Initiating a Section 189
Restructuring Process
2-day course
Employees may have concerns, complaints, dissatisfaction or a feeling of injustice related to workplace relationships or the work environment. All of these issues need to be addressed by management.
Why is this course important?
The S189 of the LRA permits employers to dismiss employees for operational requirements based on economic needs (eg, financial management), technological needs (eg, introduction of new technology), structural needs (eg, the reduction of posts due to restructuring) or similar needs of the employer.
An employer who employs 50 or less employees is subject to the process (set out in section 189 of the LRA) that sets out what their procedural and substantive obligations are to maintain a fair retrenchment process.
This course will give an in-depth understanding of the process and how to respond to it.
Who is this course aimed at?
Line Managers, Human Resource Professionals, Unions, Employees.
Are there any prerequisites for attending this course?
None.
