Essential social security law, examines the law that seeks to
alleviate the economic and social consequences suffered by people
in the event of a complete or partial loss of income. It focuses on
those contingencies that have a direct impact on a person's earning
capacity, such as old age, injuries, unemployment, sickness and
pregnancy. It also deals with the death of a breadwinner, medical
incapacity, the inability to maintain children, personal and
community crises, hardship caused by the state and the lack of
opportunities for disadvantaged members of society. In the process
of examining these contingencies, the title deals with legislation
such as the Social Assistance Act, Pension Funds Act, Compensation
for occupational injuries and diseases Act, Unemployment Insurance
Act, Basic Conditions of Employment Act and Medical Schemes Act.
The k includes recent judgments dealing with various aspects of
social security and cross-references the important and
comprehensive report on social security compiled by the Taylor
Committee. It also contains an additional chapter on the concept of
informal social security in South Africa (such as stokvels). The
title also sheds light on a number of issues that have a bearing on
social security, for instance, financing and administration, unfair
discrimination in social security legislation and the social
security rights of migrant workers.
This work examines the role that the law plays in the eradication
of unfair discrimination and promotion of affirmative action in the
workplace, examining the Employment Equity Act as well as the
manner in which the courts have interpreted and given effect to the
Act. It is divided into four parts. In Part One the current
legislative framework regulating employment equity, namely the
Constitution and the Employment Equity Act, is examined. Part Two
of the book focuses on the general principles of employment
discrimination law. It examines the concept of "unfair
discrimination", the distinction between "direct" and "indirect"
discrimination and "listed" and "unlisted" grounds of
discrimination. This Part also deals with the statutory defences
against an allegation of unfair discrimination. Part Three examines
issues such as dismissal on discriminatory grounds including race,
sex, disability and HIV/AIDS; the principle of equal pay for work
of equal value; discrimination against persons with disabilities;
employment testing; sexual harassment; and affirmative action. Part
Four of the book deals with the Promotion of Equality and
Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act (PEPUDA) to the extent that
it impacts on the workplace.
