Each year, South African labour law shifts and evolves in interesting and complex ways. For labour law and HR practitioners, missing a change or misunderstanding the impact of a development could cost time, money, or reputational harm.
In a special COVID-19 Aftermath and Employment law recorded webinar, our panel of renowned experts outline the core employment issues arising from COVID-19, cover the practical application of key principles, and provide a current survey of statutory developments and important case law.
Juta’s Annual Labour Law Update 2020, celebrating its 20th year, will deliver a practical analysis of current developments in all the critical areas of labour law via ten 15 to 20 minute videos, which delegates can engage with at their own pace prior to the live event. The live event will cover key legislative and case law developments and trends and policy shifts that have directly impacted the workplace, drawing on emerging cases. Our panel will also focus on highlights from the mini-webinars.
Delegates are invited to submit their burning questions prior to the 1 December live event for comprehensive coverage during an interactive question and answer panel discussion.
