Remuneration not the basis for determining compensation - [3 June]
In a landmark decision the Labour Appeal Court has decided that when awarding "just and equitable" compensation in terms of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 it is incorrect to base the award on the remuneration of the employee. The provisions in the LRA referring to 12 and 24 months remuneration serve only to cap the amount of the award and should not be used to determine the actual amount of the compensation. - GilesFiles website
