Employment contracts, workplace policies and BCEA-compliant records

Employment contracts, policies, payroll-linked HR records and disciplinary support for small employers on the KZN South Coast.

South Coast Advisory helps small employers get the employment basics right: written contracts, workplace policies, accurate leave and payroll records, and a defensible paper trail for disciplinary matters. It is practical support for owners without an HR department, not legal representation.

Questions about hr & employment

Do I have to give employees written contracts?

Yes. The Basic Conditions of Employment Act requires employers to give employees written particulars of employment when they start work.

Without a signed contract you are in a weak position in any dispute, and the CCMA will generally accept the employee's version of the terms.

Do you handle CCMA cases?

We prepare and maintain the employment paperwork that a dispute turns on: contracts, policies, warnings and records. We do not represent employers at the CCMA.

Where a matter needs representation we refer you to a labour specialist and give them a properly documented file.
