Employers must beware of concluding employment contracts that they are unable or unwilling to implement. This is because, as soon as the applicant becomes an employee, the employer’s extremely onerous obligations in labour law come into effect. A job applicant attains labour law rights as soon as the parties have concluded an employment agreement even if this occurs long before the individual’s first day in service. In Wyeth SA (Pty) Ltd vs. Manqele (People Dynamics, September 2003:39) the parties concluded a written contract of employment in terms of which Manqele was to commence work on 1 April. Prior to Manqele beginning work, he was advised that the employer was no longer prepared to employ him. Manqele took the matter to the CCMA where the arbitrator ruled that Manqele had become an employee the moment he accepted Wyeth’s offer of employment. The dismissal was therefore ruled to be unfair. In the light of this decision employers should: · Avoid entering into employment agreements unless they are sure they can employ the applicant. · Avoid doing or saying anything that seems like an offer of employment until the employer is ready to make an employment offer. · Never employ, contract with or cancel the employment contract of any person without involving a labour law expert experienced in dealing with these tricky issues.
