IF YOU ARE AN EMPLOYER, THIS IS A BOOK YOU CANNOT DO WITHOUT.
Few names are as well known in the area of labour law as that of Andrew Levy. In this book Levy and his co-authors apply their vast experience of South African labour law for the benefit of the average manager who has a million things to do but also has to be able to cope with everything demanded by labour legislation in this country. South African labour law is generally seen as rigid and difficult to administer, but with the right guidance it is not as daunting as it seems. All a manager needs to do is to understand the context of the law in which he or she is operating, and apply the principles fairly and consistently. Andrew Levy’s Labour Law in Practice is not a law textbook – it is written in easy to understand language and describes situations that most managers are familiar with. In many cases Levy recommends avoiding a legal solution to staffing issues. It covers the essential labour law areas:
• Hiring new staff
• Managing staff attendance, leave and remuneration
• Terminating employment contracts
• How to handle poor performance or misconduct
• Dealing with unions and strikes
THE AUTHORS Andrew Levy founded Andrew Levy and Associates in 1978. It soon became the country’s leading labour relations and labour law consultancy, specialising in dismissals, training, strike management and employment advice. Levy sold this company in 2002, and now operates under the banner of Andrew Levy Employment where he and his team continue to provide cutting edge labour relations consultancy and employment advice, training, dismissal management and consultancy in labour law. Levy has been at the forefront of labour relations in South Africa, and is a well-known teacher, writer, arbitrator, broadcaster and commentator on South African labour and employment. He is joined in the practice by his son Daniel Levy, who specialises in the running of disciplinary hearings and dismissal disputes. Jackie Kelly provides research services and edits the Wage Settlement Survey, which reports on wage agreements and settlement levels, as well as the Industrial Action Monitor, which produces data on strikes and similar labour issues.
