started with a bang and before we knew it Easter is upon us for our Christian friends, and our Muslim friends are in their fasting month of Ramadan.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;\">We have all been gripped by the Eskom saga which has negatively impacted our businesses. We are going into strike season where numerous employers, who do not fall under the auspices of a bargaining council, \u00a0have received wage demands. Most Councils do have a peace clause enshrined in their main agreement where outside wage negotiations are prohibited. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;\">That being said. Please make sure your recognition agreement is signed as a minority union will have the right to negotiate for its members in the event of such document not signed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;\">If you do get to such a point where a strike is unavoidable, please make sure that your security structure is in place. In the last few weeks NEHAWU illustrated that no court order is going to stop them, and no court order will force the Police to get involved.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;\">We are also entering into a major slowdown in the economy and an increase in expenditure of which we will not be able to filter everything through to the consumers or clients. That will again force us as employers to go and look at our structures and start earlier rather than later with streamlining our businesses for the expected recession.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;\">We thank all our members for their trusted support through COVID and the changeover from the old guard to the new guard. We are an experienced and diverse team with a bunch of youngsters that is energised and excited to ensure our ship sails fast and steady through the unstable and rocky times ahead. <\/span><\/p><p>My

Overtime<\/strong><\/h3><p>Under section 10(2) of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) it is mandatory to make overtime payment to an employee who earns less than the threshold of R241 110.59 per annum and who works overtime.<\/p><p>If the contract stipulates that the employee may be required to work overtime as and when required, the employee is advised to negotiate with the employer in order to reach an agreement. A blatant refusal may lead to disciplinary action \u2013 especially if the instruction to work overtime is not unreasonable.<\/p><p>For those employees earning less than R241 110.59 per annum, overtime starts once the employee has completed the ordinary hours of work.
