Recently I have presided over a number of disciplinary hearings and the one thing that always surprise employers is how their staff plead. Why anyone would incriminate themselves is a mystery to me, but hey......... it happens sometimes. some employers find themselves out of a case shortly after the hearing started. Let's not talk about credible witnesses. More of a surprise when your witness turns out to be completely useless.
And now for my all time favourite.......... I didnt know. or. I wasnt aware. or. I dont remember.
Unawareness and ignorance is a common and favourite among staff. However, after you fired them, they suddenly have more understanding of the law than your entire HR dept. put together. And when the fax with the CCMA referral form prints out your fax machine, the cold shiver of an ill affordable claim is the first thing that jumps to mind and you ask yourself, Now What??? And the damn hearing is on a date that you cant afford to be away from work. Can you believe it?
Stay tuned for brilliant solutions...................... till later..
