Reply To: CAN EXPIRED WARNINGS BE USED AS AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES

[Anna Peal]

There are too many aspects of South African labour law that are unclear. And this issue of expiry of warnings is particularly problematic. The law should either clearly prohibit the use of expired warnings or should unequivocally remove the requirement for time limits on disciplinary warnings. This will give employers and employees clarity on what their legal rights are in this regard.
