'Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler.’ (Albert Einstein) The authors of this book firmly believe in this principle. This book aims to explain labour law as simply as possible without losing the essence and importance of labour law rules in the workplace. This book uses plain and understandable language and practical examples to explain concepts. Visual aids such as tables or graphics and mind maps will explain difficult concepts further. In a nutshell, this book is an essential tool for any keen student or reader on the topic.

This well-established labour law text has been updated to reflect the law as of September 2020. LABOUR LAW Rules! provides an accessible and clear discussion of all relevant labour, employment equity, social security and related legislation. The book brings law and practice together. The text is supplemented with visual aids, examples and case law to clarify concepts.

The book is aimed principally at students who engage with labour law for the first time during their BCom and LLB studies. The book will also be helpful for HR and IR personnel, project managers, supervisors and union officials.

The contents are divided into four parts discussing individual labour law, collective labour law, social security law and other labour laws.

The common law contract of employment is the basis of the relationship. The book explains how the Constitution, the BCEA, the NMWA, the LRA as well as the EEA supplement the relationship. The legal protection afforded to employees, including non-standard employees, is clarified. Dismissal, unfair labour practices, discrimination, harassment and the impact of transfers of a business on employers and employees alike are explained with reference to recent statutory and case developments. The book includes an analysis of collective labour law. Aspects such as collective bargaining, collective agreements, bargaining agents (for example, trade unions) and workplace forums are covered. The legal requirements for protected strikes, lock-outs, picketing and protest action are dissected and explained with reference to case law and practical examples.

An important aspect of labour law that is often overlooked in the academic context is social security measures that impact on the workplace. The book covers the OHSA, MHSA, COIDA and UIA. The book concludes with an overview of so-called non-core labour legislation such as the Employment Services Act, the Skills Development Act, the Employment Tax Incentive Act, the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communications-Related Information Act and the Protection of Personal Information Act.

Additional recommended reading is provided in a separate annexure for the keen reader.

This book not only reflects on the rules of labour law but also shows that labour law, in the modern workplace, rules! 

This thoroughly updated Fourth Edition is completely current with reference to the latest in legislation and case law.

Endorsement for the Fourth Edition

This thoroughly updated Fourth Edition renders it completely current, with reference to the latest in legislation and case law.
The book successfully lays a sound basis for basic labour law. Moreover, it enables students to integrate various concepts and sources in order to develop critical analytical skills. In this way, the book enables emerging scholars to assist in shaping future workplace laws. The book can also be used gainfully by IR and HR practitioners, project managers, supervisors, union officials or anybody interested in getting a basic overview of the labour law landscape. The book provides recommended reading for those who are keen to explore topics further.
The innovative approach again breaks new ground in the accessible dissemination of labour law. As a teacher and practical user of labour law in my policy and professional work, I am delighted to endorse and recommend this book. I have no doubt that all readers will enjoy using it and find it practical and helpful.
