Question 1

Introduction
Roberta Marley wants to know if he may successfully appeal the Managing Director's
decision to revoke his job offer due to his transsexual status. To assess the legal
standing of Roberta's claim, relevant legislation, case law, and the relevance of these
laws to the facts of the case must be examined.

Market globalization has caused substantial changes in firms' external environments,

affecting the world of work (Cavusgil & Cavusgil, 2012; Lee, Olson, & Trimi, 2012).
Organizations must exercise caution in human management while the work
environment undergoes significant change (Ghosh, 2016). A number of studies
conducted in various fields, such as the health sector (Ali, Burns, & Grant, 2013;
Hunt, 2007), sports (Spracklen, Hylton, & Long, 2006), local councils (Senyucel &
Phillpott, 2011), hotels (Gröschl, 2011), public sector (Harrisr & Foster, 2010), and
private sector, have provided empirical evidence highlighting the challenges that
managers face in managing diversity and equality in the workplace.

Market globalization has resulted in changes in the demographic characteristics of the

global workforce, which academics, employers, and politicians around the world have
researched. A varied workforce is made up of people from various cultures, each with
its own set of qualities, goals, and expectations (Cennamo & Gardner, 2008).
Employees from various backgrounds have varying expectations and desire to be
valued at work. Management must understand the demands of these various groups of
people in order to avoid employee conflicts and disagreements (Hill, Stephens, &
Smith, 2003). To increase productivity, organizations must preserve workplace
harmony. Managers worldwide are emphasizing workplace equality by eliminating
"us" vs. "them" allusions and sentiments (Yang & Guy, 2006). As a result, the words
"diversity policy" and "equality policy" have come to be used interchangeably in
British and international organizations.

Employment Equality and Anti-Discrimination Laws

Employment equity and anti-discrimination legislation exist in many jurisdictions,
including South Africa, to protect persons from unfair treatment based on certain

2
protected traits. In South Africa, the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 outlaws
employment discrimination.

Discrimination in the Workplace

When an employer treats an employee unfairly because of a protected trait, such as
race, gender, or gender identity, this is referred to as unfair discrimination. The South
African Constitution, which guarantees equality and outlaws unjust discrimination on
several grounds, including gender, protects transgender people.

Discrimination, both direct and indirect

Discrimination can be defined as either direct or indirect. When an employer treats an
employee less favorably because of a protected characteristic, this is referred to as
direct discrimination. Indirect discrimination occurs when an employer employs an
apparently neutral policy or practice that disproportionately impacts individuals with a
specific attribute.

Discrimination on the Basis of Transgender Status

If Roberta claims that the Managing Director cancelled the employment offer because
he mentioned his transsexual status in the biographical note, he may claim direct
discrimination. This claim would be predicated on the notion that he was treated
unfairly in comparison to other candidates because of his gender identity.

The Onus of Proof

Roberta would need to prove a prima facie case of unfair prejudice in order to
successfully dispute the Managing Director's decision. Once Roberta has presented
evidence to support his claim, the burden of proof changes to the employer to prove
that their acts were not discriminatory.

Discrimination as a Legal Justification

If the employer claims that the decision was made for a reasonable cause, such as a
genuine operational requirement, the burden is on the employer to demonstrate that
the decision was made for reasons other than Roberta's transgender status.

Precedent

3
Obo Khanyile v. Dunlop Mixing and Technical Services (Pty) Ltd [2017], National
Union of Metalworkers of South Africa: The South African Labour Court ruled in this
instance that discrimination against an employee based on gender identity constituted
unfair discrimination. Employers have a duty to promote equality and prevent
discrimination, according to the court.

Application to the Situation

In Roberta's case, the Managing Director's choice to retract the employment offer due
to his transsexual status can be shown to be direct discrimination. The decision's
timing, occurring shortly after Roberta revealed his transgender status, shows a
connection between the two events.

Contractual Consequences
The HR Manager's claim that there was no contract between Roberta and the
company because he had not yet begun working is not conclusive. A contract can be
established by action and mutual agreement rather than through a formal written
document. However, this issue may necessitate additional legal research.

