Frequently Asked Questions About Labour Law

Sections 9 to 16 of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act apply to most employees who work for an employer in South Africa. These sections regulate hours of work, overtime, meal breaks, daily and weekly rest periods and Sunday or public holiday pay.

They generally apply to employees earning below the BCEA earnings threshold and to those who do not fall into excluded categories like senior managers, travelling sales staff or employees who control their own working hours.

If you are unsure whether you are covered, it is best to consult with a labour lawyer to confirm your rights and protections.

  • You are unsure about your rights
  • You have received a notice of dismissal
