SUBJECT: GAZETTED AMENDED CCMA RULES AND FORMS COME INTO EFFECT ON MONDAY, 24 APRIL 2023
The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) is pleased to announce that its amended Rules and Forms that were promulgated on Friday, 21 April 2023 are now in force effective Monday, 24 April 2023.
The CCMA is empowered by section 115 of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (the LRA) to at least every second year, review any Rules made in terms of s115 of the LRA and make Rules to regulate amongst others, the items listed in section 115 subsection (2A).
The amendments also serve to ensure alignment to key case law, any practice and procedure changes within the CCMA and to ensure compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). The process was a culmination of extensive research and thorough consultation with key stakeholders, such as the CCMA Governing Body, CCMA Commissioners and the Rules Task Team.
“I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the Rules Task Team, Commissioners and the Governing Body for their immense contribution. Thank you for your continued excellence in executing your duties in this regard,” said CCMA Director, Advocate Cameron Sello Morajane.
Nationwide stakeholder engagements on the new Rules and Forms, will be delivered through a strategic partnership arrangement and further supplemented through other CCMA-initiated activities. The first instalment of the stakeholder engagements in partnership with the South African Labour Reports (SALLR) will be undertaken through a series of facilitated workshops. We urge Users and Stakeholders to follow the CCMA’s social media platforms for developments in this regard.