Compensation and Reparation

If Roberta is successful in establishing a case of unjust discrimination, he may be
entitled to remedies including as reinstatement, compensation, or damages for any
injury caused by the discriminatory act.

Dispute Resolution and Conciliation

Before filing a legal lawsuit, Roberta should look into conciliation or alternative
dispute resolution processes offered by the relevant labor or equality agencies. These
mechanisms have the ability to result in a resolution without the need for litigation.

Legal Counseling and Next Steps

Given the complexities of employment discrimination lawsuits and the potential legal
repercussions, Roberta should seek legal counsel from a competent employment law
attorney who specializes in discrimination cases. The lawyer can advise Roberta on
the specific legal requirements, rights, and remedies available in her jurisdiction.

4
Meeting with the Attorney
Roberta should meet with an attorney to explore the specifics of his situation,
including the relevant legislation, case law, and facts surrounding the retracted job
offer. During the session, the attorney will be able to examine the strength of
Roberta's case, advise on the various legal choices, and provide an educated
assessment on the possibility of victory.

Gathering Evidence
Roberta and his attorney should work together to collect all pertinent information that
supports his claim of unfair treatment. This may include email interaction with the HR
Manager, witness statements or testimonies, and any other relevant evidence or
communication pertaining to the job application process.

Conciliation or Mediation
Before filing a formal legal suit, Roberta and his lawyer should investigate the
possibilities of mediation or conciliation. To assist parties in reaching a mutually
satisfying resolution, several states provide dispute resolution processes such as
mediation or conciliation through labor or equality bodies. Participating in these
processes can save you time, money, and emotional turmoil.

Legal Action and Formal Complaint

If mediation or conciliation does not result in a satisfactory resolution, Roberta may
opt to file a formal complaint or take legal action, based on the advise of her attorney.
Depending on the jurisdiction, this usually entails submitting a complaint with the
applicable anti-discrimination or labor authority, such as a human rights commission
or labor court.

Legal Procedures
During the court processes, Roberta's attorney will submit the information acquired,
including the date of the retracted job offer after his transgender status was revealed.
The attorney will claim that the revocation was motivated by direct prejudice,
highlighting the employer's responsibility to promote equality and prevent unfair
discrimination.

5
Compensation and Reparations

If Roberta's claim is successful, she may be entitled to reinstatement, compensation

for any financial losses incurred as a result of the discrimination, damages for
emotional distress or reputational harm, and possibly an order requiring the employer
to implement anti-discrimination policies or training.

Publicity and Help

Roberta's case may garner public attention, particularly given the social importance of
transgender rights. He should be prepared for media attention and public interest.
Seeking assistance from advocacy groups or organizations specializing in transgender
rights or job discrimination may be valuable.

Ongoing Legal Assistance

Throughout the legal process, Roberta should keep in touch with his attorney on a
frequent basis to keep him up to date on the status of his case, any potential settlement
offers, and any legal strategies being explored. At each point, the attorney will advise
Roberta on the best course of action and successfully protect her interests.

Conclusion

Finally, Roberta has grounds to challenge the Managing Director's decision on the
basis of unfair discrimination based on his transsexual status. Roberta can exercise his
rights and seek appropriate remedies for the harm he has caused by seeking legal
advice, compiling evidence, exploring dispute resolution procedures, and potentially
pursuing formal legal action.

6
Question 2

Introduction
Roberta Marley claims that he was fired from his job because he was a member of a
union. To evaluate the legality of his dismissal, the relevant provisions of the Labour
Relations Act must be examined and analyzed in light of the facts of the case. This
guidance will concentrate on the concept of automatic unfair dismissal based on union
membership.

