Recently the labour court handed down a judgment in which it had to consider whether dismissal for insubordination was an appropriate sanction for employees who refused to obey an instruction to work overtime. The case raised important questions relating to overtime and highlighted an important aspect of section 10 of the BCEA.


Employment Law experts Director Fiona Leppan and Associate Kgodisho Phashe, joined CDH Conversations to discuss the recent judgement.
