Probation does not remove the requirement for fair process.

Even during a probationary period, employees are protected under the Labour Relations Act. Employers are still required to follow fair procedures before ending employment, including providing regular feedback, giving the employee a reasonable opportunity to improve, and allowing them to respond to any concerns before a final decision is made.

The updated Code of Good Practice on Dismissal, which came into effect in September 2025, clarified that probation now assesses both performance and suitability, which includes conduct, attitude, and how well an employee integrates into the team. However, the fairness requirements remain unchanged.

If you are dismissed during probation without being given feedback, support, or a chance to respond, that dismissal may be challenged as unfair. The CCMA hears cases like this regularly, and employees do not need legal representation to refer a dispute.

For employees: if you are on probation and concerns are being raised, ask for clarity on what is expected and what support is available. Document the feedback you receive. Fair process protects everyone.

For employers: treating probation as a genuine assessment period, with documented feedback and support, is not just good practice, it is a legal requirement.

This is general information only and not legal advice. For guidance specific to your situation, we recommend consulting a qualified labour law practitioner.

If you are a parent, planning to start a family, or just want to know your rights at work, this one is for you. South Africa's parental leave laws changed in October 2025, and a lot of people have not heard about it yet.

Here is the short version of what changed and what it means for you.

Before October 2025, birth mothers got four months of maternity leave, dads got ten days, and adoptive or commissioning parents got varying amounts that were generally much less. The Constitutional Court ruled that this was unfair and unconstitutional, and the new rules kicked in immediately.

In practical terms (for now):
* Parents are together entitled to 4 months + 10 days of parental leave.
* Parents decide how to split the leave and may take it concurrently, consecutively, or a combination.
* If no agreement is reached, the leave defaults to an equal split.
* A single parent, or the only employed caregiver, may take the full entitlement.
* Birth mothers retain recovery protections: leave may start up to 4 weeks before birth and they may not return for 6 weeks after birth unless medically fit. These periods form part of the total shared entitlement.

This applies to biological parents, adoptive parents, and parents through surrogacy, regardless of gender.

A few things worth understanding before you have that conversation with your employer.
* The leave itself is unpaid under the BCEA, the same as maternity leave was before. Some companies offer paid maternity as part of their benefits, many do not.
* Birth mothers can still claim UIF benefits as before. However, if you are a non-birthing parent, the UIF Act has not yet been updated to match the new BCEA rules, which means your UIF claim is still limited to ten days for now, even though you are legally entitled to more leave.
* Parliament has three years to fix this, but until they do, most of the additional leave for non-birthing parents will be unpaid without UIF support. It is not ideal, and it is important to go in with realistic expectations about the financial side.

If you and your partner work for different companies, your employers will need to coordinate the leave split in writing. This is something your HR department should be able to help with, and it is worth having that conversation early so everyone is on the same page.

Your employer is required to comply with the new rules now. If your company's leave policy still reflects the old framework, you have the right to ask for it to be updated.

📌 Did You Know?

Under South Africa’s Basic Conditions of Employment Act, employees are entitled to at least 21 consecutive days (or 15 working days) of paid annual leave for every 12 months of employment.

Public holidays do not count as part of your annual leave, and employers may not replace annual leave with cash while you’re still employed.

Taking time to rest is your right — and essential for long-term productivity and well-being.