The process of dismissing an employee without a proper reason is referred to as unfair

termination of employment. It is the termination of someone from a job for illegal
reasons. When an employee is fired owing to true redundancy, incapacity, or
misconduct, unfair dismissal claims are often not viable (Economics Dictionary,
2011). An office disciplinary action is the process of dismissing someone from work
(Salamon, 2000). Disciplinary actions are formal actions taken by management
against an employee who violates the organization's norms. Employers, according to
Salamon (2000), have legal jurisdiction to issue orders and impose limits or fines to
guarantee the enforcement and compliance with such regulations. Employers often
require their employees to adhere to general society and managerial work laws, as
well as to refrain from engaging in undesirable behaviors such as fighting, stealing,
intoxication, sexual and racial discrimination, insubordination, and poor performance
(ibid). However, because employers acquire legal possession over employees in
offices, there are a number of unfair grounds for enforcing these disciplinary
procedures. This study attempts to address the instances of injustice and unlawful
termination of employment.

The Act on Labor Relations

The Labour Relations Act (LRA) is the major piece of legislation in South Africa that
governs labor relations. It gives employees many rights and benefits, including
protection against wrongful dismissal.
Automatically Unjust Dismissal

7
According to Section 187(1)(a) of the LRA, if the basis for the dismissal is the
employee's trade union membership or involvement in legitimate union activities, the
dismissal is automatically unfair.

The Right to Join a Trade Union is Safeguarded

The LRA recognizes employees' fundamental right to join and participate in trade
unions of their choosing. Employers may not discriminate against employees based on
their union membership or involvement.

Application to the Situation

In Roberta's situation, he may have a viable claim for automatically wrongful
dismissal under section 187(1)(a) of the LRA if he can demonstrate that his dismissal
was directly related to his trade union membership.

The Onus of Proof

Roberta would need to produce evidence that his trade union membership was the
reason for his firing in order to prove a claim of automatically wrongful dismissal.
Once Roberta has established a prima facie case, the burden of proof falls to the
employer to demonstrate that the dismissal was reasonable and unrelated to trade
union activities.

Disclosures with Confidentiality

It is worth noting that if Roberta's trade union activities included protected
disclosures, such as reporting illegal behavior or participating in whistleblowing
activities, he may be entitled to further safeguards under the Protected Disclosures
Act.

Nationwide Airlines (Pty) Ltd v. Mudau [2014] Case Law: The South African Labour
Appeal Court ruled in the Nationwide Airlines case that an employee's dismissal was
automatically unfair if it was based on his trade union membership. The court stressed
the importance of trade union activity protection in safeguarding employee rights and
fostering collective bargaining.

Reasons for Dismissal That Are Prohibited

8
According to Section 187(1)(c) of the LRA, a dismissal is automatically unfair if it is
the result of the employer's reluctance to negotiate collectively or involvement in
collective bargaining efforts.

Consultation with a Lawyer

It is recommended that Roberta engage with a competent employment law attorney to
determine the plausibility of his claim for automatically wrongful dismissal. The
attorney can examine the facts of the case, evaluate the evidence, and advise on the
possible legal solutions.

Recourse in the Event of an Automatically Unfair Dismissal

If Roberta can successfully demonstrate that his dismissal was automatically unfair
because of his union membership, he may be entitled to a variety of remedies.
Reinstatement, compensation, or other suitable remedies as assessed by the applicable
labor or employment tribunal can be included.

Claiming Time Limits

Roberta should be aware of the time constraints for filing an unjust dismissal lawsuit.
Employees in South Africa are required by the Labour Relations Act (LRA) to report
their issues to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA)
within 30 days after the date of dismissal, or within 90 days if there is a valid basis for
the delay.

Bargaining Council or CCMA Proceedings

Roberta would need to file a complaint with the CCMA or the appropriate Bargaining
Council to pursue a claim for automatically wrongful dismissal. The CCMA or
Bargaining Council will assist in resolving the disagreement through conciliation or
arbitration. Both parties will have the opportunity to explain their case and produce
evidence to support their claims during these sessions.

Conciliation
Conciliation is the first stage of the dispute resolution process in which a CCMA
commissioner or a Bargaining Council conciliator supports the parties in reaching an

9
agreement. The conciliator promotes negotiations between the parties and urges them
to reach an agreement.

Arbitration
If conciliation fails to resolve the disagreement, it may be resolved through
arbitration. Arbitration is a more formal process in which an arbitrator designated by
the CCMA or Bargaining Council renders a binding judgement on the dispute after
taking into account the facts submitted by both parties.

