I was dismissed for smoking dagga whilst not on duty ina nush and without any proof of intoxication or prejudice caused to the employer. I was subjected to a disciplinary hearing and the results where withheld from me deliberately. My manager dismissed me citing the outcome of the hearing as the basis for dismissal which turned out to be a lie. I need help because the employer has a bond over my house as a result of their unilateral actions. As a consumer i now have been prejudiced by this action as I can no longer afford the bond. I will lose my home because of smoking. I want to challenge the employers decision as fraud. It is unfair and discrimination. Please help. Thanks
I am writing to seek your assistance with a matter concerning my recent termination of employment. Following my dismissal, I noticed that certain deductions were made from my payslip. Despite my efforts to resolve the issue, my former employer is unwilling to release the remaining amount owed to me. Given the circumstances, I would greatly appreciate any legal support or advice you could provide in addressing this matter.
Was accused of something i didnt do, transferred to another facility, pending an investigation that should have lasted 60 days but dragged for about 3 years Trying- only for them to write me a letter saying they are withdrawing their accusations This letter was not even sent to me but to the union representing me. With no reasons attached. I want to sue a government district facility for emotionally, mentally abusing me causing loss of work opportunities, denied accelerated performance growth and violating my dignity. I was so depressed and embarrassed for 3 years straight, working but my mind was completely not there. I will send proof of the case and their withdrawal and anything relevant if I get the right lawyer.
I am seeking legal representation for an upcoming CCMA arbitration case against my former employer, Muza Foods t/a Chicken Licken Bethlehem. Below is a summary of my situation: Case Overview: · Dismissal: I was dismissed on 7 August after raising complaints about unpaid wages and unlawful deductions, which I believe was retaliatory (automatic unfair dismissal under LRA S(1)(d)). · Procedural Unfairness: The disciplinary hearing was chaired by HR Manager Leanna Peters, who ignored evidence and is now a material witness, creating a conflict of interest. · Post-Dismissal Victimization: The employer unlawfully withheld my final wages (R1,.00) in violation of BCEA Section 38. The HR manager explicitly stated this was due to my CCMA case, constituting victimization under LRA S(2). · Current Status: The case (CCMA Reference: FSBF-25) is set for arbitration. I have filed an objection to the employer's representation by Ms. Peters due to her dual role as witness and advocate. Key Evidence: · Dismissal letter and disciplinary notice. · WhatsApp messages and emails proving victimization. · CCMA referral documents and correspondence. Desired Outcome: · Maximum compensation for automatic unfair dismissal and victimization (seeking up to 24 months' remuneration). · Payment of outstanding wages (R1,.00). I have a well-organized evidence file and believe my case is strong. I request your assistance to represent me at the arbitration and ensure a fair outcome.
Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to enquire if I have a case on the brief summary below and if its possible to secure legal representation for a dismissal case Brief Background: Position: Senior Delivery Manager Data Science Company: Start Date: 29 April Original End Date: 31 December (fixed-term contract) Notice of Termination: 5 September Last Working Day Given: 30 September Reason Stated: Budget constraints, I was informed that they are looking to reallocate the budget for my role with a Senior Developer/Analyst to cover technical gaps within the team and that my role will not be of benefit. However, they had just hired a new Programme Manager on the 1st of September in the same week I was terminated. No formal consultation, performance concerns, or disciplinary process preceded my termination. Line manager confirmed it is not due to performance issues on my end but solely based on the budget constraints and his need to reallocate my budget. Prior to this, I lost my child (4 June ) shortly after I joined and have experienced emotional distress and blame for teams shortfalls and humiliation for mostly items I wasnt aware of, including threats of having my contract terminated, being reprimanded like a child etc. I raised concerns about my line managers ways of work to the Excutive Information Office who was previously my line manager but my grief was weaponised against me instead and was put of forced leave for 1 week. I have some documentation from some meetings that I could get a hold of, including a medical certificate issued on 16 July a week after I was placed on forced leave due to the complaint I had made about my new line manager's ways of work. I was on sick leave due to depression and anxiety added by the EIO and line managers aggressive ways of communication. I am looking for legal advice and/or representation to: Assist and represent me with CCMA proceedings if this qualifies. May you kindly advise if you take on cases of this nature, and your availability for a consultation as well as your fee structure or hourly rates including any documentation you would like me to forward in advance.
I was sold out by a union that represented me on march this year.i was unfairly dismissed with the company I worked for fifteen years.the union promised to forward the matter to bargaining council.i found out later that there was no such.and bargaining council withdraw the case because it was late.and there was no valid reason why the case was late .I find myself being oppressed by my company and the union I paid for fifteen years.
I was paid short on my salary I queried with my manager and she swore at me I proceeded to ask the other manager she was new to our unit she then claimed my money was not paid short but that the previous manager did not do the payroll system correctly and furthermore I owe the company 77 hours which will be deducted from my next salary. She failed to inform me that she detected errors on the payroll system and just said I was paid in advance for shifts I didn't work yet I didn't give consent to any deductions and none of that information was disclosed to me when I started working that I was being paid in advance. I was employed on a month to month contract basis and my contract expired on August 31st. I went into work on the 1st of September and did not sign a new contract I did not return to work again I resigned. I made a case at my local ccma and the company notified me they are objecting to arbitration please advise

I got this Job last year (), I believe that the Business is registered. I got this Job around September/October , after the business was busted by the Dept: Labor & Home affairs officials. The Owner was forced to relieve all his Zimbabwean employees, who were all undocumented & paid far below the minimum wage. The Boss had no choice but to employ us SA Citizens. 1 year plus in this business, I still haven't signed any contract while others have signed. We work 6 days per week including weekends. We get paid R2 . 69 per fortnight . This R2 .69 is fixed, whether there are holidays or not, it's just the same. We work from 8:00-05:30. My worry is that After leaving this job for whatever reason/s in the future I will not get any Provident fund nor UIF... Now my plan is to continue working since jobs are hard to find. I'm thinking of the ways to hold my Boss accountable for exploitation in 2 or 3 years time from now... As of now I have a medical certificate not to come to work today but because of No Work No Pay principle I'm forced to come to work...
