Dismissal deals with all the issues that may arise when employers decide to dispense with the services of their employees. Beginning with the ’conventional’ dismissals – termination by the employer with or without notice – the book goes on to investigate the many other forms of dismissal now recognised in South African labour legislation, such as automatically unfair dismissals, constructive dismissals, selective re-employment, and failure to renew fixed-term contracts. The procedural requirements governing the various forms of dismissal are also described in detail, as are the remedies available to unfairly dismissed employees. This volume is a companion to three others (Employment Rights, Collective Labour Law,and Labour Litigation and Dispute Resolution), which together provide a comprehensive overview of the entire body of current labour law.
