What SA Employers Must Know About the New Parental Leave Laws
South Africa’s parental leave landscape has just shifted—and if you’re an employer, HR lead, or payroll manager, you need to act now.
Join labour law expert Angus Bailie for a bite-sized, high-impact session unpacking the Constitutional Court’s landmark ruling on parental leave. The judgment rewrites how employers must apply the BCEA—effective immediately—and suspends outdated provisions that unfairly discriminated between different kinds of parents.
What you’ll learn in 30 minutes:
- How to apply the new “four months and ten days” shared leave structure
- What counts as parental status under the Children’s Act
- What to update in your contracts, policies, and HR templates
- How to align payroll and benefits with the new framework
- Why “mother-default” bias must be eliminated from your workplace
This is not a future reform—it’s the law today. Angus will walk you through the interim BCEA text, what UIF changes are still pending, and how to stay compliant while Parliament catches up.
Who should attend:
Business owners, HR professionals, payroll teams, legal advisors, and anyone responsible for employee wellbeing and compliance.
