Know your rights

The law recognises and endorses the employers' right to terminate employment relationship due to among others, operational requirements of the business.  This type of dismissal has been categorised as a "no fault" dismissal in that it is the employer's business hardship that leads to termination of employment and it is not the employee who is responsible for the parting of ways.

Dismissal based on operational requirements include  examples of economic reasons that relate to the financial management of the enterprise, technological reasons that refer to the introduction of new technology which affect work relationship either by making jobs redundant and requires restructuring of the workplace and structural reasons that relate to the redundancy of posts.
