Can an employer dismiss for misconduct in South Africa?
Yes, but only if the employer follows a substantively justified and procedurally fair process. WLC helps employers structure the investigation, charges, hearing and outcome correctly.

No. Workplace Law Chambers acts exclusively for employers, companies, business owners and HR managers. That employer-only focus is a core differentiator.
What does the monthly retainer include?
The retainer is designed around ongoing access to experienced labour law advisors for contracts, policies, hearings, disputes, compliance questions and urgent day-to-day labour decisions.
Do you handle CCMA and Bargaining Council matters nationally?
Yes. WLC supports employer clients across South Africa with dispute strategy, documentation, preparation and representation.
