#022 Fun with the BCEA
15m · Published
Often regarded as a dull piece of legislation, Andrew looks at the intricacies of the BCEA dealing as it does with everyday work issues and having the greatest influence on the employer.
He discusses the importance of the definitions, the distinction between wage and remuneration, how ‘ordinary’ hours of work are defined, "use it or lose it" policies for leave, changing hours of work and why most incentives and bonuses are not discretionary. Leave and absence, sick leave and medical certificates, terminations, the issue of short time and the 13th
cheque are all part of the mixed bag. Website

12m · Published
Listen to what Andrew has to say about government and in particular the outcome of the 2022 Eskom wage negotiations.
Why Eskom’s negotiation strategy went wrong from the start, lacking credibility and leading to unlawful strike action - when as an essential service, wage arbitration could have saved the day.
Why government saw fit to intervene and significantly took a strong and critical stance against the unions and its members.
Why government intervention in a strike situation is not recommended and how the forced settlement at Eskom will affect upcoming negotiations in the public sector and set a serious precedent.
