Legal Framework

Legislation that applies

baseline compliance for every employer.

BCEA & LRA

The BCEA and LRA set minimum standards for every employment relationship. An audit verifies your contracts, payroll, leave, hours and dismissal procedures meet them — before a CCMA case shows they don't.

workplace safety compliance.

Occupational Health & Safety Act

The OHSA requires a safe working environment, safety committees at 50+ employees, accident records, and compliance with industry-specific regulations. Non-compliance brings DOL enforcement action and director liability.
