About the course
South African labour law has undergone significant changes in recent years, including amendments to key acts and an increased focus on employment equity. Employers, legal professionals, and HR practitioners must keep up with these legislative updates to ensure compliance, mitigate legal risks, and resolve disputes effectively.
The Practical Labour Law online short course from the University of Cape Town (UCT) provides a comprehensive overview of the local employment law landscape, covering the various acts, employer and employee rights and responsibilities, and important concepts related to contracting, dismissal, retrenchment, and workplace discrimination. With the guidance of expert labour relations specialist Pieter Koornhof, you’ll develop skills to navigate the complexities of labour law and apply them in their current roles.
Throughout the course, practical scenarios will illustrate legal concepts, enabling you to gain valuable knowledge and skills they can use immediately in their professional contexts.
