About this listen

 In this episode, Andrew Levy and Sarah Levy dive into the newly published draft Code of Good Practice on Dismissal, a long-anticipated shift in labor legislation. Andrew reflects on his 20-year stance against overly complex dismissal procedures and sees this as a long-overdue victory for common sense in labor law.

Key discussion points include:
- The move toward simplified dismissal procedures and its impact on businesses, especially smaller enterprises.
- Changes to retrenchment procedures and how they streamline processes for employers.
- The codification of incompatibility cases, with Sarah referencing historical case studies.
- Major updates to probation period management, including the removal of investigative requirements.
- Notable omissions in the new code, such as the lack of references to union officials.

Andrew wraps up by announcing a webinar on March 6th to explore these changes in greater depth. Webinar information · Website