Keeping Evidence
Roberta should collect and keep any evidence that supports his claim of automatic
unjust dismissal. Documents such as employment contracts, correspondence with the
employer about his trade union membership, witness statements, or any other relevant
evidence demonstrating the link between his dismissal and his trade union activity
may be included.

Conclusion
Roberta should speak with a labor law attorney to determine the viability of his claim
for automatically wrongful dismissal based on union membership. The lawyer will
advise him on the precise legal requirements, procedural measures, and any remedies
that are accessible to him. Roberta can seek a fair resolution to his issue and enforce
his rights as a trade union member through CCMA or Bargaining Council processes.

Question 3

Introduction

Roberta Marley is concerned that his company will claim that he was hired as an
independent contractor rather than an employee based on the contract he signed. To
answer Roberta's worries, it is necessary to investigate the tests used to distinguish
between an employee and an independent contractor. This advise will provide you a
thorough review of the elements and tests that are typically used to determine job
status.

The policies and procedures that deal with what are "dynamic, interlocking economic,
legal, social, and psychological relationships that exist between individuals and their
work organizations" (Bratton and Gold, 2003: 485) are referred to as employment
relations. This definition defines ER as a framework of analysis for issues of labor,
employment, and the relationship between employers and employees. It is typically
seen as a broad phrase that encompasses any issues that arise between parties in the
context of interactions between employees and staff and employers. In that context, a
crucial distinction is drawn between a 'contract of service' (contract of employment)
between a worker and an employer and a 'contract for service'. The former involves
the employer taking the worker 'into service' to exchange for a wage or salary,
whereas the latter is a commercial/economic relationship between two or more
(nominally) equal parties in which a principal contracts with an agent for the supply
of products and services in exchange for consideration.

A mixture of common law, statutes, and regulations control these numerous

employment agreements. And, while these bodies of law provide 'clear' distinctions
between the two types of employment (at least in normative terms), there have always
been 'grey' areas in practice definitions. Because of the several jurisdictions and non-
parallel changes in the commonlaw of employment, tax law, welfare law, and other
statutory instruments, practical imprecision exists. Recent developments in strategic
supply chain management have also resulted in a rethinking of what constitutes a
company. Organizational structures and boundaries, in particular, have become

11
increasingly blurred, making it difficult to determine who is inside and who is outside
the business.

These numerous employment agreements are governed by a variety of common law,

statutes, and regulations. And, while these bodies of law establish 'clear' distinctions
between the two types of employment (at least in normative terms), there have always
been 'grey' areas in definitions in practice. The numerous jurisdictions and non-
parallel changes in the commonlaw of employment, tax law, welfare law, and other
statutory instruments lead to practical imprecision. Recent improvements in strategic
supply chain management have also resulted in a re-conceptualization of what
constitutes an organization. Organizational structures and boundaries, in particular,
have grown, making it increasingly unclear who is inside and who is outside the
company.

Because of these changes, 'traditional' full-time permanent job may become less
common (Harrington, 1997). The decrease in 'normal' employment is usually referred
to as 'atypical employment' or the increase in non-standard employment. Non-
standard forms of employment include workers who are either part-time or on a
temporary or fixed-term contract, as well as those who are not legally 'employed' by
an organization, such as subcontractors, self-employed, and agency workers (Winch,
1998; Ward etal., 2001).

Control Examination
The control test focuses on the employer's amount of control over the worker
executing the work. An employment connection exists when the employer has the
right to control the manner, method, and details of how the work is conducted.
Control over work hours, location, tools and equipment employed, and the ability to
delegate or monitor labor are all examples of this.

Integration Examination
The integration test determines whether the individual is integrated into or functions
independently of the employer's business. If the individual is heavily involved in the
operations of the company, it suggests an employment relationship. The degree of

12
exclusivity, financial dependency on the employer, and whether the individual
presents themselves as part of the business's workforce are all taken into account.

Tool and Equipment Ownership

The ownership of tools and equipment utilized in the performance of the operation is
also an important consideration. It may suggest an employment relationship if the
employer provides the essential tools and equipment. In contrast, if the worker
provides their own tools and equipment, they may be classified as an independent
contractor.

