Beyond status: Parameters of section 198D of the LRA, and competent relief for current and former employees

Section 198D of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA) contains general provisions applicable to sections 198A to 198C, and vests the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) or bargaining council with the power to conciliate and arbitrate any dispute related to the interpretation or application of these subsections. This includes disputes related to the status of the employment relationship between a temporary employee and the client of a temporary employment service (TES).
