In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we take at look at the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees in the workplace as Covid-19 has changed the way people work.
Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Lizle Louw, an attorney from law firm Webber Wentzel, who specializes in employment law, to unpack the issues.
Louw says Covid-19 has introduced much complexity into the workplace in recent weeks especially around the treatment of leave, pay for quarantined workers, travel policies and health checks.
Given how new the virus is and how the threat has continued to evolve globally, Louw says they’ve been advising clients around these issues according to established local legislation such as the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.