Delegation and Substitution

The ability to substitute or delegate labor to another individual is critical. An
independent contractor relationship is indicated if the individual has the authority to
appoint someone else to conduct the work on their behalf. In contrast, the inability or
unwillingness to substitute or assign tasks may suggest an employment relationship.

Risk and Reward in Finance

Another element is the acceptance of financial risk. Employees normally earn a fixed
income or compensation, whereas independent contractors may incur the risk of profit
or loss associated with their employment. It supports the designation of an
independent contractor if the individual has a considerable financial stake in the result
of the work and is accountable for their own expenses.

Obligation Mutuality
The existence of reciprocal duties between the parties is taken into account. There is
an ongoing expectation in an employment relationship that the individual will perform
work and the employer will provide labor and remuneration. Independent contractors,
on the other hand, often work on a project-by-project basis with no ongoing obligation
from either party.

Contracts with several parties and entrepreneurial activity

An independent contractor relationship may be indicated by the presence of various
contracts and participation in entrepreneurial activities outside of the specific
engagement with the employer. Independent contractors may work for several clients

13
or engage in self-employment activities, whereas employees typically work for a
single employer.

Legal Cases
While no specific case law is cited here, it is crucial to remember that the courts have
taken into account a variety of variables and tests when assessing employment status.
The use of these variables is determined by the facts and evidence provided in each
case.

Conclusion
A thorough examination of the factors outlined above is required to establish if
Roberta is an employee or an independent contractor. The level of control, integration
into the firm, tool ownership, substitution and delegation, financial risk and reward,
mutuality of obligation, and the presence of various contracts or entrepreneurial
activities must all be examined.

14
Question 4

Introduction

Roberta Marley has expressed reservations about taking his employer's disagreement
to court. He is looking for advise on the best dispute resolution technique to use.
Taking into account the specific circumstances of the case, this advise will provide
recommendations and justification for an alternative means of resolving the
disagreement.

Labor disputes are a fundamental tenet of all labor relations systems (ILO, 2001).
Most of the time, they are the result of collective bargaining reaching a breaking
point, which, if not addressed, leads to industrial action, such as strikes or lockouts. A
good labor relations policy comprises the creation of a legal framework for the
prevention and resolution of labor conflicts (ILO, 2001). Conflict between partners in
a relationship is often caused by competing interests and goals (Venter, 2003, p. 383).

A solid foundation for resolving employment, labor, and labor relations issues is
required for any country's economic success. Countries will need to build a
constructive conflict resolution system in order to address issues successfully and
quickly; this is especially crucial for workplace industrial democracy. Labor and
industrial relations concerns are not resolved quickly in many nations, and there is no
cordial relationship between employer and employee. Despite its rising interest in
labor relations and welfare, the government cannot stay a bystander. It is the state's
responsibility to pass legislation to resolve these competing interests in labor-
management relations (Ahmed, 2014, p. 29).

ADR stands for Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Given the possible benefits of avoiding litigation, Alternative Dispute Resolution
(ADR) is a reasonable dispute resolution mechanism for Roberta to examine. ADR
refers to alternative dispute resolution processes that do not include traditional
courtroom litigation.

Mediation

15
Mediation is a type of ADR in which a neutral third party, the mediator, assists the
parties in achieving an amicable conclusion. The mediator encourages discussion,
assists in identifying interests and issues, and steers the parties to a resolution.

The Advantages of Mediation

Confidentiality: Mediation provides a confidential space in which the parties can
openly express their problems without fear of public exposure or reputational harm.

Mediation is often more cost-effective than litigation since it needs fewer resources
and time.

Control over the outcome: During mediation, the parties retain control of the outcome
and actively participate in developing a mutually acceptable solution. This can result
in more satisfactory and long-term agreements.

Relationship preservation: Mediation focuses on settling issues amicably and

developing understanding among the parties. It allows for the preservation of
relationships, which might be useful in ongoing or future encounters.

