Do medical certificates issued by traditional healers have to be accepted by employers? While there does not appear to be an obligation to do so at present, indications are that it will be soon become a reality.
The Minister of Home Affairs announced a further extension for Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP) holders until 28 November 2025. But what about other undocumented foreigners in your employ?
May an employer use behavioural characteristics (e.g. initiative, enthusiasm and determination) as criteria to select employees for retrenchment?
May employers exclude candidates for employment based on the fact that they have a criminal record, or may an employee be dismissed if the employer discovers that an employee has a criminal record?
COSATU gave notice to NEDLAC of their intention to embark on nation-wide protest action on Monday, 7 October 2024. What does this mean for employers?
If an employer contemplates dismissing employees based on operational requirements (retrenchment), the Labour Relations Act (LRA) requires the employer to follow certain procedures. However, may an employer approach employees informally and strike a deal by signing a mutual separation agreement, thereby avoiding the legal technicalities of the LRA?
What about a Clinic letter. Is that acceptable to claim “sick leave”
A clinic letter does not have to be accepted as proof of incapacity, unless it has been issued and signed by a medical practitioner or other person who is certified to diagnose and treat patients and who is registered with a professional council established by an Act of Parliament.
I m totally against this new development in our labour law. Pastors, Sangoma, Inyanda, Prophets etc, they cant…yes…they cant HEAL sick people. People who rely wholey on invisible things like ancestral spirits or any other type of spirits “for healing” or do “perform their work – miracles”, will be difficult to be held accountable through legislative powers or by the government of the day.
in case where traditional healers will be considered is there any chance that prophets and priests medical certificates wil also be considered as they also heal people?
