This is part 1 of a 3 part interview shot with one our clients, who experienced an extreme case of employer bad behaviour. His matter occurred in August 2017 to February 2018.

In terms of the Labour Relations Act (LRA) suspension without pay is illegal in South Africa. In this video we discuss a real case example which covers illegal suspension at the workplace. According to the CCMA, the period of suspension must be fair and reasonable.

We also go through what action steps to take and a letter that you can send when you have been suspended from work.
