Retrenching employees has been regarded as a relatively straight-forward process. However, recent judgements have shown that the requirement of fairness stretches beyond the text of legislation.
Retrenching employees is no simple matter. A recent Labour Court case has indicated that in the case of large-scale retrenchments, there is even a greater burden on employers than previously thought.

Poor work performance is often difficult to pin down.Retrenching the employee might seem like an easy way out, but can this be done legally and fairly?
