The offices of the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration will be operational as of today, 18 May, but only to members of the public on Wednesday, 20 May.
In a statement, the CCMA announced that regulations in this regard have been issued by Minister of Employment and Minister of Public Service and Administration Senzo Mchunu, in terms of the Disaster Management Act.
Should you want to refer a dispute to the CCMA, here’s what you should know:
In terms of the hearing of cases, the following will apply:
Should any party object to having their matter dealt with under these conditions, he or she must submit the notice of objection and reasons for such objection in writing and serve same on the other party and on the CCMA. The Provincial Senior Commissioner or delegated other, after consideration of the submissions and of possible reasonable alternatives, must decide whether the matter should proceed or be postponed.
Should you fail to comply with these directives, it may lead to your matter not being heard, and/or refusal to access the CCMA building.
