Probation and probation related dismissals in the CCMA.
By Johanette Rheeder
Many employment contracts contain probation clauses as a general rule and during the course of those first, new months of employment, the new employee is finding her feet and trying to fit into the new work culture. However, at some stage the employee is expected to fit in, perform and become productive in his position. Employers tend to give attention to this clause only when the new employee is not performing and they are looking for avenues to correct behaviour or to terminate employment. The South African labour law relating to probation is led by Schedule 8 of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 – guideline on probation: This does not form part of Legislation; however, it is binding on employers as the guideline is accepted as the basis for fair conduct.
