The information regarding dismissals and labour disputes faced by EDD is provided in the Annual Report of the department. Information on the 2017/18 financial year will be available in the report to be tabled in Parliament on 30 September 2018. Reports regarding previous years may be obtained at the following website: www.economic.gov.za
For entities that do not report details in their Annual Reports, I am advised as follows:
a) In respect of labour disputes:
b) In respect of staff dismissals:
The reasons for dismissal range from unprofessional conduct, insubordination, theft and dishonesty, absenteeism and abscondment. In none of the cases were severance packages paid by the entities.
