HR & Compliance
SA labor-law expertise, built into every hire.
South African employment law is detailed - and the penalties for getting it wrong are painful. EMPLOI bakes employment, dismissal, equity, and privacy law compliance into every contract and process, plus handles the day-to-day HR your team needs.
What we cover
Six pillars of a compliant, well-run SA employment.
Contracts & policies
Employment-statute (BCEA) compliant employment agreements, IP assignment, confidentiality, remote-work, and disciplinary policies - reviewed by South African employment counsel.
Labor-law compliance
We keep every hire aligned with the employment statute (BCEA), the Labour Relations Act (LRA), the Employment Equity Act, and Skills Development Act - with policies you can point to in an audit.
Privacy law (POPIA) & data protection
Processor agreements, data-handling policies, and secure infrastructure so US client data stays protected under SA privacy law.
Employee relations
Day-to-day HR support: leave, grievances, performance conversations, and probation reviews - handled by people who know both SA and US norms.
Disciplinary & tribunal (CCMA)
Structured disciplinary process, warning frameworks, and representation at the CCMA, South Africa's employment tribunal, if disputes escalate. We de-risk the hard conversations.
Offboarding done right
Clean, legally-compliant exits - notice periods, final pay stubs, UI-19s, and reference letters - protecting your brand as much as your legal position.
Frameworks we work under
Every SA employment sits within a stack of statutes. We track them, apply them, and update your policies when they change.
- Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA)
- Labour Relations Act (LRA)
- Employment Equity Act (EEA)
- Skills Development Act & levies
- Occupational Health & Safety Act
- Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)
- Compensation for Occupational Injuries & Diseases Act (COIDA)
- Unemployment Insurance Act & fund (UIF)
