in order to stay afloat.
As an employer, how do you ensure ethical workforce reduction that will not have you end up at the CCMA? Do you have the right of appearance at CCMA hearings or the Labour Court?
Enter the South African United Employers Organisation (SAUEO), a Department of Labour registered employer organisation that is expert in HR and IR matters.
SAUEO was initially formed with the main purpose of being the mouthpiece for SMEs on various platforms. Fast-forward 22 years, SAUEO now has 4500 members of all sizes and types across all sectors of the economy. Some of the benefits enjoyed by SAUEO members include:
-
Access to IR and HR experts.
-
Access to the right of appearance at labour related hearings.
-
Access to an online portal with many HR templates.
SAAA is presenting this webinar in conjunction with SAUEO to show how accountants and the labour industry can collaborate for the benefit of both parties. Our technical expert Caryn Maitland CA(SA) will have a panel discussion with labour law expert Willian George Jonker on 03 May 2021 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Join us for this webinar, the first of its kind, where labour meets accountants for a mutually beneficial collaboration!