Mediation allows for more flexible and informal hearings, resulting in a less
combative climate than formal court proceedings.

Speed: Because parties can plan sessions at their leisure and avoid lengthy court
processes, mediation can be speedier than litigation.

Recommendation
Based on the advantages listed above, I recommend that Roberta pursue mediation as
a suitable dispute resolution technique. Mediation provides an opportunity to reach a
mutually acceptable conclusion while maintaining relationships and avoiding the
potential expenses, delays, and uncertainty of litigation.

Representation and Process

Roberta should choose a trained mediator who specializes in workplace disputes. The
mediator can assist the parties by guiding them through the process, ensuring fairness

16
and fostering productive communication. It may also be prudent for Roberta to
acquire legal counsel to provide assistance and safeguard his interests during the
mediation process.

Nature on its own volition

It is vital to remember that mediation is a voluntary procedure in which both parties
must participate in good faith. If the employer refuses to participate in mediation or if
the procedure does not result in a satisfying resolution, Roberta may need to consider
further options, such as filing a lawsuit.

Conclusion
In Roberta's instance, alternative conflict resolution, specifically mediation, provides
a feasible and preferable alternative to litigation. Mediation provides a confidential,
cost-effective, and collaborative atmosphere in which to reach a mutually acceptable
resolution while maintaining relationships. To properly navigate the mediation
process, Roberta should hire a knowledgeable mediator and consider hiring legal
counsel. However, it is critical to note that mediation is a voluntary process, and if the
employer is unwilling to participate or if mediation fails to achieve a satisfying
outcome, other options, including litigation, may need to be considered.

17
Question 5

Introduction

Roberta Marley, a job candidate who was initially offered a position at Dobson
Accounting Inc, is in a difficult predicament. Roberta receives an email rescinding the
job offer after divulging his transgender identity in a biographical note, reportedly due
to the decision to abandon the position he had applied for. Roberta asks advice on
how to proceed because he is concerned about the validity of his contract and
potential prejudice. This essay's goal is to give Roberta some broad advice while
highlighting the significance of speaking with a knowledgeable employment lawyer
who can handle the specific legal elements of his case.

A contract describes the terms, conditions, and expectations that an employee must
follow while selling his or her labor to an employer. This contract could be in the
form of a formal written document.CEOs, professional athletes, and unionized
workers are examples of employees who are often covered by written contracts. An
employee handbook is another sort of contract. Depending on a country's legal theory,
employment contracts may or may not be legally enforceable; nonetheless, written
contracts are insufficient because all of the tasks and performance requirements of
employees are not defined in advance. As a result, it is common to perceive the job
relationship to be governed by implicit contracts of informal, legally unenforceable
economic, psychological, or social commitments.

Consult an employment attorney.

Roberta should obtain legal counsel from an experienced employment lawyer who
specializes in job discrimination lawsuits. The lawyer will be able to assess the
precise facts, applicable legislation, and potential legal remedies.

Collect evidence
Roberta should gather and preserve all pertinent documentation, including emails, the
contract, and any other relevant papers. These materials will serve to bolster his case
and provide a more complete picture of what happened.

18
Document Specifications
Roberta must record the timeline of events, including the dates of interviews,
communications received, and any discriminatory words or behaviors. When
discussing the case with a lawyer or during any legal proceedings, detailed notes
might be extremely useful.

Understand the applicable laws.

Investigate the rules and regulations that apply in the jurisdiction where the incident
occurred. Learn about any legislation pertaining to job discrimination, transgender
rights, and contractual obligations. This information can enable Roberta and his
lawyer better assess the issue.

Maintain open lines of communication.

Roberta should have open channels of communication with the employment lawyer
and supply all required information and documentation. Roberta will be guided
through the legal process and advised on the best course of action.

Conclusion
Seeking legal counsel is critical in cases involving potential discrimination and
contractual problems. Roberta Marley should speak with an experienced employment
lawyer who can evaluate the specifics of his case, such as applicable anti-
discrimination legislation and contractual duties. Roberta can pursue justice and
understand his legal choices by gathering evidence, documenting significant facts, and
maintaining open communication with his counsel.
