"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 is a thoroughly revised new book, building on the foundations of the first three editions, but expanded and updated to meet the needs of the students using it.

The fourth edition has:

  • an additional chapter on Strikes and Lockouts
  • expanded content on social security and occupational health
  • a new chapter on additional legislation such as Rica, Popi, ESA, ETIA, PEPUDA, PDA etc
  • the law updated to September 2020

      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 CommunicationsRelated 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!

    From 1 May 2011 company law in South Africa was dramatically altered: the 1973 Act which had governed companies for the life-times of most business people and lawyers in South Africa was replaced by the Companies Act of 2008, as amended in March 2011.

    A new era of company law dawned, and with it a host of new concepts, rights, remedies, obligations, procedures and sanctions were introduced. These fundamentally affect the way that every business operates and the advice and practice of every lawyer, accountant or other professional adviser.

    This title, the first to cover the new Act and the new regulations, provides the hand-holding, the insight, and the understanding that business and their advisers require in order not to be wrong-footed by the new regime.

    Due Diligence and Corporate Governance is a general guide to a subject of growing importance. This handbook shows you how due diligence is used to assess the risk of any transaction, customer or investor for all businesses regardless of size or location.
    There are three main reasons for the rise in the profile and uses of due diligence:
    -Companies are now doing deals all over the world and must be increasingly vigilant about the individuals and companies they are dealing with
    -Investors, consumers and the media are putting pressure on companies to avoid dealing with ethically, environmentally or socially irresponsible organisations
    -Internal controls must address the increasing regulatory requirements introduced in response to corporate scandals and the terrorist threat
    Due diligence allows companies to profile the companies and individuals they are thinking of dealing with before any commitment is made, providing an effective safeguard against criminal activity, reputational damage, or breaches of legislation. With its diverse coverage and focus on the practical uses of due diligence, combined with explanations and illustrations of best practice by case studies, diagrams and checklists, this handbook is the essential guide for all those involved in corporate transactions and risk management. The handbook:
    -Provides a broad introductory guide to due diligence

    -Is straightforward, comprehensive and practical
    -Uses case studies to illustrate business users
    -Includes checklists to monitor risk management

    Strategies and Techniques for Passing the Zambian Bar Exam: Company Law and Procedure is part of a series which serves as a practical guide for candidate attorneys preparing for their bar examinations. The focus is on Company Law and Procedure. The book draws on the author's experience as a 'facilitator and coach' to students taking the Legal Practitioners Qualifying Examination (LPQE) at the Zambia Institute of Advanced Legal Education (ZIALE) and practitioners in a corporate law firm. Strategies and Techniques for Passing the Zambian Bar Exam: Company Law and Procedure evaluates the Company Law and Procedure course, focuses on important aspects of the new Companies Act 10 of 2017 and the Corporate Insolvency Act 9 of 2017, which came into operation in 2018, and provides various techniques for answering questions and preparing for the examinations. This book will fill a critical gap in an important course which is notorious not only for its relative technicality and the dearth of study and reference material tailored for the bar exam, but also for its low pass rate. Although specifically targeted at the LPQE, the techniques provided by the author are of general application and instructive for all law students.

    Regulating Mergers and Acquisitions of U.S. Electric Utilities: Industry Concentration and Corporate Complication (Hardcover):... Regulating Mergers and Acquisitions of U.S. Electric Utilities: Industry Concentration and Corporate Complication (Hardcover)
    Scott Hempling
    R2,411 Discovery Miles 24 110 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

    What happens when electric utility monopolies pursue their acquisition interests undisciplined by competition, and insufficiently disciplined by the regulators responsible for replicating competition? Since the mid-1980s, mergers and acquisitions of U.S. electric utilities have halved the number of local, independent utilities. Mostly debt-financed, these transactions have converted retiree-suitable investments into subsidiaries of geographically scattered conglomerates. Written by one of the U.S.'s leading regulatory thinkers--a litigating attorney, regulatory advisor, expert witness and law professor--this book combines legal, accounting, economic and financial analysis with insights from the dynamic field of behavioral economics. With a clear assessment of the 30-year march of U.S. electricity mergers, the author describes the economic losses that result when merger promoters and their transactions face neither the discipline of competition nor the rigors of regulation. This work is essential reading for regulatory practitioners, consumer advocates and investment advisors--as well as citizens concerned with concentration of economic power. The principles explored are relevant anywhere regulated utility monopolies have the legal right to merge, acquire or be acquired.

    The Structure of Regulation - Explaining Why Regulation Succeeds and Fails (Hardcover): David Williamson, Gary Lynch-wood The Structure of Regulation - Explaining Why Regulation Succeeds and Fails (Hardcover)
    David Williamson, Gary Lynch-wood
    R2,359 Discovery Miles 23 590 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

    This timely and original book provides an exploration of the factors that combine to determine the form of regulatory problems and the overall success or failure of regulation. Using environmental regulation as a basis for analysis, this book puts forward a theoretical framework for the design of effective regulation and demonstrates how businesses' compliance with environmental regulation, in particular, could be improved. The authors address previous shortcomings in regulatory explanations, which have frequently overlooked the structural character of regulation and underplayed how the factors involved work together to determine regulatory shape and performance. In seeking to address this deficit, the authors develop a compliance line to demonstrate how different choices on how to regulate will affect compliance outcomes. Chapters include a review of how regulation has changed and sought to improve over the years, the relationship between rule following and regulation, how regulation incorporates and relies on necessary conditions, an identification of the trade-offs involved in regulating, and a discussion of why regulation is, by necessity and to a degree, unfair. Providing theories for how regulation can be structured to improve compliance, The Structure of Regulation will be a key resource for students and academics in the fields of law and regulation, environment studies, public policy and political science.
