CCMA

Employment disputes rarely resolve themselves. When a worker believes they've been unfairly dismissed, or an employer faces a wage claim or discrimination complaint, the outcome depends on presenting evidence and arguments clearly. The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) exists precisely for this—offering a faster, cheaper alternative to court litigation. What separates strong cases from weak ones is understanding what documentation matters: written employment contracts, payslips, warning letters, medical certificates, communication records. Someone bringing a dismissal claim needs to know which facts actually count under labour law; an employer defending a position needs to understand burden of proof. The CCMA's Sandton office handles disputes from Johannesburg's employment-heavy areas, and getting proper advice on case preparation—not just filing and hoping—makes a real difference in outcomes.
