    • Antwoord aan Johan: In die geval van “Retrenchment” is die werkgewer verplig om eers ‘n billike konsultasieproses te volg. Indien daar tog diensbeëindiging volg, is jy geregtig op kennis ingevolge die dienskontrak of uitbetaling daarvan, verlofgeld en ‘n skeidingsloon gebaseerop ten minste een week se loon vir elke jaar gewerk.
